Video Editing & 3D Rendering WORKSTATION PC








From Hollywood to indie and amateur projects, computers have become mandatory in film and the visual arts. If you want to be the next Lucasarts or Pixar then not just any computer will do. 3D rendering and video editing taxes the performance of just about every component of a modern computer. While a computer built for video games won’t benefit from more than four cores or features like hyper-threading, your rendering software will eat as many of these as you can throw at it. For this type of work the number of “threads” or tasks the processor can do at the same time is more important than raw speed. Although if you can afford to have both that’s good too.

These days the CPU doesn’t have to render video by itself. Even mid-range modern graphics processors can accelerate video rendering speed and can really smooth things out while editing as well.

Rendering 3D objects and scenery of course requires even more graphics grunt and benefits from higher-end graphics chips. While performance components get the headlines they are not the only consideration for video and 3D rendering. These machines should be quiet, take no more space than needed, look good in the workspace and have components that are reliable. For example, having a middle of the road power supply is OK for gaming sessions that last a few hours at a time. Where the off visual artifact or glitch goes unnoticed. When rendering a 30 or 40 hour job however, these are problems you can’t afford and that’s why these machines are built with a different eye for priorities.

X299 VULCAN - Intel Cascade Lake-X Core i9 All Cores Overclocked / 3D Rendering Workstation Computer X299 VULCAN - Intel Cascade Lake-X Core i9 All Cores Overclocked / 3D Rendering Workstation Computer

In mythology Vulcan was the god of blacksmiths and the forge. In other words, he was the god of technology. We reserve the name “Vulcan” for our own limit-pushing machines that have been tuned to get the most out of their carefully-selected components. The Vulcan 10 brings the latest in 10th-generation Core i9 technology to the mid-tower form-factor. The Vulcan rig is one of our most customized systems yet and performs in a way no stock system with the same components can. If you’re looking for a powerful multi-core workstation for 3D rendering or any thread-hungry workloads, the X299 Vulcan 10 is in a class of its own.




Starting Price: $5,550.00
Titan A499 OCTANE PRO - AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5000 WX Series Workstation PC - up to 64 cores Titan A499 OCTANE PRO - AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5000 WX Series Workstation PC - up to 64 cores

There are plenty of computers out there with “Pro” tacked on to the end of their names, but none like the Titan A499 Octane Pro deliver an equal amount of CPU threads and performance at a price that won’t make you feel like you’re paying for a brand. Like all Titan Workstations, this system is built using top grade internal components to ensure you get the maximum performance out of your processor.
