… and decided to purchase a PC. Following advice from @DaveR and @liamk887 going with this one. Had to go for a slighter better GPU as well as the standard 2080TI was out of stock until November. Hope this one is ok. Just need to sell the iMac now. Mike [image]

Ahh too bad, but the lucky thing is that its all covered and they should take care of it pretty speedy for you. If you had built it yourself you would have had to fix it yourself or go to a repair shop. Its hard to diagnose these issues without having it myself, I did have a problem with my first o…

Messing with the Bios is something I never want to have to do, as I’d be afraid of REALLY messing it up. I’m looking at End of September to get it back due to being away for a week from the 10th, BUT also because they are changing the GPU for the new 3080, which doesn’t become available until the 1…

Excellent move that was my advice from the start! I would be upgrading myself but ive borrowed a RTX6000 GPU from work thats quite powerful but will get the 3090 closer to Christmas.

Hi Liam Had a long hard think over the weekend, and decided to stick with the 2080TI, based on my approach over the years to never go with Brand New technology immediately when launched. I’ve avoided issues with Apple products over the years using that approach. I can always upgrade next year aft…

Hi @MikeWayzovski I must be having a slow day, as I don’t get that :slight_smile: Mike

I would say it’s ok, GPUs are on a shorts cycle with the next gen probably in 24 Months. My last work card was purchased just two years ago when it was brand new for £6000 now it’s outdated completely for a card that costs one third of the price!

I would wait for the 3080 butMif anything fails it’ll be twinmotion… that software is a the most unstable thing out. Hopefully someone at Trimble has a 3080 and confirms SU is okay (i dont see how it wouldn’t be). Nvidia drivers come out every few days and lately the issues are corrected quickly a…

For performance vs price, Something in the nvidia rtx2070 Super range. The EVGA brand are a good choice and some of their models (“ultra”) have the mode where the fans shut down if not needed, giving you a bit of peace and quiet. Gaming cards do get loud and you will need to consider if you have s…

Finally took the plunge
