Hello team
We are starting using Aximmetry in our small broadcast studio for TV Broadcast, Live stream, etc
We will also be doing some Video Ads for products using virtual production sets, etc.
We are willing to buy a PC and someone suggested us the bellow Workstation, so we wanted to know, by your experiences, if the bellow can work based on our workflow:
1. We will use the Aximettry DE version, we will be editing the sets we buy before cooking and using them in Aximmetry
2. We will be using max 3 Cameras (with one of the tracked)
3. We will be sending the output directly to social media (stream) and same time we send output to external monitor or storage devices
Can the bellow work with this or we need to buy an other one?
HP Z4 G4 Tower Workstation |
Processor: Intel Xeon W-2123 3.6 GHz
RAM 64 GB
SSD 512 GB + 3 TERA SATA
Nvidia Quadro P2000
That is a truly horrible suggestion for a workstation to run Aximmetry! Is the person suggesting that system by any chance also selling the system? I’ll break down why the system is bad:
This HP Z4 G4 is a very old system by any standard, at least 7 years old. Get a current system with modern architecture.
The CPU is a low end workstation CPU from 2017! You’ll want a current gen CPU with high single core clock speed.
You will quickly run out of space in a 512 Gb SSD if you’re building multiple UE5 projects on the machine. A 3 terabyte spinning drive belongs in the last decade. Just get a 2 tb or 4 tb M2 drive.
An Nvidia Quadro P2000 is totally underpowered for running Aximmetry and is more suitable for basic office tasks. You’ll need the most powerful GPU you can get to run Aximmetry. Almost everything is calculated on the GPU, so you’ll have a very bad experience with an underpowered GPU. I strongly recommend getting an Nvidia RTX 4090, and definitely nothing below a 4080.
Consider something like this on the low end (I would still recommend upgrading to a 4090):

Or this on the higher end:

Again, the person that recommended you that system for Aximmetry don’t know what they’re talking about.
