Hello everyone, so i am learning to use sketchup and the goal is to use it with vray for rendering. My work field is interior decor and design.
My laptop is driving me crazy, right now i have a old dell latitude E6440 and i was looking for a desktop that can manage both sketch up and vray without shutting down.
So i was looking in stores here in Portugal, and after reading many discussions here, i am interest in these desktops:
option 1
Technical characteristics
1 USB 3.0 | 2 USB 2.0 | HD Audio
Intel Core i7 13700KF
Intel Core i7
13th Generation
2,5Ghz Efficient/3.4Ghz Perfomance, turbo a 4.2Ghz Efficient/ 5,3Ghz perfomance 30
Hexadeca Core
RAM memory 32 gb
1 TB SSD
graphic card NVIDIA RTX 4060TI 8GB OC
Chassis: SPCC 1.2 mm black | Form factor: ATX | 6 ARGB fans | Tempered glass: front and side 4mm
option 2
AMD Ryzen 9
1 TB
32 GB
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB
What do you think? option 1 or 2? off course, none of the above, is a fair answer too!
Intel 13700 is a little faster than the ryzen 9 7900.
But the HP Omen is from a reputable supplier with better after-sales support.
If you wish for more performance then the graphics card is the item to upgrade…4700 or 4700ti.
With rendering you will find that the cooling capacity of the PC has a large effect on noise, reliability, Power use, and performance.
For a different option i made this pc configuation from a portgual website…it seems like a specialist company that knows their stuff. Maybe try calling them for advice and assistance.
This specification is higher tham the ones you posted.

I really appreciate the time you took to give me such a complete answer! I already knew the site but as I didn’t know how to choose the pieces I didn’t even take the risk, so I can say what a great help it gave me! I’m already in contact with the company to find out about the assistance! Thanks!!!
No problem. I didnt put a huge amount of time into selecting items, but the CPU, and graphics card are the most important.
Graphics card is definitely #1!!!
For example a 4700ti has 36% more power then a 4600ti.
Thats a very noticeable different in performance! Meaning your hardware will last a long time before it needs upgrading in future.
off course, none of the above, is a fair answer too!
