I’m building a mid-to-upper tier 3D / 2D workstation.
Although I’m primarily a Maya character rigger, I’m interested in doing more personal content production.
I want to be doing:
Modeling / anim / shading / GPU rendering in Maya & Redshift
Texturing in Substance Painter
Comping and more ‘design’-y 2D work in After Effects.
Below is what the wonderful CGD builder spat out when I gave it the "GPU rendering" option:
My immediate reaction was:

My immediate reaction was:
- Might be a little too GPU-heavy / CPU-light for After Effects, which is largely blind to the GPU.
- Some stuff I’ve read online seems to suggest that a single 2080Ti is better than multiple cheaper cards, although I’m not sure how that compares to THREE 2060s as quoted. In fact I’m stumped re: RTX configurations, although I assume I would need more than one if I want the option of working while rendering, and then combining them for overnight renders.
