Settle down people.

Breath.


Now, do you see your mistake?
Lol

As you can see I'm not terribly sophisticated with the more recent hardware

My old computer is 12 years old.

But I was told that if I want to pursue contract work I'd need a faster computer that was at least acceptable by today's standards

Old 2012 mac pro jes doesn't cut the mustard no mo @The Prowler

As you can see I'm rather out of date on my hardware knowledge since I hadn't bought a computer in a while

Is this forum not called Meltdown x Mayhem Hacks? What am I missing?

Oh I get it.

Fun to be a n00b. My apologies.

Were you able to figure out that there is no such thing as a Radeon 1900 XT video card?

Senile @Joe made a mistake. But there was no reason for you to spazz out about it.

Also, your Radeon 7200 is a very slow card by modern standards. But if it is working fine for you, there is no need to upgrade.

Here's what a typical 3D program requires:

AI Overview


The minimum system requirements for Autodesk 3ds Max 2024 are:
  • CPU: 64-bit Intel or AMD multi-core processor with SSE4.2 instruction set
  • RAM: 4 GB minimum, 8 GB or more recommended
  • Disk space: 9 GB of free disk space for installation
  • Pointing device: Three-button mouse
  • Operating system: Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, or Windows 10 Professional
For best performance, you can consider:
  • A CPU with a high frequency, ideally 4 GHz or more
  • A dedicated GPU with 16 GB or more of VRAM

  • 32 GB or more of RAM for professional use
  • A high-performance multi-core processor, such as an Intel Core i9 or high-end AMD Ryzen Threadripper CPU
  • You can also check out 3ds Max Certified Hardware for a detailed list of recommended systems and graphics cards.
So 32 GB gram in gpu a is probably what's acceptable now

Check this out @Joe...how could they be selling these for so cheap?

Really?

I didn't see any that cheap in MY search @The Prowler . Is it used?

And that particular gpu model might not work on a mac.

I just followed Apples recommendations. They never mentioned a Devil model.

Good thing I bought it with the gpu's installed as I probably woulda bought the wrong card had I bought it separately. lol

However according to this link the devil is also acceptable:



But it seems to indicate some other hardware may be needed.

That's in a macbook pro however not the desktop version

This 6800xt model is similar to the 6900xt but they still want $1500 or $1100 US for it on Amazon

Yeah...they might be display models or something. It says they are in working condition, but the whole thing might be a scam. They say not shipping until the middle of January.

I think it is mainly a size issue...as in physical size....some video cards are too long and will not fit in your case.

A men's shaving kit. I just spent a insane amount of money on it too.

Why are shaving kits for men so expensive? I got the Manscape package. Nearly 200 bucks! I also got him a book of the OJ Grimms fairytales....he loves books. He is a writer so. Black stem wear.

And a last minute Magic Mixie for the Squish. A new hair iron and a Jefree Star Gothic eyeshadow pallet for the 19 year old.

Just a bunch of last minute Christmas stuff for the socks.
