No I don't use sketch-up, haven't tried it yet.

Since Iran is under world sanctions good computer parts are scarce and expensive I'm getting the i-7 860 cpu for something around 320$ (i-7 930 350$) I'm getting the mobo for 230$ whilst mobo's which have 1366(i7-930) is something around 380$ ( I want a mobo that has usb3 ports thats why my...

Thanks for the advice guys!

I live in Iran, I havent been able to find any traces of Quadro or Firepro. But thanks for the advice. (The guys helped me out on another forum, I'm going with the 5770)

Hi guys I'm buying a new system for architectural rendering and I'll be mainly using 3dmax and Autocad. Here are the parts I've chosen Cpu: i-7 860 Mobo: p55a-ud3p gigabyte Ram:4g dual channel adata amd my main concern is which graphic card should I buy? In the forums they say that the Ati...

Hi guys I'm buying a new system for architectural rendering with an i-7 860 cpu, I'll be mainly using 3dmax and Autocad. In the forums they say that the Ati cards are a tad better than the geforce one but I also read that for rendering geforces' CUDA technology is irreplacable. So any advice on...

Hi, I'm an architect and I'm getting a laptop for my work and I'm stuck between 2 choices, One of them has an i-7 740 cpu with 6mb L3 cache but a good Vga (GeForce GT 330 M) and the other has an i-7 820 cpu which has 8mb L3 cache but a weaker vga (GeForce 310 M). I'll be mainly using 3ds max...

I'm going to keep it at least two years, maybe more depending on it's performance. So which one do you think is more suitable for me?

Ok, Thanks! Probably am going with CUDA due to a friends recommendation, but I really don't understand what difference it makes?

Hi, I'm an architecture student and i need a new system since my old one is dying on me. I've checked out the cpu's and these are the two finalists: Intel i7 930 & Amd Phenom II X6 1090T on the performance charts the i7 is a tad faster with 3dmax, but 6cores is very tempting.... so basically I...

Hi, I'm an architecture student and I need a new system for architectural rendering,technical drawing.... using 3d max(vray too), Autocad, Revit..... After looking around a bit I came up with two: Intel i7 930 & Amd Phenom II X6 1090T On the performance charts the i7's is a tad faster with...
