Hello frens,
So my current workstation is starting fail and I need help building a new machine under a time crunch. My last build was 6 years ago and I haven't really kept up with new hardware expect for browsing benchmarks and using the pc builder.
My budget is 5.5-6.5K I work mostly in After Effects and Cinema w/ Octane.
Would love to see a nice boost in render times in both. Will you please review the results from the pc builder and maybe advise on dealing with price inflation on gpu's and cpu's. Is a 3 gpu build a thing or do they have to be in pairs? Thanks in advance! See build below:
