Maxwell Render | Official public forum

hello
i need workstation pc ; my budget 1650$
which the best for maxwell render ?
thank you

I think a few more details would be helpful/needed...

$1650? excl. VAT i think?

Custom/self build?
Which Apps beside Maxwell? Do you need a Quadro or FirePro?
How much RAM is needed?
HDD? Or only SSD for the workstation with files on NAS/server?
Overclocking? Yes/No?
Windows license needed?

Basically i would suggest an i7 4930K Hexa-Core. But it depends on the other components if this will fit into your budget (16GB or 32GB RAM, SSD size, grafics card, cooler, case)
Alternatively i would say a 4770K Quad-Core which will be ~$350 cheaper than a 4930K sys.

Options to save some money:
16GB instead of 32GB -$180
120GB SSD instead of 240GB -$70
A cheaper CPU cooler ~-$30
A cheaper graphics card ~-$100

but maybe you have to add HDD, DVD and Windows...

many thanks numerobis

you mean for Studio? i don't know if there are any advatages using a quadro for Studio.
And i think today it highly depends on your software if a quadro/FireGL is better.

not bad i think... but how would this fit into your budget?

190000 DA = 1777,74€ (right?!?) for a used gaming system with i5, 16GB and 2GB GTX660?!? Really?
This is more expensive than the two configs i posted above which are both much better (except the Samsung 840 Pro) and not used!

once again...

much more than $1650...


(and $1029/748€ is really overpriced... should be ~$500-550 excl. VAT for a new one)

i search now in ebay to find lower price

For that MoBo you need xeons as i7 doesn't allow dual socket, I think. Good Xeon's are really expensive.

I would go for the 4930K six core... twelve threads... I've got 3930K and is really great.

here these product are rares
all products here for gamers !
on the internet store i find many products but problem with shipping

for maxwell I would invest in that core,too. it performs a bit better than 4770K and with the right stuff around it even way better.
but right now prices are around 500€.

thinking of building one myself with that core.

cheers

thank you for help
i will search to find the best price
