My old PC wasn't all that high end and ran it fine, albeit without running at ultra high quality, all of the original Time Trials video and poster in year 1 and 2 of time trials came from that machine though. Spec of my current machine is way beyond what you need, unless you want ultra high quality. I'd have to check my old machine (which now lives at the farm as a business PC) but it was only an i3 dual core with a 750Ti OC graphics card and it ran fine enough for NoDo events with 30 people in a lobby without any slow down. My current spec is i9-9900k 16 threads running at 4.7GHz boost, 64gb RAM, RTX2080 graphics card, two NVME drives for Windows and my applications/games to run from, a regular SSD for general data files then a couple of mechanical drives for a mix of media storage and back up. It's a bit of a compromise setup. The power was mostly for doing FEA and CFD analysis though, but I stuck with an RTX card as the jump in cost to a Quadro was too much and the Quadro gaming performance is not as good because it's not really optimised and I wanted the PC to be able to do both. Even so it's still pretty capable at that stuff, typically I'm seeing processing into the 1000's of percent faster than doing it on the Uni PC which have Quadros in them. Looked at AMD thread rippers as well, but the single core performance of the 9900k was better and that is a benefit for Adobe use so again a bit of a compromise. We're looking at 32 core (64 thread) AMD chips for another build for doing the FEA/CFD stuff at even higher speeds for a dedicated design machine, but that's too much money at this juncture. Or maybe to wait and go for one of the newer 64 Core ones instead. Edited May 12, 2020 by doubleg213 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubleg213 746 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) It's probably dropped down the pecking order now, especially with the new thread rippers but when I built it I was getting top 1% benchmark scores on Cinebench and Passmark etc. When I build anything PC wise I always go beyond what I need spec wise, you can never fully future proof, but I always go as high a spec as I can justify at the time cost wise to ensure I get some longevity out of it and always try to go with the latest architecture so you can swap out a processor without needing a full new build. It's a long way away from when I was writing programs in Basic with a single core 66MHz and 16mb or RAM on my first PC.
