Maxwell Render Workstation PC
Maxwell Render is a physically accurate render engine designed for artists and designers who demand true-to-life results. Known for its unparalleled realism and natural light simulation, Maxwell focuses on replicating the behavior of real-world light and materials, making it an exceptional choice for visualization professionals in architecture, design, and visual effects.

Recommended Titan Workstations for Maxwell Render
To get the most out of Maxwell, you’ll need a workstation optimized for both CPU and GPU rendering performance, along with ample memory and fast storage. While the software remains primarily CPU-based, recent versions have introduced GPU acceleration using NVIDIA CUDA technology, giving users flexibility depending on their preferred workflow.
Let’s take a closer look at the ideal configuration for Maxwell Render.
CPU – Core Count and Frequency Both Matter
Maxwell’s core strength has traditionally been CPU rendering. The engine scales exceptionally well across multiple cores and threads — the more CPU cores available, the faster your renders complete.
For CPU-only workflows, we recommend AMD Threadripper PRO or Intel Xeon W-series processors with high core counts. These platforms can host 24, 32, or even 64 cores per CPU, drastically reducing render times for complex scenes.
If your workflow involves both modeling and rendering on the same system, Intel Core Ultra 9 or AMD Ryzen 9 processors provide an excellent balance of high clock speeds and strong single-threaded performance, while still offering many cores for rendering workloads.
GPU – Power for Hybrid and GPU Rendering
While CPU rendering remains Maxwell’s backbone, the Maxwell GPU engine can leverage NVIDIA RTX graphics cards to dramatically accelerate rendering times when supported.
For users enabling GPU rendering, we recommend NVIDIA RTX professional GPUs such as the RTX 4000 Ada, RTX 5000 Ada, or RTX 6000 Ada. These cards combine large amounts of VRAM with CUDA and OptiX cores optimized for ray tracing. For smaller studios or artists on a budget, a GeForce RTX 4080 Super or RTX 4090 offers exceptional performance at a lower cost, although professional certification may be preferred in production environments.
Memory (RAM) – Keep Your Scenes Flowing
Rendering high-resolution images or animations with complex textures, geometry, and lighting setups demands large amounts of system memory. We recommend a minimum of 32GB of RAM, with 64GB or 128GB ideal for professional workloads.
Maxwell also benefits from having ample RAM headroom to accommodate large textures and multiple light layers (especially when using the MultiLight feature).
Storage – Speed Up Loading and Caching
A fast NVMe SSD ensures quick access to assets and smoother workflow performance.
We recommend:
Primary Drive: 1TB NVMe SSD for your OS, Maxwell, and essential tools.
Secondary Drive: Additional SSD (2TB or larger) dedicated to active projects, textures, and render caches.
For long-term storage or network-based rendering setups, consider adding large-capacity HDDs or NAS solutions.
Network Rendering – Scale as You Grow
One of Maxwell’s greatest strengths is its network rendering feature, allowing multiple machines to contribute to a single render. Titan can help you build scalable render nodes tailored to your studio’s pipeline, ensuring render times shrink as your production demands grow.
