How to Build a PC for Blender 3D - Low, Mid, and High Tier 

Exactly the info I needed. Thanks for a great video and being straight to the point!

Excellent video sir! I actually JUST finished my 3D build last weekend. Went with a Ryzen 5900x with an RTX 3080 12gb model. I personally chose Western Digital blue m.2 2TB model for OS and some project storage, and a cheaper more budget friendly 1TB Crucial P2 series m.2. If you're tight on cash and want an m.2, Crucial P series is the way to go. Went with just a modest Be Quiet air cooler. Highest temps I've seen were in the mid 70's, nothing to too alarming. The 3080 is just a dream! I really wanted the 3090 but just couldn't justify shelling out the extra thousand dollars. General rule of thumb I heard though, is that no matter your budget,if your build is GPU centric, make sure half of your entire PC budget goes towards the GPU.

This video should be a default thing every year for a new version of blender 💯 not just because micro center is sponsoring‼️

Thanks for the 3D PC build info 🙌🏻

Thanks for this; your tutorials are most excellent. I’m building a computer specifically for blender modeling/sculpting to 3-D printing. If you take large scenes and animation rendering out from a workflow you can build a great system on a tight budget.

Super useful video, thank you so much!!

Extremely useful video. Thank you !!!

very informative! looking forward to one on laptops

This was amazing! Thank you!

super helpful video. thank you!

Thanks for this! You helped me so much on my first PC build. I went for a Ryzen 7 7700x and an MSI RTX 4070 Ventus 3x 12G OC with 32G of RAM. So far I've been able to do some crazy scenes since I'm looking to do experimental stuff that kinda pushes blender and my viewport is rarely lagging and renders are pretty impressively fast. Though that doesn't always stop blender from crashing lol. Big upgrade coming from my MacBook that couldn't even render the default cube in cycles. Plus it's running games really well too, so it's not just for productivity. Also I went to the Micro Center near me for the first time and damn, that place is insane!

Thank you for this!

This is incredibly helpful

Great . I found the right one I was looking for.

Excellent video. Thank you!!! ~new sub 🙂

Excellent tutorial

on the point of hybrid rendering I used to use the hybrid rendering for a long time and I found out that my pc used my processor (80-100% usage) the most while my gpu was at 50-70% usage and this is a disadvantage since the gpu has more cores and is better at rendering than the cpu so using gpu compute in blender is better.

THANK YOU, BRAVO

Maybe a mis-edit at 23:32? I think you meant to remove that section up to 24:09? Seems like repeat info, and the second half is more helpful methinks.

8 month before when I was learning from cgcookie's Instrutrial environment course , my laptop wasn't able to render even a single frame which has no texture with 8 gigs ram, 4gb gtx 1650 and cpu i5 10300H with 4 core with max 4.5 GHz ,I bought a 16 gigs ram and after putting in the laptop , i wanted to test performance change ,so i open that scene and rendered it ,I found out the scene was taking 23 gigs ram to load ,after that I was able to render the other scene on which I was previously working which was not open after few days

exactly what im looking for, great video, cuse i have no idea what im dealing with, and i really scare that the tech company just trying to sell me thing that is way too expensive parts that maybe not what i need.

So CPU - Viewport performance and Cache for baking and simulations GPU - Rendering RAM - Overall Performance Correct?

motherboards dont usually support both ddr4 and ddr5. I think there is one coming out soon but I wouldnt waste time trying to find one.

Finally!

Can you tell me if I use CPU configuration I5 12400 vs GPU 2060, is it considered low or medium level in blender????thank

In my case, GTX 1060 3GB works really unstable and slower than cpu in terms of render, so I use my cpu - Ryzen 3600 (I tried all render options: Optix, Cuda, Opengl) Friend of mine also has the same PC specs and he also has the same situation.

Very nice....

@3:26 seconds you misspoke about AMD having ryzen 3000 5000 exc. to represent the tier. The number in thousands represents the generation. Ryzen 3, 5, 6, 7 etc. are the tier

do you know roughly how much better a 2000 series would be over a 1000 one for nvidia gpu's?

1:45 to 3:30 isnt correct if a cpu has more cores that dosent mean that they are weaker... for example the i9 13900k has 7 percent higher single core performance than the i5 13600k while having more cores and being in the same processor generation

If you are rendering professional grade scenes use cpu or xpu (cpu and gpu). Not many professional studios are using just gpu rendering. You can youtube the reasons why. Good video looking for mid level build for nephew

I have RX 6600 but when i render blender doesn't fully utilise it I set my render settings to HIP and tried selecting the GPU only for the rendering but it's not as fast as it should be to be honest any help would be appreciated My Specs: 16 GB 3200 MHz Ram i5 9600k RX 6600

HI, i already have a 3070, is a god choice get a ryzen 5 7600? the price is in my wallet plus i want the socket am5 for future upgrades .

