Also for render speed is likely to have speeds half or less than a workstation. For start apart of being systematically weaker and more expensive than a workstation laptops become obsolete quickly for that type of tasks and have little possibilities of upgrades, forcing to buy new ones much more frequently than a workstation to keep performance.įor renders that you need to leave the computer on for long periods I have been forced to change the fan sometimes of a workstation, that is quite trivial. I wonder if would be faster and cheaper a laptop for general use plus a workstation than a powerful laptop for 3d. IPS LCD, which is a variant of (active matrix) TFT LCDs, further improves display technology by providing better color reproduction and a wider, more accurate viewing angle. Both are rather weak and the display will make little difference in your architect work, but will be fancier. I'm open to other options, but not bigger than 15' I7-7820HQ quad-core or Xeon E3 1505M quad-core I can buy a laptop with a Quadro M2000 that is listed, but no one of those that I found really fancy me that much.Ģ- i7 or xeon? Can an i7 quad core works fine or is it much better a Xeon? I've been googling for quite a long now, and basically I couldn't get any clear reply about those questions:ġ- GPU: Can other GPUs not listed in the recommended hardware work fine with Max? The gpu that I'm talking about are: What I have to do with Max mainly is interior design and rendering.

I checked the forum, the newest is dated back to 2016 anyway.īut as I'm going to buy a (maybe) 2000 usd or more machine, I want to be sure it can handle 3ds max finely. I know this is a periodic topic that comes out often, so I apologize for that.
