Armari Magnetar workstations have superior processors that can deliver outstanding performance for 3D modeling. You can choose between the most recent Intel Core i9 or AMD Ryzen processors, depending on your preference and budget.
Both options have a high core count (up to 64 cores) and can turbo boost their way to a clock speed (up to 5 GHz) that can handle multiple tasks simultaneously and efficiently. For example, the Intel Core i9-11900K has 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base frequency of 3.5 GHz and a boost frequency of 5.3 GHz.
The AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 3990X in our Armari Magnetar M64TPRW1300G3 and X64T-G3 FWL workstations has 64 cores and 128 threads, with a base frequency of 2.9 GHz and a maximum clock speed in turbo boost of up to 4.3 GHz.
The Intel Core i7-9700K (8 cores, 4.9 GHz boost) and the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (8 cores, 4.4 GHz boost) are no match for these processors in terms of speed and multitasking ability.
Our selection of graphics cards is also a major strength that allows us to outperform the competition when it comes to 3D modeling easily. Obviously, it affects how well your software can render and manipulate intricate 3D models on the screen.
Some budget PCs may have good graphics cards for gaming or casual use, but they might not be able to handle advanced features like ray tracing or high-resolution textures that are needed for 3D modeling.
Here’s where we shine. Armari Magnetar workstations for 3D rendering are adorned with some of the most powerful graphics cards on earth. Graphics cards that are so powerful, they can render high-quality graphics with realistic lighting and shadows in no time.
You can choose between different NVIDIA GTX and AMD Radeon graphics cards, depending on your preference and budget.
They can process complex, high-resolution models without slowing down or crashing thanks to their high memory and data transfer rates (up to 24 GB and 936 GB/s, respectively).
For example, the PNY NVIDIA RTX A6000 has 10,752 CUDA cores and 48 GB of GDDR6 memory with a bandwidth of 768 GB/s. It can also consume power up to 300 watts.
The AMD Radeon Pro WX 8200, on the other hand, has 3,584 stream processors and 8 GB of HBM2 memory with a bandwidth of 512 GB/s. These graphics cards can easily outperform other PC graphics cards like the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (1,280 CUDA cores, 6 GB of GDDR5 memory) or the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 (3,584 stream processors, 8 GB of HBM2 memory) in graphics quality and performance.
By now, you already know your computer’s memory determines how much data your software can store and access quickly. While some PCs may have enough memory for basic tasks, they may not be able to handle large and complex 3D models that require more memory.
Armari Magnetar workstations have more RAM to prevent data corruption and improve rendering performance and quality.
You can choose between ECC DDR4 memory modules depending on your preference and budget. ECC stands for error-correcting code, which means that the memory can detect and correct errors that may occur during data transfer.
DDR4 stands for “double data rate 4,” which means that the memory can transfer data at twice the speed of DDR3.
With either option, you get high capacity (up to 256 GB) and frequency (up to 3600 MHz) that can handle multiple tasks simultaneously and efficiently. For example, the Corsair V.LPX DDR4-3600 C18 has two 32GB DIMM modules for a 64 GB total. Our Magnetar 4UR64TP Threadripper Pro 4U Rackmount Workstation packs it even larger, with up to 2TB of DDR4 server-grade ECC registered memory.
PC memory modules like the Crucial Ballistix Sport LT (8 GB DDR4, 2666 MHz) and the Kingston HyperX Fury (16 GB DDR4, 2400 MHz) will be no match for these memory sticks.
When it comes to storing 3D models, we absolutely crushed the competition. It’s not just about how much space you can get; it also determines how fast your software can load and save your 3D models and projects.
While some PCs may have enough storage for basic tasks, they may not be able to support fast loading times and file management, that are crucial for 3D modeling.
Armari Magnetar workstations have fast and reliable storage that can reduce loading times and store large files easily. You can choose between our SSD or HDD storage options, according to your preference and budget.
While you can get high capacity for both options (up to 16 TB), SSDs have much faster read and write speeds (up to 7 GB/s) than HDDs (up to 250 MB/s). We have the option for Samsung 980 Pro SSD, which has a capacity of 1 TB, a read speed of 7 GB/s, and a write speed of 5 GB/s.
Also, our Armari Magnetar M64TPRW1300G3 workstation features 2 x 2 TB Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus NVMe M.2 SSDs with a speed of up to 7.1 GB/s (read) and 6.6 GB/s (write) when you pair it with a PCIe Gen4 motherboard.
With these storage options from us, PC storage options such as the Kingston A400 SSD (480 GB, up to 500 MB/s read/write) stand no chance when it comes to speed and capacity.
One of the advantages of Armari Magnetar workstations is that we’ll also allow you to choose a combination of both SSDs and HDDs for your storage needs.
You can use an SSD as your main work drive for faster loading times and performance and an HDD as your backup drive for larger storage capacity and reliability. This way, you can enjoy the best of both worlds without compromising on speed or space.
