New comp for After effect cs6?
Hi
I want to upgrade my after effect cs4 to AE CS6, and with that I want to buy a new computer. With that I have a few questions.
I will mainly be using it for short clips in full HD, and combined with some 3D from Element3D.Computer specs:
CPU: Intel Core i7-4771 4×3.50GHz (Turbo 3.90GHz)
RAM: Kingston 32GB DDR3-1600 HyperX RAM
Grafic card:Asus GeForce GTX650 2GB
HDD: 250GB SSD (Samsung 840 EVO)
HDD: 1TB 7200rpm Seagate
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
How many ram of the 32 can i use with cs6 spread out to the 4 cores?Is the grafic card suitable??
Regards HRB

On my 6 core, I’ve got it spread out to using 4gb per core. And quite frankly, AE will be just fine with 32gb of RAM and a 4 core chip if you insist in using the machine while it’s rendering.

Hey Dave.
Other than AE I will be using the comp for Cinema4d, photoshop and ilustrator. I will also connect it to my synology NAS with 4TB harddrive to use it occassionaly as a media server. If the comp can take it ofcourse. -
The GPU is fine for AE. Only the Ray Tracer components use the GPU. AE will use what ever ram you have available. Definitely get the 32GB.
