My previous rig had a Xeon 4112 and wx7100. It was good for your basic 3 axis parts, but once I started working on more complex multiaxis parts it just fell too short.
Ah, I misunderstood. We debated on amount of RAM for a long time. We went with a 2x32gb setup for now so we can expand in the future if we decide it is necessary.
I only needed enough space for mastercam, camplete, and a couple other small programs. Everything else we have is stored on our shops servers. And, we had this SSD just laying around already.
I knew it was a good time when it happened, but I am not sure where it stacks up overall.
My shop was willing to pull the trigger on a new PC for me back in December, but we opted to wait until the 11th Gen Intel CPUs were released and I must say, I am not disappointed so far. I ran the Mastercam Benchmark 3.0 file and got a time of 2:26. In comparison, my old PC did the benchmark file in 4:58, so significant improvement. New build as followed:
CPU - Intel i7-11700K
Mobo - Asus ROG Maximus XIII HERO
RAM - G-Skills Ripjaws 64GB DDR4-3200
SSD - Samsung 980 Pro 250gb M.2 NVME
GPU - PNY Quadro RTX4000
Came here to say this.
VPN is definitely the way to go though, tried the remote log in, biggest issue for me is I wasnt able to use my 3D mouse over remote login.
