Great info. Wow that’s a monster! 😉 I’m considering building a long overdue replacement for my outdated C4DR14 homebuilt hardware.

Last computer was a maxed out Intel motherboard with 32 bit OS (and you know what that means for RAM…). Anyone know of Intel alternatives to Asus P9X79 Pro or is that the one to get? I like to stay Intel when I can.

best,

PS Michael, is your GTX580 really 3Gb or 1.5? If so, where did you find it (this series appears to be no longer available new but seems to be the sweet spot price/performance for C4D and Blender. I understand that C4D does not use GPU rendering, but Blender does and 580 works well, only the issue of limited memory.
