- A very basic and not particularly good rundown of the best computer for Blender in 1 minute
Let me know if you want an actual in depth video on the subject
My Website www.gabbitt.co.uk
Started with blender, bought a Mac, saw this video, cried
Same here bro just got a mac m1

@@videopro__ hoe is it going with the Mac Any issues?
@@xFlamewolf27x well it's not that bad....rendering makes the computer heat up sometimes... simulations take forever
Same
I think its important to say that macs are actually very good when it comes to many graphics, video editing and music type software. they just aren't so great for Blender :)
Ehh, mac for graphic design + remote desktop for windows render machine :P
I don't think the slicer let's you
shots fired! My M1 Mac Pro chews on blender no problem (at least for modeling and sculpting). But my PC with an RTX 3080 does chew harder and is a better renderer.
LMAO
You just wanna fire up the crowd, right?
"don't use a Mac"
should've started with that so that I had liked the video sooner
if it is not possible to put more RAM into your computer, it may help to decrease the amount of Undo-steps, or set a memory limit there. (Settings are at Edit / Preferences / System)
If you can't put more RAM, put FASTER RAM!!
If it's not possible to add more RAM, then you might also consider removing what you have and add different modules. You need to check what your motherboad supports. If you already have 2x 4GB modules, you might be able to upgrade it to 2x 8GB modules.
If you have a PC that doesn't have enough RAM in 2021, it might be a good idea to start save up for a new one.

Wallet: How about no?
Me: Yes I'll take that, thank you!
@@evm6177 1 year ago yeah. Now it's a little more reasonable
I WILL MAKE IY DIRTY WALLET@@evm6177
Wallet know what is better for you :)
By the way bro, I have GTX 1650 card. Can I use it?
@@mdnagib4269 yes you can through cuda but not sure about optix option
Haha the disclaimer at the end... 😂
Smh I’m doing well in Mac
Linux users running blender in 4 gigs of RAM and no gpu - "I'm gonna put some dirt in your eye " 🤣🤣🤣
I think that is because windows isn't hogging the Ram.
@Icedriver Actually Windows is a very bloated compared to the Linux kernel. It's the desktop environment or GUI (Gnome, KDE, Xfce, Budgie, Cinnamon, Mate) that can have resource issue. As of late they are all quite stream line compared to Windows. It also depends on the major distribution you using being Debian based (Ubuntu/Linux Mint/PopOS,) RedHat (Fedora), Arch (Manjaro).
So I might be 1 year late for a response but I'll still try:
- does it really make that much of a difference? Or was this an exaggeration?
- I've heard that there are major issues with the Nvidia drivers for Linux. You wouldn't confirm this I guess or has your opinion changed/is there anything to pay special attention to?
- which distribution would you recommend?
Thanks in advance:)
@@bemysugardaddy596 Pop Os distro (Deb) is nice with the Nvidia drivers.
Exaggeration
When my wife was getting a new laptop about six years ago, I told her to be sure it had a numeric keypad, because in those days Blender's interface depended so heavily on the numeric keypad for navigation.
Now that they've revised the interface it doesn't seem to be such a big deal.
True, but i would still recommend a numeric keypad, it makes the workflow so much easier and quicker.
@@Belidos3D You can set up a hotkey for a pie menu that gives you the same options as the numpad. The problem for me is that the numpad is on the right side of the keyboard, so I can't comfortably reach it with my left hand, so I need to move my right hand from my mouse and back every time. With the hotkey you can change viewing angles in the blink of an eye. Haven't gotten used to it yet, though, so I'm still with the numpad. But I think that's the more efficient way of going about it - by a large margin.
I agree. I have a laptop with numeric kb as well, but I never really used that for Blender. Most Blender shortcuts I use are on the left side of the kb, it's just too much work finding the right key on the other side of the keyboard. :-)
Just get a USB plug in numeric keyboard if the laptop you really want doesn't come with one.
@@icedriver2207 good call, also means you can put it on the left if you feel more comfortable that way
I literally just went big on a PC this week. I had been researching for almost a year. Was using a 2021 MacBook Pro and new it was time for a dedicated machine. Mac is great for most creative workflows, but not for 3d. The difference I see is night and day for rendering or anything else that relies on the GPU. Plus addons and tutorials are all geared toward Windows OS. That said, if you’re just starting out, you’re going to be doing simple models and won’t be doing heavy rendering. If you have a Mac, you’ll be totally fine so don’t let that stop you from starting.
