Ordered 12GB, I do a lot of 3d and VFX stuff, Vue, FumeFx etc. take a lot of resources. For example, I made almost photorealistic comparion of the Belize Blue Hole, but don't have the computing power to render it.

If I can get a rig that can handle 3D stuff, hopefully I can start to push myself
to the business. Always wanted to be an 3D artists, it's just my rig that has been holding me back.

RenderCows help bit still, tends to be a standard to have 8 cores these days, but I can try.

Just got GeoControl2 today, which is awesome pair to Vue. I could write my name in GC2 and rednder all the letters as islands in Vue 10. Amazing poop!

Ah, using it for 3D rendering makes sense, I was under the impression it was just for gaming, which would be a tad extreme.

My currenct CPU, MOBO & RAM are from 2007, so I don't upgrade my rig very often anywho.

Tend to go with this what I ordered for another 4-5 years and hope 3D and
gaming industry calms down a bit, so I don't have to upgrade that soon.

For example the island scenes in Pirates of Caribbean II were rendered in Vue 7 or 8, so they can already make some fancy stuff.

I have Vue 10 and the only difference I can really see is a bit faster render times.
(and the new spline crap, but GC2 is already for that)
