How does a high-end gam Hello Coarchitects Community!

 

I’m curious about the performance of high-end gaming PCs when it comes to using popular architectural rendering software like V-Ray, Lumion, and Twin motion. Given that many of us are balancing gaming and architectural visualization, I thought it would be helpful to gather insights and benchmarks.

Here are some specific questions I have:

Performance Overview: How do high-end gaming PCs stack up against dedicated workstations for rendering tasks? Are there noticeable differences in speed or quality?

Benchmark Comparisons: Are there any benchmarks or performance comparisons available between gaming PCs and workstations using specific software? I’d love to see some numbers if anyone has them!

Real-World Experiences: For those of you who’ve used gaming PCs for architectural projects, what has your experience been? Any tips or tricks to maximize performance?

Futureproofing: If I’m investing in a high-end gaming PC now, what specifications should I prioritize to ensure it remains effective for architectural rendering tasks in the coming years?

I’m excited to hear your insights and experiences! Thanks in advance for your contributions!
