Hi,
This bad boy arrived yesterday!
I bought this as a desktop replacement to do my freelance CGI work as I am a professional VFX artist; cost just under £3K altogether.
The intention was to have a computer I can use as my main workstation that is also portable enough to fit in a backpack and travel with me.
With this I have options on where to work, without compromising on power too much.
Needed as much power as I could get as the software I use really pushes processors, graphics cards, RAM and hard drives to the limit.
So far all of my tests have been great, it runs at comparable smoothness to the high end desktop I have at work, on all of the software I have tried, like Maya, Z-Brush, Mari, After Effects, Photoshop and Substance.
Temperatures seem ok after some stress tests. Using it with a cooling pad, and got the Core Temp utility tool to monitor it.
Cores run at about 42C for casual browsing and get up to 80C+ when pushing the software or heavy gaming.
I heard that the RTX 20 series cards also run cooler than GTX 10 series.
Need to buy portable monitor(s) next to increase screen space.
I like gaming too, but new to PC gaming.
Got the bundled Battlefield V downloaded and waiting for Anthem next week.
As you'd expect, gaming is super smooth with this setup.
