New Beast Machine

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   Hello Everyone

I'm Planning to buy my second DS Machine (get my first with an Aventun 1 case)
This time I want to buy a computer mostly for use with Octane Render and DAZ3 Studio.
But Also playing with some 4k games, my monitor is a 34" Ultra wide Curved Screen Samsung.
I have this configuration, but my dubs are if I'm spending too much money at things that probably don't see any difference.

Another question that pop is what should I choose 2 Titan X or 2 GTX 1080 

Thanks in advance

Pablo

	Ticket Number: 1482256 I would go with different drive than the seagate. Having said that for Octane Render titan pascal will be the best choice so may want to switch to those. Edited by DST4ME - 01 Sep 2016 at 4:21pm

	Very similar to my build except I went 6850k. M.2 950 pro + 1gb 850 Evo X 2 in raid 0 for data drive.
	Velox \| i7 6850x @ 4.5Ghz \| Asus Rampage V E.10 \| Titan X (Pascal) SLI \| 32GB DDR4 \| Samsung 950 Pro 512 GB \| 2x Samsung 850 EVO 1 TB Raid 0 \| 1200W AX1200i\| H20: HydroLux PRO \| Win 10 \|

	For Octane Render titan pascal will be the best choice so may want to switch to those. so a few other changes: *Click Image To Go To Configuration Page* Bit of info: 1. Do not install Mcafee , instead get a lighter better anti virus like ESET ( number 3 on the list ) Or any other good light Anti Virus will do. 2. With extra fans request that DS changes all case fans and connects all your fans to the mobo so you can control them via free software. This way we can control the fans without needing anything else (aka fan controller and etc). 3. The warranty here is 3 year labor and 1 year parts so if you want higher part warranty be sure to raise the warranty level to the desired level.

By the way I not sure either if could be a better choice choosing as second or 3erd drives SDD samsung, what do you think ? Could worth the extra money ? And about when I been recommend to connect all fans to mobo, sorry about the silly question, what the mobo is ? Thanks again Pablo

	My pleasure mobo = motherboard Octane does the best with titans based on the benches/tests I have seen. SSD is a much better choice IMHO 850 evo/pro would be the ones to go with.

	My pleasure looks nice, if you can get your part warranty for as long as you plan on keeping the gpus. Now we recommend gpu change every 2 to 3 years, so if you gonna keep them for 3 years for example then go with 3 year part warranty. Otherwise it looks great. dont forget to pick your raid options

	Depends on what you want. Raid 0 = 2 drives work together for speed (here you gain speed) Raid 1 = 2 drives work together to mirror each other (here you get data protection, since one drive is being copied to the other. If one goes out you just put in another drive and go about your business as if nothing happened. No speed gain here) IF by safety you mean data protection then you want raid 1.

	That is a monster of a system. And lusty red! DS will probably advise you that the noise suppression stage 2 is not available for the aventum and not needed with lc anyways. You should have it for trick or treat.
