Thanks Grant, I've been looking for such a video for quite some time but there was none until this came. Thanks mate!!

You’re a blessing for novices like me who are growing into things. As always, I appreciate everything you do!

I always gain a lot of vital information about Blender-related subjects from all your videos, Grant. Am planning to assemble a PC for Blender next week, and this is just the kind of advice I needed.

Normally I tend to frown at videos over 10 mins, bc ppl tend to ramble on or fumble a lot. This is so concise and you cover so much data that I don’t think is being talked about. Like you want fast renders? You want to push your computer during development? Start here. Not that you can’t optimize but this is how you get the bang for your Buck.

Completely new to Blender and rendering in general but I tinker in AutoCAD for 3d printing so I'm trying to use Blender sculpting in particular for the more organic forms that autocad battles with. But once you start with one thing in Blender it's a rabbit hole with all it can do. Love your videos as they are easy to follow and very informative. Thanks for all the hard work you put into your videos.

Of course he will want to game on the same PC so it’s still not going to be all plain sailing! Thanks for sharing your thoughts 👍

Thank youu!! This video is exactly what i was looking for!

Wow, thank you so much! this is exactly what I was looking for!

Thanks for a great video. It's a good concise overview of a complicated topic.

Nice oversight man! I find it interesting that your latter day general recommendation sits around the £1200 mark, which was pretty much bang on to my total purchase cost at the end of 2017 - a self-built affair, and a very welcome upgrade, from a 10+ year old PC. At the time GPU's were a bit over RRP (not as bad as it has been of late), but I managed to offset the cost (an EVGA GTX-1070SC) with the CPU (Ryzen 1600) which was only £136 at a time when the going RRP was £229. All in all I've been happy with it but it's nice to find you making this video. A lot is often spoken of about gaming performance but not so often with productivity. The most crucial part does seem to be the complexity of the various ways in which software like Blender may choose to use your system resources, which appears to make the difference when it comes to component priority. In this respect I get the feeling the quality of PC's lifespan with respect to performance doesn't actually change as much as I imagined, or maybe that's just my perspective having last made good on a 10 year iteration! Perhaps with all the above in mind my own system will be plenty good for at least another five years before I'd notice a significant difference.

Thank you this information was very helpful for me, I really appreciate the hard work you put into this video

Don't go above 16 core CPU as the extra cores not only cost a lot more there is a huge core speed drop off above 16 cores (meaning single speed is reduced). The current cost of GPU mean that the new 40xx mid-level examples are closely priced to the low-level.

I've upgraded my laptop partially for gaming and partially so I had a machine that could handle several design programs open at once without lighting on fire and crashing.

Video came at the perfect time! I have a Mac but realize that it isn’t the best for blender and was wondering about getting another laptop.

Hey great video idea , i use a matebook to design and it works kinda good , again great video idea

I have built one or two performance machines in the past from work stations, to servers and gaming PC's. My current build was designed purposely for Blender where I regularly work with 3.8+ Gigabyte model files. My advice, you must have PCIe 4.0 and two fast PCIe 4.0 NVMe drives a 500Gb for the OS (Linux is best and 25% faster with Blender) and a 1Tb for your work in progress, I also use a 2Gb standard SATA for on machine archive. Video card, due to the price hike I'm still running an 8Gb RX 5700 which is a good card for Blender. Going AMD/Intel well that's personal preference, I like AMD's Ryzen 7 5800x it has a decent Core clock and is well priced. Your going to to torture the mainboards VRM's, MSI build some nice X57 mainboards with this in mind but read the reviews... they have also made some crap my own board is the the MSI Tomahawk X570. For power a decent PSU with true 700 watt delivery. 16Gb of RAM in 2x8Gb's, it's cheaper and your going to need another 2x8Gb's... yes your going to populate all four memory slots eventually. CASE be conservative it's a metal box spend your cash on performance. Cooling, don't skimp. Air cooling is cost effective water cooling is quieter if you know what you are doing. Clossed loop stuff off the shelf is good if you can get good deals I got a Corasir H81 for the CPU that seems to do a geat job. Screens.. I use 2x 27" curved screens on a 3rd party central mount. Try and get something with 140+MHz refresh it's better on your eyes, anything over 2K is bollocks. Your eye can't actually see it and it's pointless for Blender.(I assume I will get comments on that). Audio for tunes while you work.... sorry PC speakers/headsets market is so full of cheap crap with a high price tag I'm lost. If your listen to anything after 1986 or rap buy any old crap. I used to sell decent Hi Fi (no boss or bang & olufson) so I have a trusty pair of Bowers & Wilkins MM-01's for film and classical music. You may not get what you want for £1200, but you can move towards it. Buy what you need now with a view to adding to it. One last point. empty your temp folder every week and don't fill your SSD's past 84%. Well that's it from me, this was a bit long but hope it helps.

