Less pricey AMD paired with a high end GPU or a high end AMD paired with a less pricey GPU

[mw03365]

On a $4200-4500 build should I go for an AMD 2950X + Quadro P5000 or AMD 2990WX + P4000?
Main purpose is architectural rendering 7-10h/daily and no gaming whatsoever

Thanks a ton

Depends on how many threads the software you use, can actually take advantage of.

 

[Supahos]

That entirely depends on your software

Hi Logainofhades,
70% of the time rendering using: 40% Lumion, 30% Maxwell, 20% Mental ray, and 10% Iray,;
30% for creating: Auto CAD and Grasshopper

Hi Supahos,
How about these : 70% of the time rendering using: 40% Lumion, 30% Maxwell, 20% Mental ray, and 10% Iray;
30% for creating: Auto CAD and Grasshopper

Seems lumion won't use more than 4 cores. Looking into the rest of your list

Thanks a lot

Seems Maxwell does like lots of cores...

For overall balance I believe I would go the 2950x with better GPU route

As they both seem to care more about the GPU than cpu

Something like this should destroy anything.. seems the rtx Titan would be the "best possible" but it's $2500 and doesn't really fit your budget

And I know Maxwell likes Ray Tracing cores

Wowww, It took you 3mins to come up with this amazing build
If I go for 2*16gb memory and 1TB 970 evo, I can buy a 31.5'' LG 32ud99 3840*2160, does it make sense?

 

[Supahos]

For memory more is better, but 32gb is nothing to scoff at. As for the 2tb m2 drive I had no idea how much data you carried you would have a better idea than me on it. Can always add either a sata SSD or a high capacity hard drive later if needed

You've been very helpful, Wish I could offer you a cup of tea
Have a great evening

32gb would be good, buy you want a 4x8gb setup, with threadripper, as it is a quad channel platform.

Appreciate your help; learned a lot today, I should come here more often