Great video. I don’t think a full video is necessary on this one. You cut to the chase and laid out what you need: the more GPU, CPU, and RAM, the better!
Yes! please. A extended version would be nice, thanks Grant.
Also the end of the video was ruthless hahah, love it
You can configure a Mac Pro to have 1.5TB DDR4 RAM, 2 Radeon Pro W6800X Duo graphics cards with 64GB of 6DDR6 memory each, 8TB SSD, and an Afterburner card. I’m pretty sure at these specifications it would have no problem running Blender. Thing is though with these specs the cost is $51,799
Btw. You can buy JUST a number pad for your computer if you already have a keyboard without one.
I’m a Mac user and I love it.
As someone who uses a mac, youd be better using blender on a stone tablet than using a macbook
Strange, I'd have imagined that the big pretty Mac monitor would be an advantage, as well as the backup solutions. What's the drawback? locked system? Slow hardware?
bruh not me with a macbook it has a whole seizure everytime I try to do anything else and blender at the same time lol
@@LaszloIvanyi No GPU optics rendering, so you can’t really model in texture or render mode. I mean you can, it’s just billions of black dots everywhere…
I have the newest mac and don’t have any issues unless is simulations
@@DisgruntledPigumonbeen modelling fine without render mode dude, sure it sucks compared the doing everything in real-time render but the results still good. Rendering the final product however is just dogshit.
I use Linux mint since 2019 for 3D art and there is nothing like it when it comes to performance (Krita, Gimp, MakeHuman, Blender) all run beautifully.
my 2016 low end windows pc with a 1060 3gb and a i5-7400k works fine too but i think its going to struggle in blender if alots of details are involved
I’ve learned blender on a Macbook Pro and it served me well. I only used the touchpad and don’t have a numpad on my keyboard. Even when the rendering was slow as hell, I had a great time learning Blender. Recently I’ve bought a Windows laptop with Ryzen 9 5900H and a mobile RTX 3080. I also bought a good mouse and there is a numpad on the keyboard. While the rendering is a lot faster now, I still have trouble using a mouse. Even for the easiest things in Blender I need more time. I think I need some time before I am comfortable with the mouse and Windows system.
I happen to be one of these mac users, and well... It works. Sometimes. Definitely need time to get used to, but unavailability of some addons is indeed annoying.
Nice troll Grant. Another Mac user here. I've always considered that the strength of Blender is its support on multiple platforms and for that I am grateful.
I have a M1 Mac. It’s good to a certain limit. Cycles renders take an INSANE amount of time to render. And don’t get me started on animations.
I’m getting a PC because I do animations.
Thanks Grant need a full video on this one
Thanks for this, Grant. Just what I needed as my 2015 Win 8.1 gaming laptop ( Intel I7 cpu & Nvidia GTX 970m) is dying and is just not cutting it for some things I want to do with Blender. This gives me a baseline for research on my next computer.
There is so much info out there, and so many choices, yet it is difficult to get the kind of info needed to make the best "bang for buck" decisions when it comes to "the best computer for Blender."
Some of my past mistakes include:
Saving a few bucks today, vs future proofing
Assuming that what's good for gaming is good for Blender, as Blender uses resources differently.
Buying a laptop for running Blender: Too expensive and too many tradeoffs just to save some space and have some mobility. Laptops that can run Blender are just not that mobile anyway.
It would be fantastic if you were to go into more detail on what makes a good computer for Blender, esp. for those of us with a small budget, needing to make the best decisions about tradeoffs.
You have a gift for explaining complex topics clearly. Thank you.
Came to this video cuz im looking for a better computer than my mac and I'm happy to see I'm getting info from an intelligent news source
I think Grant Abbitt is great and his channel is worth your time to watch.
My PC running Blender and Unity is:
Win 10 and Linux Mint / Arch
Asus Sabertooth FX990 R2
AMD 8350
RAM 32GB DDR3
Lots of SSDs
AMD RX 580 8GB GPU
2 23" monitors
1 43" TV / Monitor
Coolermaster 240L Water Cooler. 2nd one that last one lasted 6 years. Really good.