FYI: I found that its not good to mix generations of gpu, my 1080ti hybrid is actually slowing down the rendering when paired with my ASUS 3090 TUF. I am now in the process of replacing the 1080 with the EVGA 3090Ti Hybrid for a dual 3000 series gpu rendering power house. I expect to get 15 second per frame of 100 frames of the Blender demo "gooseberry" file (currently at 32 seconds/frame) when the rebuild is finished. Also for those that fear high temps and wattage, I undervolted the TUF down to 265W and will try to undervolt the 3090Ti to 375W when I get it. This will allow me to keep my 1000W PS as long as I don't do any heavy CPU work at the same time. Lowered the temps on the TUF by 9c by the undervolting. Lost only about 8% render time but will more then makes up when the second card comes in. Fast, quiet and cool! Also note that the 18 cores of my water cooled i9-7980xe helps to speed up the loading of the file before rendering, compared to my 8 core laptop. Finally for better flow through my Phantek Pro M case, check out the T30 case fans from Phantek as well, I will use those to help push the air through the case to cool the backplate of the TUF.

ive been using a i7 8700 + 32 gb with no GPU just the integrated uhd630, for the last 5 years... i surf alot and use illustrator alot for these two purposes its perfect... even after effects and premiere was ok for basic stuff...i dont game alot so most games even was playable at very low settings and resolution... a year ago i started blender and i really want a gpu ... rendering time is killing me... im looking into getting a cheap 3070 mini for 200 bucks now... i hope this will solve my problem also ... new build will def have 128gb ddr5 ram / 16th gen intel / and a rtx 5090 :D:D im already saving money LOL

Which video card would you all recommend I upgrade to with my system? RTX 2070 8gb ARMOR Ryzen 9 3900X 3.8 GHz 12-core MSI MPG X570 Gaming Edge motherboard 64gb RAM Ddr4 Windows 11

wait you could go to best buy and ask them to put together your pc parts???

Been working on flip fluids... Made a generally speaking small scene, played around and decided to bake it up at 400 res... My i9 10850k and 3090 are about to give me a hell. It's 2nd hour baking and it says another 5 hours, LOL... If the result does not worth it I'll go KMS.

Doesn’t matter what you have.. grass will bring it down to its knees. 3-7 Hours of render for 20 seconds. Rtx 3090ti

Thoughts on a gigabyte rtx 4070 v2 windforce or eagle windforce

thanks for this.. I want to start the blender And My CPU is Ryzen 3100 4-core And I have 16 GB of RAM What graphics card do you recommend for this system? Is 1650 suitable? Due to the weak CPU and motherboard Is it reasonable to buy a stronger graphics like 2060?

this pc suits obly for modeling in Blender, nothing more

minor correction, you can't a motherboard that support both ddr4 and ddr5, so you need to choose when you build your computer

Is the rtx 3070ti 8gb good or 3060 12gb ???

What? More cores mean weaker?

DDR4 RAM is not compatible with DDR5 motherboards

There are amd cards that support Ray tracing.

very weird advice for gpu i guess i should make my own blender pc video

New blender users please stay away from ANY AMD GPUs for content creation and specially blender. Besides the performance being terrible compared to NVIDIA, AMD does not even support features such as raytracing and will drop support for hardware whenever it feels like. Buy NVIDIA , besides their hardware being way faster, their software support is WAY better.

Bro r u teaching us how to use a website..?¿

Wish I had this when I was buying my PC

i feel like this video could have been 3 minutes tops

You keep mentioning 3.6 Ghz isnt very fast but that is only the stock speed and not boost. Bit missleading. And you cannot have ddr4 and ddr5 on the same board like that. You are mixing way too many things.

4090 ti founders edition when?

I got of the hand R7 3800x RTX 3080 🎉🎉🎉

Tell, never show

It's just pain to see you choosing the rtx 2060 and not the rtx 3060 wich was cheaper in the video and has more performance...

Do a pc of 500 USD will work?

I am getting a 5950x, rtx 3090, 128gb of ram, and 8tb m.2 components for Blender just for high quality and performance

The only problem is, there's no money to do all this and buy a GPU...

buy part build pc? or use what you allready have and install blender 2. now your blender run faster than back them xD

The main thing is to run linux!

I thought this is a tutorial to make a pc in blender lol

yep, no such thing as a "cheap workstation"

never heard of nvme2.... also DDR4 motherboards clearly don't support DDR5 so I don't see how one buys a motherboard with the intention of upgrading RAM to a different generation also not sure about recommending a 2060 in 2022 overall a lacking, obsolete and ignorant video

Stop going for the default route just 'because that's how it used to be' with Intel. It isn't the early 2000s anymore. AMD is far better.

CPU rendering is by thread I thought not by core

Ok didn’t need it
