About KeyShot
KeyShot stands apart for its real-time ray tracing and global illumination engine, allowing users to instantly visualize materials, lighting, and camera changes without long pre-render times. Its keyframe-less animation system, GPU-accelerated denoising, and CPU/GPU hybrid rendering modes give artists the flexibility to optimize for both performance and quality.
Whether you're rendering detailed product prototypes, automotive paint finishes, or photorealistic materials, hardware configuration directly impacts render speed and workflow smoothness.
Recommended CPU for KeyShot
KeyShot has traditionally been a CPU-based renderer, and it continues to perform exceptionally well with high-core-count processors. The rendering engine scales linearly with core count, meaning that doubling your cores nearly halves render time.
Recommended:
- AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9975WX / 9995WX ideal for high-end CPU rendering, offering up to 96 cores.
- Intel Xeon 6 Series excellent for workstation environments with ECC memory support.
- AMD Ryzen 9 9950X / Intel Core Ultra 9 285K great balance of single-core speed and multi-core rendering performance for small to mid-sized projects.
Tip: Cooling is critical choose liquid cooling or high-performance air cooling to sustain boost clocks during long render sessions.
GPU (Graphics)
Since KeyShot 9, GPU rendering has become an important part of the software. Using NVIDIA RTX GPUs with CUDA cores and OptiX ray tracing acceleration, GPU mode can render scenes up to 410ื faster than CPU mode provided your GPU has sufficient VRAM.
Recommended:
- NVIDIA RTX 5070 / 5080 / 5090 excellent for GPU rendering with CUDA and OptiX acceleration.
- NVIDIA RTX 4500 / 5000 / 6000 professional workstation cards for certified performance, large VRAM, and stability.
Minimum: 8GB of VRAM (KeyShot GPU mode requires CUDA Compute Capability 6.0 or higher).
Tip: For complex materials, high-resolution textures, or animations, 1624GB of VRAM is strongly recommended.
Memory (RAM)
KeyShot performance benefits significantly from ample system memory, especially when working with large scenes, HDR environments, and multiple material layers.
Recommended:
- 32GB DDR5 for small and mid-sized product renders.
- 64GB128GB for large assemblies, animations, and professional studio environments.
ECC memory is recommended for mission-critical workloads or long unattended render sessions.
Tip: When in doubt, prioritize RAM once the system starts swapping to disk, render times increase dramatically.
Storage
High-speed storage helps KeyShot load models, textures, and HDR environments faster.
Recommended:
- Primary Drive: 1TB NVMe Gen 4 SSD for OS and KeyShot.
- Secondary Drive: 2TB+ NVMe SSD for active projects, cache, and texture libraries.
Optional: Large HDD or NAS for archiving renders and scene data.
Tip: Avoid external USB drives for active rendering projects NVMe drives drastically reduce file loading times.
Titan Computers Recommendation
For KeyShot users, Titan recommends the following workstation builds:
Titan A790 ideal for hybrid CPU/GPU rendering; supports Threadripper PRO CPUs and multiple RTX GPUs.
Titan W6-D dual Xeon workstation for large-scale CPU rendering and 24/7 reliability.
Titan W6 balanced single-CPU workstation for designers needing real-time feedback and fast turnaround.
Each Titan workstation is engineered for maximum stability, cooling efficiency, and render performance, and includes lifetime labor and technical support to keep your creative workflow running flawlessly.