People may laugh at my system, but it runs solid and no crashes.
It renders wonderfully with the RX580. Before that, I had an EVGA 660 2 GB GPU. That is now on the shelf as a spare.
As a lifetime MAC user... I still got a good chuckle. Thanks for everything you do for the blender community. You're amazing Grant.
👍🙂
Something i have never understood with Blender is the GPU usage, pretty much the whole foundation of Blender is OpenGL based, it uses OpenGL workflow for its normals (-Y in the green channel) so you would think that it's renderer would prefer to use OpenGL graphics cards (AMD are best at this), yet it's preferred rendering output is Cuda which is NVidia's strongest point and Cuda prefers a DirectX environment. Such contradictions lol.
Personally though, i find that while a good GPU and CPU makes a big difference, memory is higher importance followed by GPU, with CPU in third place, the more memory you have the more geometry you can use before it begins to slow down. My reasoning it based on creating high detail geometry, GPU is important for rendering, but it's useless if you don't have enough memory to support the millions of polygons some people need, and besides you can use online rendering farms instead of your own machine, and CPU's have a lot less impact overall than both memory and GPU, so i would personally say for GPU you need a minimum of a 10xx series Nvidia and for memory a minimum of 16gb to 32gb and if you have slow renders either live with it or use a rendering farm until you can get a better card.
I'm not entirely sure, but I believe this is mostly down to Cuda Cores. A lot of optimized rendering/AI is accelerated using the Cuda Cores and associated libraries.
Blender doesn’t use DirectX.
Have personal experience that Blender runs much faster in Linux environment, than windows. (Possibly directX is not a practical limiting factor? )
Oh dear... I can't say that I did not learn enough from Grant's videos and online courses, far from it! But this is probably my favourite video now 😂👍🏾🤘
such a simple and brilliant video!
i'm using a i9, 9th gen cpu with a 3080, but sometimes i play Rocket League so need all that power for that as well.
A few things to note: although 10 series graphics cards can render with optix, they do not benefit due to lacking RT cores, and will actually render slightly faster using CUDA. As an example of the massive render performance gap between 10 and 20 series: a 2060 will render the bmw scene roughly 30% faster than a 1080ti using optix. It's important to understand that this is just one metric, and does NOT mean a 2060 is 30% better than a 1080ti. (A 1080ti has a 54% higher effective speed.) However, to anyone considering a 10 series card for Blender: I would strongly recommend getting the 20 series or higher equivalent. You will literally render twice as fast, because optix.
Wrote this then noticed you offering to make a more in-depth video. whoops 😂
Hi Grant, I bought this pc Just for Blender and audio production:
AMD Ryzen 9 3600x
AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT 12 G
32 GB RAM
1 TB SSD
A video on performance improvement would be really helpful, especially when it comes to sculpting large models with a lot of voxels/faces.
Since putting together a machine for different parts, unless you have the same parts, performance improvements might be a bit tricky to measure. When buying a new PC the deciding factor is usually not the small details of differences but rather how much money you have and what you will use it for.. If you plan to build a new PC for modelling, I'd say, dual 32" monitors, 16-32gb fast memory, at least 1 TB SSD, a modern intel CPU as close to current gen as you can afford, and a good VGA specifically made for 3D are a good starting points. brands are not that important for smaller parts but if you get a bigger brad, that's usually more compatible.
Small details like what's the difference between 16GB RAM and 32 GB? not much, let's say 10-15% depending on configuration, brand, channel speed etc.. What's the difference between an intel 8th gen and 9th get? nobody really knows or cares that much. Look up CPU charts for relative compared speeds. The deciding factor anyway will be how much money you have for it. If you are unsure, get yourself an IT guy who can help with the specific hardware questions. Artists don't need to be IT guys :D
I would say also ram is super important. If you are doing just basic stuff or are just getting into it then 16gb can be fine, but if you are animating characters and making more high poly stuff then 32gb is optimal and then if you are doing physics with particles and other stuff like that and animating high poly objects then 64gb would be the best choice
I needed this !
