Dimitris Tolios Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Hi there I use 3ds max with V-Ray, Photoshop, CAD Both 4960X and GTX Titan are overkill for pretty much anything related with those... You will get practically all the performance of the above with a 4930K and GTX 780(non Ti - or 770). The only advantage going Titan is 6GB of VRam, which you will only come close to utilizing if you are rendering complex scenes with VRay RT GPU (not the regular VRay that DOES NOT USE GPU, like EVER) or you run games at very high resolutions and/or with modded textures.