the graphics card but also try optimising your scene

I have GTX 1660 6Gb, and It's not the best but it does the job nicely. And I agree with the point that, It's better to get a tower PC instead of a laptop, Hardware sounds the same but performs differently. Before this, I used to work on a 7yr old laptop with AMD r5, The rendering time for me had changed a lot, previously at 500 samples my laptop took about 1 hour to render 1 frame, My New PC render the same in just a few seconds.

I am learning Blender. Just had my old computer die after a power outage , mainly a bad system on my NVMe but it convinced my wife for me to upgrade instead of paying someone $250 to come fix the computer. it was a 5930K on a Asus Rampage V (10th anniversary board) 64gb ddr4 2133 and a 1660 Super. Graphics card is still good. There where already issues with the board and GPU not liking each other. Anyway, COST and availability are key for fast replacement. Was wanting to wait for Zen 5 but prices are going to be crazy expensive and I am semi-retired on a limited budget. I just bought a MOSTLY basic AM4 system . I am cash strapped. Ordered a B550 Taichi (which I had already ordered a couple weeks ago to begin upgrades). With a $450 budget I got : 32gb G.Skill Ripjaws V cl 18 3600mhz kit, a 5600 (non x) because I can't wait 10 days for it, I will upgrade to a 5900x or 5950 when I can. Even the 5600 will more than DOUBLE the speed of my current CPU, and the 5900 0r 5950 is QUADRUPLE the CPU performance. I plan on working in Blender a lot more. I will be getting a pen display after I learn more in Blender.

Excited as I will be getting a new pc after 6 years.

Got to this video now that I'm buying a new PC, but been using Blender for 2 years in a Intel i5 3rd gen, 3.00ghz, 16GB, Radeon 550 4GB. I never use Cycles, only for Bake, but Eevee can be used for very complex scenes, with high level of details. Render do takes a lot even in Eevee, but is possible to make short animations. It was perfect to learn and start showing some art work.

I will have to put that together at some point

Maybe a question for a Linux forum, but since I’m here I might ask… If I’m aiming for a Blender machine running Linux, would that impact the choice between Intel and AMD CPU? Have a Surface Pro 8 and an old i5-750 (first gen i5!) with a GTX 1060. Both sort of works for modelling, but the render times are loooooong.

Really good video,i like the way you go with this because you are talking a lot about regular medium spec rigs,not a PCs that cost 20k plus lol. For blender you can really work fine with any medium range chip 2-3 years old,but i think GPU must have at least 8GB of ram. So for people who dont have lots of money to spend Ryzen 5 2600x and RTX 2060super with 16gb of ram would work just fine with blender,all this components are 2-3 years old so not that expensive but still nice. But there is a catch for serious sculpting and modeling in milions of polygons requirements are far higher than this,so for this job you need i9/ryzen9 cpu anything bellow would just be pain in ashh. On the current marker best CPU for this job is a Threadripper PRO 3995WX,it would literally wipe the floor with every i9 or any other ryzen CPU,but yea lol...it's a $7.000,this is only for rich kids :D.

