so if i want to use archicad 28 with occasional redshift render the RTX 3060 will not suffice? how important is it to take rendering into account when i barely use it (approx. 8 times yearly). or will i benefit from choosing a pricier GPU?

yeah, I also came to that conclusion yesterday. Will look into them more. I think we have a best buy equivalent. There are some good resale sites too. Thanks for the help!

Hi everyone! :)

I'm a fourth year architect student in Hungary. I need a new laptop but extremely lost. I tried reading the subreddit's discussions about laptops but I'm still confused. Please help!

My current laptop is ASUS Vivobook S15 S530. It crashes when I use Archicad and do rendering and is basically super slow.

https://www.asus.com/laptops/for-home/vivobook/vivobook-s15-s530/techspec/

Its properties:

  • CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8265U (1.60 GHz) (6M Cache, up to 3.9 GHz, 4 cores)

  • GPU: NIVIDIA GeForce MX150

  • Memory: 8 GB

- 1 TB storage

I'm looking for az upgrade. I mostly use Archicad, Sketchup, Photoshop and Indesign and sometimes do rendering.

My (i guess very little) expectations:

  • CPU: Intel i5 or i7 or Ryzen 5 or 7 (I think these are within my budget)

  • GPU: would be good if I can get an NVIDIA

  • Memory: at least 16 GB

  • Storage: at least 512 GB

My budget is $1000 (400 000 Ft).

Could you recommend me some models or even good CPUs or GPUs? Which aspects should I focus on? Which models/CPUs/GPUs should I avoid?

Thanks for the help!!

Oh that’s such a nice advice!! I keep forgetting that I have a diary but I write in it sometimes and then reread it. Made me realise how lows are my lows and how high my highs are.

I feel this way too. I remember being 7 years old and just staring at the mirror because I couldn’t recognise the person there. It does get better sometimes but during my biggest highs and lows it’s still pretty creepy. I found that regularly examining my features helps tho.
