Yikes.
Knowledge is power, and home brew will always save tons if you can handle the support yourself (or internally).
That is the stuff I see. High-end workstations for the heavy hitter! 8GB Video, 16GB of RAM, with an i5 processor :).
AMD Threadripper PRO 5955WX
2x NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 24GB
128GB DDR4 ECC

pugetsystems - seems pricey!
I used to build PCs, and for a rather large architectural firm. This was in the 90s, so I am rusty. I have been buying from DELL, and their support was great. This latest computer, not so much. Actually, it has been awful.
I would get the 64 core. Remember the rule - 4 times faster everything (rendering anyway) You don’t need two 4090 though, unless you do a lot of gpu rendering.
I think I am going to pull my old computer out of storage and see how it still does.
just curious how your present workstation scores with vray bench?i can bench it against my 3990wx and we can draw some parallels.
I just did this score test. It looks like on vray benchmark score your cpu scores 8500 samples, while threadripper pro 5995wx scores 62000 samples this means that cpu is 7 times faster when it comes to at least rendering. So there you have it!
