|  Rendering pc questions Hi all, My brother is in need of a new pc. He designs kitchens and showrooms and needs a pc to be quick for rendering the drawings. He uses a laptop at the minute but as the software gets updated its becoming slower and now needs a minimum of 2gigs of ram. The graphics card is also too small so has anyone any suggestions on what hardware he should use. I gave him my pc to try and he said its an awful lot quicker. My pc is geared towards gaming and the specs are as below

| Re: Rendering pc questions Since he's rendering he has no need for a high-end GPU, unless he gets a GTX 260 or 280 since those can render or he could use a normal low-end GPU and then render on the Quad Otherwise Tenenbaum's build is fine

| Re: Rendering pc questions so the cpu is what makes the rendering faster rather than a super gpu ?

 | Re: Rendering pc questions They have built in physics and CUDA which allows the processor to do other tasks besides render video.

 | Re: Rendering pc questions You could probably take the heatsink and the paste out of Tenenbaum's build since hes not overclocking (assuming) and doesn't really need a top end cooler.

| Re: Rendering pc questions Always nice to have atleast decent cooling when doing rendering though. It will stress all of the cores and the cpu will get pretty hot on a stock cooler.