Just came across your excellent video. Spent quite a while yesterday specing up a PC (by coincidence PC specialist) and using the blender benchmarks, I am currently using a Mac M1 - and it is working quite well on EEVEE - but really slows down on Cycles. Compared lots of configurations and what I am thinking is a Ryzen 7950X CPU, Nvidia 12gb 4070 Super, 32GB Ram, 1TB SSD - CPU benchmark 554 - which is 583% my Mac, GPU benchmark 6361 which is 2,485% my Mac. Comes out about £1,645 on PC specialist. Interesting what you say about Linux - might try that when I get it is it speeds up the rendering. Am thinking that will mainly continue using the Mac for the actual modelling, with the PC possibly in another room (due to noise) for the rendering.

Normals enabled in viewport with Eevee, man. That's what slows mine down the most. Gotta disconnect them all when working with eevee viewport, then connect before rendering. A plugin to enable/disable all normal maps in Blender with one click would be magnificent.

Blender is a self-contained programme, not a programme that installs system files everywhere. A new version doesn't upgrade a previous version, as the installation process doesn't look at what's installed already, and therefore doesn't transfer any manually installed add-ons. However, you should be able to have multiple versions of Blender installed, meaning you can switch between them if required. It's handy if you're following a tutorial that's based on a specific version (I find anyway).

To anyone reading this comment - can you please recommend a laptop for someone that wants to explore all parts of development? I'm already working on web dev but I want to explore everything like Android dev, game dev, ai ml, ds, cybersecurity. I also want to explore digital art 3d modelling rendering software like blender. Are there any laptops under INR 70k? Also is it better to buy online or offline? I'm extremely confused with so many laptops options, can you recommend what laptop model would be great?

I'm using a 13inch laptop 8gb ram without dedicated graphic card, it's enough for me to learn different tools and create something light, only one single object in each creation.. I'm 3 month in. if my level goes up more and I still doing it by end of this year I will upgrade

Grant I think you forgot to mention something. if you are doing any kind of animation, even if it's some 15-30 second clips, It's better to keep the polygon count & other particle features as low as possible, and also render it on Eevee. Otherwise, it would take you an eternity to render them on Cycles. For a single frame illustration, or some other jobs like pre visualization or look dev (in which case you would need only one or two frames) even a weak PC is fine. It will take probably half an hour to render something on Cycles with 8K texture, 4096 samples at high resolution with intel denoiser for a weak PC. So that's doable. But don't ever think about creating animations with a weak PC. Even an Ocean simulation for 5 sec clips will take you 2-3 hours.

Check the bench marks, but I'm pretty sure that will do fine

In my classes for blender we use iMacs (I think- they’re Apple to say the least) there so I was planning on getting one too but I don’t know yet so- let’s see what you suggest in the video. I haven’t finished it yet so-

My biggest problem hasn't been with my PC's hardware but with Windows 11. Running Blender on Windows 11 has caused me severe memory leaks, to the point that File Explorer ends up taking 4 GB of memory, and I end up having to restart File Explorer (or even Windows itself) every few hours. Even after I exit Blender, File Explorer continues to eat more and more memory all by itself. I never had this problem with Windows 10. If anyone has found a good workaround, I'd sure appreciate hearing from them.

