I have a computer with the following specs:
Intell(R) Core™ i7 - 2600 CPU @ 3.40 Ghz 3401, 4 Cores, 8 logical processors
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti
12 gb ram
I have attempted to create projects from Infiltrator and Showdown demos and have been unable to get past 95% before it maxes out my cpu and ram usage.
What size system would I have to have in order to comfortably work with those demos and related/similar projects?
Hey Graphics4Life,
Your specs are all pretty solid, aside from your GPU. A GTX 770 or 9 series card will handle these scenes and projects pretty well. I just recently upgraded my GTX 650 Ti to a GTX 960, and see a huge difference in performance. Your RAM could also be improved to 16 GB or even 32 if you are feeling crazy! 
Cheers,
Thanks for the reply. I’m looking at upgrading too but researching how far I will go with it. As far as graphic cards go I would imagine that that just because one works well for 4k gaming doesn’t mean that it is optimum for heavy game developing. There are a lot of similar cards out there but what specs should I be looking for that will help most with this type of work? Within the 900 series, Titan X, etc? Two better than one, etc?
