This means they’re designed to not work very hard for very long. Consumer grade CPUs are the AMD Ryzen and Intel Core i5/i7/i9 family, while the workstations tend to use Intel Xeon processors.Ĭonsumer CPUs are designed to run mostly idle, with occasional peaks of load. The difference between them is not so much what they can do, but how long they can do it for under pressure. Thankfully we don’t have to worry about the details, as that’s taken care of by operating systems and clever software.ĬPUs for our rendering computer fall into two categories: consumer CPUs and workstation CPUs. It’s the thing that calculates and shifts values at a staggering pace, although the instructions it can process are extremely limited. The CPU is at the heart of every computer, or in fact any smart system, no matter how big or small. Let’s take a look at the different parts that make up either system, what they do and what specs are important to look out for.

I use the Pro version on all my PCs, and I’ll talk more about why in a later section.

Windows (10) as two main options: the Home Edition and the Pro Edition. It’ll still work, but no longer receives security patches as of January 2020.

There’s no reason to run Windows 8 any more in this day and age, and Windows 7 is a thing of the past. When I say Windows, I refer to Windows 10.

For that reason I use both a Mac and a Windows PC side by side. I’m a Mac user myself, and a Mac has many benefits for text based things as well as coding and web administrative stuff. For those reasons, I don’t recommend getting a Mac. Additionally Apple are switching over to using their own CPUs, which means many apps will have to be re-written in the future. That wasn’t always the case: most creatives used to prefer Macs, and many still do – but Apple had a falling out with NVIDIA, so they don’t support these graphics cards any more. To get the most out of them, you really have to use Windows 10. Most 3D apps (including DAZ Studio) will work on both Windows and macOS, some even work with Linux.

Let’s go through every part of the above list and see what’s what. There’s no need for a cutting edge rig with the latest and the greatest components. The age of your device only matters to a certain extend.

Just be aware that there are almost always slower than their equivalent desktop counterparts. While I do recommend a desktop for heavy rendering work, laptops will work too. Workstations tend to have larger cases for more cards/better air flow, while consumer cases are slimmer and look flashier (with LED lights and transparent insets). The main difference is the type of CPU they can take and the size/design of the case. If this is your business, or you intend to make a lot of renders for animations, games or visual novels, then I recommend you look at a workstation as a more reliable partner in the long run. If 3D and DAZ Studio are a hobby for you, a gaming computer will suffice. They both have similar specs, but the latter is usually capable of more, will last longer and will also cost a bit more.

In general, for 3D work, you’re looking either at a consumer gaming computer, or at a high end workstation. This is the option I prefer, because it’s cheaper to do that – but I understand this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.

You can also build your own computer from lose components, provided they work together. You can buy pre-built systems from various manufacturers through BestBuy in the US, PC World in the UK or Amazon all over the world. The faster any of these things perform, the better it’ll be for the applications that sue them.

Feel free to ask specific questions in the comments, or get in touch via Discord if you’re a supporter. It’s a good question, and with so many systems and components on the market, I thought I’d compile this article as a starting point. I’ve had various requests and discussions with supporters recently about what might be a good configuration for a DAZ Studio and/or rendering computer.