I actually love using my mac laptop for blender; the trackpad makes navigation so enjoyable - I find using two fingers to orbit really intuitive, pinch to zoom works perfectly.. I’ve never used a mouse with blender
Does Blender slows down in Macbook Pro M1 Pro 16gb. I do want to learn Blender. Would it be possible?
@@sidclove6788 I have that model it works great! Since this comment I have started using a mouse, as I have a desktop setup now, but I still use an external trackpad for pinch to zoom and orbiting
@@sidclove6788mine is same m1 macbook pro 8 gb does that work with blender? Please reply
I was going through your older videos at like 1am. and onward and stumbled on this one. No wonder why Blender is not working well for me anymore. I upgraded the version and thought I have a bad install but found out I only have 8GB ram. I can only do your low poly tutorials now. Ugh... Thanks for explaining why I have a problem.
When I started blender I was using a Mac… the Magic Mouse was a pain to use and obviously no real GPU which hurt renders… now I use pc for blender and the Mac for programming 😊
Beautiful clip! Well done
I love it when I get a jab at mac users when i am not expecting it .... Just love it!
Get at least four buttons on your mouse, and you can map one of them to the push-scroll-wheel, which is very hard on your fingers. Also, if you can get a detachable numpad, that's great too because you might not wind up using the numpad as often as you might think.
I use a Mac, seems to do fine. I got it before I’d tried Blender though and in hindsight would have gone a different route. Too late now though
It feels like blender is the new crysis for PCs, and I have two 4090s
Mine is a RTX 3070 + i9 10900K, but ram is 16GB, I face lot of problems because of that, sometimes when I add lots of 4K textures, the memory runs out and crashes or just stops rendering, if you are working with lots of textures and high poly stuff u need at least 32gigs of ram 😢
Definitely need 32gb of RAM. My specs are close to Grant's (but with 16gb of RAM) and the biggest issue I have is running out of RAM in Blender & Substance Designer.
"Alright maybe I can just try to subdivide / decimate / tweak the simulation ooone more ti-i-i--i---i------------"
>Blender is not responding.
Depends on your models and usage. 16g is minimum nowadays, but 32 is not extreme either. just need to be sure it's not only big but fast as well. Some applications can be persuaded to use hard drive space if they are out of memory too, or older windows can have manual page file to set to an SSD perhaps.
@@LaszloIvanyi Substance designer is what triggered me to upgrade ram,
If you use the same noise it saves a lot of Ram
Hey, scrolled a bit and didn't see it, so throwing it up here (just in case): please do not skimp on your Power Supply Unit. While it is the most utilitarian of the PC components, a good or bad one will determine the flow of electricity to the rest of bits, resulting in how well your PC lasts for years to come. This is not to say buy the most expensive, but do please research the manufactor, figure out the needed wattage from one of the many online wattage calculators, and seek out the gold seal ratings.
Cheers and good luck! :D
First! Great video Grant :)
Yep I'm on a macbook pro for work related reasons and had to buy an external keyboard to get the numpad for blender.
Slam dunk at the end, I like it!
i have a three button mouse and a numpad, but i emulate both because i just like the way it feels way more. not having to click the mouse wheel and not having to use the numpad is just way too comfy
A 3 button mouse might be a bit too basic for Blender. Your best bet is to get something like a MOBA mouse with several buttons on the side. MIne has five side buttons and the scroll wheel functions as three since side clicks are recognized separately. Just having access to stuff like the undo function or add menu with a button press has done wonders for my blender efficiency.
Great video sir✨
Nice timing ....I need this information
yusss thank u for the precious insight, just what I need!
Im using 16gb of ram on my work machine (32 at home) it seems to be maxing out with 16gb but not sure if its because my scene isn't well optimised.
I have a few video textures with alpha and some high poly assets.
I learned to use After Effects, Blender, Illustrator, Photoshop, and some scripting on a Mac. But those are pretty much the only times I've ever used a Mac computer.
my computer setup is that i have a mac and a pc sitting right next to each other, and i use them simultaneously. when my pc broke i had to use it for blender and it was NOT FUN. i use the mac for tutorials because it has a really big screen (imac 2012) and good built-in speakers, and Logic because i don't know if it's possible to use on a pc.
