OTOY Forums

Hey all, I'm looking for options for an off-the-shelf PC build for an Octane workstation. I've seen a few sites that sell pretty strong gaming PC's for competitive prices, but as a non-builder the options seem endless and abstract. I'm not interested in building a custom machine from the ground up. Just want a decently-badass machine for FAST octane work. I'm ok paying a little more for prefab, I just need it to be a beast for both stills and animation.

Budget: $2-5k range.

Any thoughts????? Thank you!

good day,

for what You are looking to spend and from what You already told, look at anything with recent enough CPU (for general snappiness) + 3090 (for 24 GB of VRAM) and 64/128GB of RAM.

The rest of the system does not matter too much, since using single GPU You would not care too much about motherboard. SSD/HDD again will be based on Your needs.

again, for what You are looking to spend, look into anything through the prism of those three mentioned things.
