New Budget PC build for 3d Rendering and Gaming for architecture student. Please help!

[UltraJukebox]

I need to know, is this setup sufficient for running 3d programs like 3ds max, vray and lumion? Is gtx 1050ti (4gb variant) sufficient? I don't want to get a pro card. I expect this setup to last 5-6 years. So, my overall requirements call for a consumer graphic card. I am making do with a dual core 1.7ghz processor and on board graphics on a 8-9 year old laptop so this is gonna be leaps and bounds ahead regardless.

First of all congratulations on such good fluency and literacy in the English language. I rarely stumble across such people. Bravo!

Regarding your build: The CPU is strong, the GPU is not so strong. It will run current games decently and you could get away with some 3D design but it's by no means future-proof. You'll need at some point (maybe in 1-2 years) to upgrade to a 1070 (or whatever equivalently powerful GPU will be available then) if you really want a great experience. As SSDs get cheaper and cheaper, replacing your HDD with a SSD, or just adding a SSD (i personally suggest replacing) at some point in time will boost your speed for everything.

All in all: a pretty strong starting point.

Edit: typo.

 

[Half Life]

yes, at least 1070

Thanks for your time

Will the 1060 3gb do the job? I can't afford anything above that! Tell me if the following is true: 1060 6gb>1060 3gb>1050 Ti 4gb>1050

I will upgrade after few years if need be.

 

[Half Life]

yes, the order is correct, although the performance gain or loss is some what insignificant in some cases

As Half Life said: you got the order right. Depending on what you need, you should start looking for different things: for games and design, usually more cores and clock speeds are what you need (so the emphasis is put on speed). Having more VRAM allows you to load up more textures, hence it will be good if you're rendering or working on massive projects (3D designing a whole house with everything inside, its garrage, its front and back yard, the street in front of the house) or in games which generally "have a lot of graphical objects/ huge levels that need to be loaded into memory".

For most AAA games, by just having the latest generation of graphic cards you have the necessary speed to play them; but if you have low VRAM, it will become a bottleneck and your game will stutter since it will constantly be loading new and dumping old video data into the filled VRAM.

Go with 1060 3Gb (or 6 Gb if you can afford it) and then upgrade to something that has at least the same specs, but 8-12 Gb. This will make you futureproof for at least 3 years from now.

Got the 1060 6gb thanks!
