Made in the U.S.A. with BOXX Warranty
Sales, engineering, manufacturing, and support are all right here in Austin, TX, USA. No other computer company can make that claim. And we support our 3ds Max solutions with a three year limited warranty. No other manufacturer can make that claim either.
The Rendering Authority
BOXX also builds dedicated rendering solutions. We know the professional applications, rendering engines, and queue management software, as well as the hows and whys of building an efficient render farm. If your question is rendering, the only solution is BOXX.
Recommending the Ideal 3ds Max Solution
In terms of performance, selecting the right CPU (and number of processing cores) and GPU for your workstation is critical. 3ds Max is a multi-threaded application (meaning that it predominantly utilizes many processing cores) featuring numerous functions—including rendering. 3ds Max is also GPU centric, taking full advantage of NVIDIA CUDA and Direct X technology, so a workstation with multiple cores and multiple GPUs is ideal.
The rendering functions in 3ds Max are bandwidth bound, meaning they commonly utilize multiple cores simultaneously. In addition, rendering applications are varied in their hardware demands. mental ray relies on CPU performance, so a workstation with more cores can provide faster rendering performance. iray, on the other hand, is GPU bound, so it requires high performance and/or multiple graphics cards. Consult the quick guide below to determine which BOXX solution is right for your 3ds Max workflow.
3ds Max Modeling and Animation
If you’re focused on building wire frame models, setting up scenes, or interactive work, you need the fastest single socket solutions for 3ds Max. Both 3DBOXX 3970 XTREME (4.5 GHz) and 3DBOXX 4920 XTREME (4.5 GHz) workstations feature a performance enhanced six core (or quad core) Intel® Core™ i7 processor.