Honestly you work on what you got, if you can afford to throw 100k for computer no one will stop you. If you have like 500 bucks you can also find computer for work... Is it gonna be good? Nope, but it will work. For many years I was working on laptop with slow Radeon GPU and bottom line Intel cpu unless I was working on scene with less than 3 million tris it was good for modeling. As for rendering? Not much unless you keep it over night. Most of modern hardware from middle price tag or even low end is really good for blender and comparing to more expensive stuff it will be really few sec faster so is it worth? Huge number of blender user, if not most, work with modeling objects and characters for other engines. They don't render scenes they don't do fluid simulations or super hi res sculpture so do they need best of the best hardware when even my current rig that is average as hell doesn't really use half of its power when I work... So why bother? And if someone render complex scenes and animations... Well even with quantum computer you will still be sitting in front of the desk sweating as hell after hitting "render" as blender sadly is still not very stable... In other hand I think that having slower pc thought me to optimize everything and this brought me lots of good point with clients and bunch of ideas. Now most of people that work on models do the same thing as game developers: they throw everything on scene and call it a day. It doesn't work for someone? Tell them to get better pc. And it would be cool if that throwing would bring some massive boost on quality but no. I still see people slapping 4k textures on background objects far from scene that you never see from close. Not using mip enabling real time shadows and reflections on every single object. Or Rendering in some insane settings without realizing that it will not improve quality... So yeah. Sometimes having tad slower pc teach you a lesson and some tricks that speed up work flow way better than few seconds faster rendering...

I switched from an expensive iMac to a laptop PC for half the price and I couldn’t be happier. M1 chips can’t even be compared with navida. Even if the hardcore M1 chip people would like it to be. I wrote PC specialist and said, hey I am going to use this and that. Same day, they replied “ Here you go! “ While Apple will sell you anything and say that it will work. But it doesn’t, not if you want to make a complex scene.

Can you tell me which gpu will be good for a blender, gtx 970 4gb or Rx 480 8GB?

Great video but to make it simple, get the fastest 8 core cpu, but more important: run the most cuda core graphics card at the latest generation that your budget allows. Now for some points and advice: Each nvidia generation is about 20% faster cuda core for cuda core. All rendering (Viewport and Final) are done with graphics cores so forget the cpu cores for that task. Simulation/dynamics work in Blender doesn't use much above 8 cpu cores ... yet! Maybe 10 - 12 cores to future proof it. Note: I wouldn't wait for 4000 series Nvidia due to the unknowns, go with one in the 3000 series that fits your budget (at $/performance I would go with at least a 3060 Ti or if your budget can handle it a 3080 12Gb) and spend some money on good fans or maybe water cooling (Hybrid cards) since the 3000 series are notoriously hot at load. Everything else is secondary or supports the above. Lastly if you can, get a fast boot drive (stay away from mech hard drives) and use a water cooling kit for your cpu so that heat is no longer in the case competing with the heat from that powerful graphics card you just bought ... !

You have to take into account that you can't combine any GPU with any CPU in any motherboard, talking about PC according to budget doesn't solve anything, it's obvious that if this is cheap I'll get something low end but nobody explains what possibilities you'll have when working, if the PC is enough or minimum that in a year you can already be sorry, it is understood that blender accepts low end equipment but nobody says that maybe you only do simple renders, just lines or simple polygons, it's like telling a F1 racer that if he buys a Corsa he can still race, it's not true but tell him that you can race and then you put a nitro in the engine but they won't tell you if you can really go over 200 k/h for more than 10 seconds without the engine exploding.

@@pieralessi7426 I am giving actual facts so instead of appreciating the data I shared. you give opinions and statement beyond the scope of my post. Sounds like the politics we are witnessing today. OK you may be smart but we don't know because you are not contributing anything useful as I have clearly detailed through years of experience and building systems. Did you want my post to go longer to talk about PCI & chipset lanes or socket types or about how to size power supplies. Issues with company brands or how Blender can be used, etc...? I would have to start writing a book, I was trying to keep it simple.

@@clausbohm9807 Unless you're in rendered view, which most of the time you're not, viewport performance is mostly on the CPU. Core clock speed is the most important factor here for good viewport performance, especially if you're animating. Not sure what you mean by "competing with the heat" from the GPU. As long as your case fans are decent, a good air cooler will move the heat out just as well as an AIO. Lastly, the 12gb on the 3060 non Ti would most likely be far more valuable to a blender user than the slightly faster render time of the Ti and its measly 8gb.

Great Video. Your audio does have a lot of noise most likely a tabletop fan / air conditioning / pc fans) so i would recommend use a level threshold or a nosie reduction plugin