Damn, I always knew I was not a person... 😆 🍏❤️ Grant, not annoyed at all. Im still planning to buy newest imac haha 😁btw. I did your orc/ogre on macbook pro and had no issues at all besides all the fun 🤓waiting for more courses 😁
cool stuff. Surprised that worked ok on the macbook with the polycount. good to hear :)
@@grabbitt yeah, I went through the course maybe with a veeery slight lagging at one point, but it was nothing disturbing the general flow :) For anyone interested Im having: procesor - 2,3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9, memory - 16 gb and graphics - Intel UHD graphics 630✌🏾
Definitely gonna need more details...
Awesome short, the facts about mac being kinda trash are what brings it all nicely together
So I do like Mac, and I have a pretty beefed up iMac that works well for Blender. However, I plan on getting a PC somewhere down the road when I get into some more beefy animation and video work using Blender. I actually wouldn't have a preference between the two computers but for two things: I like the Mac UI better, and PCs are much more prone to virus attacks. Perhaps I'll just keep the PC "off the grid" and only use if for video/animated work.
Which laptop should I buy for my requirements if I want an all-rounder laptop where i will be able to explore all parts of development (Android , software, AI, ML), Cybersecurity. Also 3d modeling software like Blender. I've never done gaming before but can consider it. Please recommend a few laptops under or about INR 70K.
I've considered dell g15 5520 and Acer Nitro 5 both i5 12500H rtx 3050 512 ssd, which one would be good for a blender beginner but will also support my other requirements.
I have a Ryzen 9 3900x, RTX 2070, 64GB of 🐏, and it's installed on a 1TB NVMe SSD. I haven't tried Blender proper since I upgraded my specs, but based on what you said it should run buttery-smooth.
Hello. What Motherboard do you have? I'm having trouble with my whole pc. It rus hot constantly, and it stutters sometimes. I have 3060 ti, 32 gb of ram, ryzen 3900x, Biostar 550 MB, 1tb HP m2 Ssd. I'm. Suspecting my problem is that terrible Motherboard. Have you experienced anything similar so far?
Could you do that too for UE5 or Unity?
That last line "Don't use a mac" briljant
i have i9 12900K with RTX 2080 super, what card should i upgrade to for an improved performance on cycles blender? I am thinking of a card in rtx 30 and 40 series
Newest is always best
shots fired!
Love my 16'' MacBook, but considering buying a second Windows Gaming PC. The GPU on Macs is just not good enough.
Got me an old HP Z800 Workstation..2x6 core CPU's..MSI-1080 Ti GPU..128GB of Ram and 500GB SSD and 2Tb HD...
has served me very well..(I wanted a ton of ram and a work horse of a PC to make larger scenes and handle multiple Assets of all sizes with ease..while keeping open my regular demand of 80 phuckin Tabs and running multiple monitors)..
$1,200 duckets..its one of my favorite PC's so far..
This is sound advice but a more in depth guide would be greatly appreciated. For example, what would be a good PC with fast rendering in Blender for someone with a budget of around £1000, maybe a little bit more?
I priced up the perfect Blender machine and right now it’s at US$1600. The problem is bitcoin has the cost of video cards nearly doubled if not tripled, we’re gonna have to wait until the coin chills out and video cards come back down in price
@@ZipSnipe hee dude! Would you mind sharing that ideal blender pc ? And is it still up to date ? Would really appreciate it. Thankyou
I recently build my new powerful pc exactly for blender and photoshop :D
I have rtx 3060 6 gb gpu, ryzen 7 8c 16t 32gb ram hope that is good
Hi! I have a mac mini and just discovered blender … 🤷. So: what about an external graphic card and which one resp. what tech specs? Thank you.
Yeah sounds like it could work on not tried it myself though
It’s so weird how I came here just to see what the current best build for render would be forgetting I had a Mac until it was mentioned😭
Though Optix support 10 series GPU but, it only works well on RTX cards.
Nice
HI - would love an opinion
Is a Core i5 13400F and an NVIDIA RTX 3050 great for Blender?
yeah that should be pretty decent
Can you please make a video for Linux users on selecting proper hardware (especially GPU)?
