I need suggestion. If i have a 250GB Solid state drive SSD. With all software and windows 10 installed it and to save i have my normal Hard drive 1TB. I have my machine 8GB RAM ad 2GB Nvidia geforce gt 710. If i a 250GB SSD with all program and Blender install. Will the render takes a speed or no change or average or Nothing. Will the machine get speed or just useless buying it. Plz reply in detail drawback and useful. Thanks
The only difference with regards to rendering would be to load the files into the used memory. Once there your machine will work as you’re used to.
It will most certainly increase your overall user experience. But for rendering you should invest in a new gpu.
Edit: Just realized you wanted to still use a hdd for file storage. Then the above isn’t even applicable. This way only your boot and program loading times will improve. In case of blender this will most certainly not be noticeable.
As a rule of thumb, if I want a computer to “work faster,” I begin by adding RAM to it.
The rationale is this: “RAM is the one thing that can actually keep up with the CPU.” Or, to put it another way, “RAM is the one thing that will slow it down.” If data is instantly-available in RAM, the CPU/GPU can work with it without delay. If there’s a shortage of RAM for the intended purpose, the CPU/GPU is forced to wait upon … mechanical things.
No. It will still be slow.
Different kinds of computing generally stress different components.
For example, with video editing, it mostly stresses the storage, ram and the CPU. Modern video editing apps, such as Final Cut Pro X, use the GPU for decoding and encoding, so the GPU is more important.
In a typical simple 3D project, you are more likely to tax the GPU than other areas. 3D work is quite lopsided and, generally speaking, not so taxing on storage, because 3D data is fairly lightweight, unless you have gigabytes of textures. And even so, these textures would typically be loaded into ram, rather than being streamed from disk, as with video editing.
If you want to speed up your 3D work, it’s generally best to buy a fast GPU with lots of on board ram. Hard disk speed is not useless, but won’t usually dramatically increase rendering speed.
