shaikhmohsin :
Achualy I m going to start 3d architectural visualization firm and I need to buy a pc but I m more confused.
I m unable to deside which system will be better for this work...
I have 2 options the 1 is...
Hp z800 workstation of xeon x5650 with 2 cpu, 24 thread, 16 gigs ram, and quadro 2000m graphics card....
And anather one is
core i7 4770k 4th gen
With 16 gigs ddr3 ram, and quadro 2000m.
Plz guide me to decide perfect machien for 3d architectural rendering and architectural walkthrough.....
shaikhmohsin,
As others have said, the z800 is the better choice for 3D visualization. The reason is that the two processors with 6-cores / 12 threads each may all be applied to rendering. The X5650 is a very good CPU with 6-cores at 2.66 /3.06GHz. However, if you are making large, complex renderings, you may wish to consider the Xeon x5690 which is 3.47 / 3.73GHz. In the US, these are not extremely expensive- about $250. The X5680 is also very good : 3.33 / 3.6GHz and la bit less expensive to buy now- about $200.
Also, I would recommend at least 48GB of RAM- 96GB is better! The HP z800 has the Intel X58 chipset, so add the memory in sets of three modules. I believe this uses PC3-10900R with is DDR3 1333 ECC Registered, but if you buy this system, take out a module and copy the exact designation. the goof feature is that this RAM is the same as in servers, so there are many used modules at modest cost. I bought 24GB for a Dell Precision T5500 (X5680) for $120.
I would suggest too, that you consider improving the Quadro 2000 and for professional use, consider in this order: Quadro K4200, K2200, K1200, K620- whichever is within your budget. I use a K2200 (4GB) and the performance exceeds the old model K4000 for half the price.
Good luck in your new business!
Cheers,