I don't use Linux myself I'm afraid
@@grabbitt I understand. Thanks👍
Please elaborate. A longer video would be great.
please answer 🙏😢
what if I have amd and 8gb ram
if I did a big things in blender will my laptop be hurted??
Might be tough
my mac is 10 years old and i cant render a 3 second animation, lokks like its time for a new laptop for me, thanks for the vid.
You and me both
Any chance that the new upcoming mac pros will be good for blender?
Possibly I've not looked at the specs it will be a lot down to the graphical card
Abott is 128 GB RAM good enough? Paired with RTX 3090 and Threadripper 3960x. Is this a good enough setup?
@AstroCat thank you, will do as you suggest! :D
I am having a pc from 2016 with core i5 6600k... Now I am just planning to upgrade the graphics card to RTX 4070. I heard GPU rendering in blender will not bottle neck with cpu as it does while playing games... Is this true? Or should I upgrade the processor and motherboard too?
i imagine it will depend on the complexity of the scene and game
Why not start with a mac? The new M1/M2 are decent enough for 3D (at least from what I found on youtube). Am I missing something?
I have Ryzen 3700x RTX 3060ti 16gb of ram i have never run into any ram issues and can easily model 10 million + Faces in blender only time i have an issue is when i export FBX blender Hangs for few seconds that being said i do use a program called ram cache on my pc
Love your tutorial bought your tutorial on gamedev absolutely love that as well. I’m a real person and I love my Mac…. So far. 😉
Cool. Mac's are just fine really just not quite as good as PC's for blender🙂👍
I highly recommend for laptop shoppers, an OMEN 15/17 with ryzen 7 4800H or above and RTX 2060. Absolute beast as a lite mobile workstation
As a computer tech, the big 3 Bottle Necks for a computer always fall on GPU, Memory and Storage, after those CPU lastly will always help depending on the version especially with 3D. the better any of these are the better your system will perform providing the motherboard is capable of matching the connectivity of those devices!
Good day! I just wanted to ask you whether a 6650 XT will perform as good as a 3060 in blender now? In terms of blender performance only because its cheaper than the 3060. Please reply
I don't think so I'm afraid but check the benchmarks
@@grabbitt thanks for the quick reply! Will do!
Q: "What's the best computer for Blender?"
A: "The most expensive and powerful on the Earth - backed up with several render farms!"
Bro can I use blender in Dell Inspiron 13 7000 8gb 256gb rom
See my more recent video on this subject
Lol! I’m a professional 3D artist and love my Mac but you can’t put Nvidia graphics cards in them so they do have setbacks when it comes to working in 3D. If you have a Mac and want to learn blender it should be fine to start with but eventually you’ll want to buy a Mac pro or build a PC.
I use an iMac which is about 7 years old. 16 gigs ram and 2 monitors. I gave no issues running Blender 2.83 on my Mac. I use Cycles all the time and have never had any issues at all. I’m soon to upgrade to the new M1x Mac Mini when it comes out this month or next. I expect even faster and better performance but suffice it to say, Macs work great with blender. Personally I think his comment is actually quite unprofessional. He could have at the very least say a Mac is going g to have some limitations when compared to a PC so I can only assume he is anti Mac. As I’m strictly a Mac user I would never suggest to NOT use a PC. Everyone has their preference and it’s not to me or anyone to say “Don’t use a......”
IT does depend what you do and generally you can get much better results, more speed and more polygons with an equivalent costing pc
If I running a render on Eevee in my laptop, is it okay to leave it for overnight. I have a vacuum cooler and keep my AC adapter plugged in for a long time. What's your opinion?
Most likely ok but I can't be completely sure
I assume that you keep you laptop plugged in constantly and the cpu very hot since you are rendering, I`m doing the same thing but is not a good thing for long term since battery life is decreased drastically (it will last 2-3 hours when is charged 100%), but is not that bad since you can work on it but you need to keep it plugged in, cpu will run hotter and hotter because the thermal paste will lose the conductivity, but is not a problem because it will last a long time(2+ years) and replacing it is easy
@hjf4a2 Thats not really true, it just depends on what your goal is, sure if you're trying to make hyperrealistic art then Cycles will do the job better and easier for you but if you try to make game assets eevee will actually look much closer to what you can expect in a game and your render will be MUCH faster.
