Question How best to upgrade My PC (Rendering/3DApplications)

[FlewDesigns]

Hi all,

Below are my current PC specs which i built 3 or 4 years ago.

Now im pretty sure its quite up to date. now I dont really want to change the CPU if it can be helped but
i would like to know what I can upgrade to get a better performance.

Currently running a single GTX 1080 TI but just wondering if i get another 1 will that improve rendering in applications such as
Autodesk Maya with Vray or when using Photoshop (And Can my motherboard support it????). I try using the overclock feature on the application with the card but still get crashes with Maya.

So my overall question is... Is there anything at all I can do to increase my machines performance. Anything at all!
Also if you need any more information let me know!

Thanks in advance really appreciate it.

Did a bench test on my CPU

Keep 1080ti, and go on ryzen 2700x or 3700x as well

Really. thats odd how my processor although 2014 is still £400-800 and that ryzen is only £170! do you think its worth it do you, do you think i will get a 1/3 increase in performance? and can you sell old CPU's seems a waste of this processor? thanks

Yes, because this cpu's for rendering and 3d modeling in combination with 1080ti is great choic. Trus me

Okay is the ryzen as good for games? thanks.

Yes, but dont compare with intel. My life is not broken if i dont have 2 or 5 more fps in game. For real, yes i alse have ryzen, and is great in the game, but with optimal gpu and high mhz ram.

Okay i just dont want it to be a bias decision because you have one, i want it to be perfect for me and worth removing the CPU i have which cost £800 at the time. the benchmarks do look at least double the performance so it looks to be the correct move. Thanks

I dont speak, because i have. This is great for rela experienc from the first hand.
Im not lika ather guys who is fun (intel, amd, nvidia)
Im in this long time and worldwide build pc's.

In this case, ryzen is great options, how i saye before in posts with gtx 1080ti.

Ryzen 7 3700x is great optis, dont worry. Price is not rank before and after. Im talking for now.

Hi, you didnt explain that i would need to buy a brand new motherboard as my current is intel?

Ik, but i think you are wont new pc. Miss understanding.

In your situation, best way for upgrade is new cpu. Your mbo have support for last one i7 cpu in the line 6950x.

full system spec?
budget?

budget?

Hey what other spec's do you need?

Had to find my thread from when i bought it below, hopefully this should help.

Budget is anything to improve my current system really. but keeping the 1080TI.

 

[rgd1101]

so, no $ to upgrade but want it faster?

 

[FlewDesigns]

Budget of around $1500. but would like to spend a lot less, just anything i have which is a bad performer or anything i can upgrade without gettinng a new motherboard it seems. Would like to get the ryzen but thats basically like getting a new pc. any ideas?

thanks

What specifically do you want faster? whatever it is look at the usage numbers if your gpu is maxed out and your cpu has low usage upgrade your gpu and vise versa. also are those applications single or dual threaded? if so look at newer intel processors amd is close but still not quite there on single threaded. if budget is a concern go with amd

Well i just got the 1080ti so dont want to do that, looks like it might have to be a new i9 instead of my i7

RAM clock speed listed as 3200, but only showing as 1066?

Hi, all. I installed HWiNFO64 for the first time this morning to help troubleshoot another issue I was having and the moment it first opened up I noticed it shows my RAM clock speed as being 1066MHz, rather than the listed 3200MHz it should be. Here are my system specs: Case: CoolerMaster HAF...

2x8 Corsair Vengeance 2666MHZ wont work

Hello! I have just bought 2x8 Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2666MHZ Ram sticks but for some reason they only work when i lower the ram speed to 1066, anything higher than that wont let me boot into BIOS or windows. If i only use one stick then i am able to use higher ram speeds. Motherboard: ASUS...

forums.tomshardware.com

Could be running at 2133 alrdy but displays 1066 for some reason. Intel says your CPU can only support up to 2133.

I dunno, though it was odd. [emoji30]
