Hi everyone, good evening.
I have a friend who is looking for a new desktop and asked my opinion.
She just became architect and normally works on Rhinoceros 3d, 3dsmax, Vray, etc.
After having done a research (within budget), I came up with the HP ENVY h8-1560ef, available here in France. Its configuration:
- i7-3770
- 2x4 Gb DDR3
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
But I also found HP ENVY h8-1518ef (10% cheaper):
- i5-3350P
- 2x8 Gb DDR3
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
Would the GTX 660 be a good choice for this type of apps?
* I know a bit about its specifications (memory speed and bus width, clocks, etc.) but I don't know very much which exact specifications pay attention to when we talk about rendering and stuff like this.
In this case, would it be better giving up the i7 for having 16Gb?
Thanks.