Not to mention eevee is still often used simply because creators have very short deadlines and cycles requires a ton of time (couple that with the fact he already needs a long time for eevee renders i would never recommend cycles)
I’m an architect and mac user since forever, and that’s what I had thought. Mac are not on point for 3D, they’re fine computer for music, photos, video editing, but when it comes to 3D and animation they don’t have the gpu needed, even the strongest apple device now (mac studio) is not on point for that. I’m definitely gonna invest into a pc for my 3d models. Now I realise that with apple, I’ve bought a weak computer the same price of a strong powerful one.
Are the new M1 Mac's any good for blender or the upcoming m1x or more powerful arm based Mac's any good for blender??
Not sure about the graphics card though
Could you test the upcoming m1x Mac's in a video??
What about M1 M2 chips in 3.1 will it get better?
Look at my recent video on what computer for blender
@@grabbitt thanks for the reply I wanted to buy a laptop to start as a hobiest not sure which way to go, really wanted to buy asus Rog scar 15 2022 since it's the highest one in India but not sure if it's too expensive for the performance.
Btw love your shorts and videos thanks for all the content. keep making awesome content man.
I have ryzen 4600g without seprate gpu with 16gb ram. I think amd rx 6600 is good value for money card right now.
I’ve been thinking of getting a budget laptop to start out with and eventually upgrade does anyone know if the predator Helios 300 is good for 3D animation and modeling and if rendering times are decent? Thanks awesome video btw definitely gonna rewatch when it’s time to upgrade!!
It looks like a decent config based on the stats, but that's not really a budget laptop (unless you configure the good parts out of it :D) Gaming laptops are usually good enough for 3D modelling. My personal preference is not Acer though, but that doesn't mean it's bad, I just saw a lot of low budget aces on my operating table over the years :D I have a Lenovo Legion, you might check those too before making a decision.
Also have good long look at whether or not you actually need a laptop. Just to keep it plugged on a desk, you don't need a laptop. The only reason might be that it's pre-assembled, so you don't need to worry about parts incompatibility or mismatched hardware. but then again, laptop is for when you know you'll need to move a lot. And I don't mean move to the bed :D. If you use a laptop with a dedicated VGA to work out 3D content, modelling, rendering, 3D games, you need to consider the heat. My Lenovo can get incredibly hot after a few hours of No Man's Sky or Conan Exiles. so I suspect, if you render a lot, you will feel the heat on your lap with a laptop.
@@LaszloIvanyi well I kinda figured that laptops weren’t the best for 3D animation I’m just getting into animation and my first step is getting something I can do my work on my goal is to eventually work at a studio granted I do have to be extremely good and I’m willing to put the time into it but I know absolutely nothing about desktops or laptops or what the “meta budget setup” to get as far as budget desktops I have been having an extremely hard time finding everything
@@LaszloIvanyi but your insight is teaching me! Thank you 🙏
@@onlyusemepain6372 If you don't know anything about desktops and laptops, then probably the best is to get an IT guy to help you decide. If you don't know any available, a powerful gaming laptop is not a bad choice for 3D, and then you have all the components already built in and compatible. You can upgrade a laptop as well as you normally would a PC, maybe not the CPU and VGA, but storage and memory, so if you choose one you can afford now, you can add more years to it with a later memory and SSD upgrade.
If you see a good pre-built PC, that can also be an option, but I'd surely ask an IT guy there to check if the components are OK. pre-built PCs tend to cut corners in a few places..
You don't need to overthink it though. I have a friend who wanted to buy a new pc for several years, I build him a list 3-4 times, suggested shops and hardware etc, he just never really get to it ever, and eventually bought something on his own without my guidance.. If you need a machine, then just clear out how much you have for it and get one for that. Small variations can be in the config, but if you tell at the shop you need it for 3D animations and modelling they can probably come up with something. The point is you cannot keep putting it aside because you don't have all the right parts. Buying a machine can be as easy and as hard as you want to make it :-)
@@onlyusemepain6372 I'm happy to help if I can.
Love the "NO MAC" part😂
I have a 1650 laptop can I Use blender in it .
Yes
What about quadro gpu?
