3D Max is a 3D graphics application that uses most of the computer's resources. Such exactingness is associated with the peculiarity of constructing three-dimensional images in modern systems and the difficulties of calculating graphic models. For comfortable work in the program, you must choose the most productive laptop or computer.
Official system requirements
3D Max developer Autodesk has published the minimum system requirements for the program to run on laptops and computers. Official information is presented on the company's website.
To successfully install and run 3D Max 2014, you need to have Windows 7 or Windows 8 as your primary system on your computer. The processor must have a 64-bit architecture, while the power of the core affects the speed of rendering and rendering. 4 GB of RAM is the minimum requirement, however, the developer recommends 8 GB of RAM for more or less comfortable work. A 4.5 GB hard drive must be available for installation. It is also advisable to update the browser installed on the system to the latest version.
Laptop selection
The choice of a laptop should be made in accordance with three key characteristics that are critical to the launch of the program. First of all, you need to pay attention to the video card and its power - the more productive the graphics system, the smoother the construction of images will be and the more graphic objects can be displayed. Graphics performance affects the comfort level when working with the program. It is desirable that the amount of graphics video memory in the laptop is at least 1 GB. To run 3D Max, you will need a discrete graphics card from Nvidia or Radeon as newer models as possible.
The second important characteristic for running 3D Max is the central processor, the number of cores in which must be at least 4 to work with rendering. It is advisable to use the latest processors from Intel (Core i7) and AMD (FX-9590 and above). The higher the clock speed and the more cores in the stone, the better it will cope with processing computational operations and building complex graphical objects.
The third important characteristic is the amount of RAM, the amount of which determines the volume of the loaded scene. The larger the object, the more data is required to be stored in RAM. It is desirable that the amount of RAM is not less than 8 GB, however, when building complex objects, a laptop with 16 GB may be required.
Price
It is worth noting that the cost of a laptop that can function in 3D Max will be at least 40,000 rubles. Only the most expensive models are able to provide optimal performance in the program. If you are using 3D Max for educational or hobby purposes, you can purchase a laptop that meets the manufacturer's minimum requirements. In this case, the final cost of the device will be approximately 25,000 rubles.
