Professional V-Ray / 3ds Max Studio Workstation

Professional V-Ray Studio Workstation – Built in the UK

The Professional V-Ray / 3ds Max Studio Workstation is a high-end professional V-Ray studio workstation for GPU rendering and real-time visualisation in 3ds Max, Lumion and Enscape.

This professional V-Ray studio workstation is built for design studios and production teams working with large scenes, high-resolution assets and GPU-accelerated rendering pipelines. It pairs the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X processor with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 and its 32GB of GDDR7 memory. Large V-Ray, Lumion and Enscape scenes have room to work in, and viewport work stays responsive alongside final renders. It is designed for architectural visualisation, product and industrial rendering, and studio 3D production where graphics memory and GPU compute are the main limits.

In its default build, the Professional V-Ray / 3ds Max Studio Workstation uses an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X processor with 16 cores and 32 threads, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 with 32GB of GDDR7 memory and 128GB of Crucial DDR5 5600MHz memory. Storage is a 1TB WD Black SN7100 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD for Windows and applications plus a 4TB Crucial T710 PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD, all on an ASUS ProArt X870E-Creator WiFi motherboard. It comes with genuine, pre-installed Microsoft Windows 11 Professional and a 3-year parts and labour warranty.

Ryzen 9 9950X processor for modelling and rendering

The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X has 16 cores and 32 threads on the AM5 platform, with a 4.3GHz base clock, a 5.7GHz maximum turbo and 64MB of L3 cache. The high boost clock supports responsive modelling and viewport work in 3ds Max, SketchUp and Rhino. The 16 cores give Chaos Corona, V-Ray CPU rendering and hybrid CPU/GPU workflows plenty of threads to draw on. The processor also includes integrated graphics.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 with 32GB of GDDR7

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 has 21760 cores and 32GB of GDDR7 memory. That capacity lets larger scenes stay fully in GPU memory in V-Ray GPU, D5 Render, Octane Render and Redshift. This reduces the chance of a heavy scene falling back to the CPU part-way through a deadline render. Lumion and Enscape also benefit, because VRAM capacity directly affects how detailed a scene can be and how smoothly it runs. The card provides 3 x DisplayPort 2.1b and 1 x HDMI 2.1b outputs for up to four monitors (layout may vary by card brand).

128GB DDR5 memory and two NVMe SSDs

The 128GB of Crucial DDR5 5600MHz CL46 memory is fitted as 2 x 64GB in dual channel, using two of the four DIMM slots. The board supports up to 256GB. The 1TB WD Black SN7100 (up to 7250MB/s read, 6900MB/s write) holds Windows and your applications. The 4TB Crucial T710 on PCIe 5.0 (up to 14500MB/s read, 13800MB/s write) serves as the working drive for V-Ray caches, Lumion assets, Enscape scene data, textures and large project files. Two further M.2 slots remain free.

Fractal Design Epoch XL case and 360mm liquid cooling

The system is housed in the black Fractal Design Epoch XL full tower, with a tempered glass left panel and a steel right panel. It measures 503mm deep, 240mm wide and 509mm high, and has three pre-installed Momentum 14 fans at the front. The Ryzen 9 9950X is cooled by a be quiet! Silent Loop 3 360mm all-in-one liquid cooler, which suits long rendering sessions. A Corsair RM1200e 1200W 80 Plus Gold fully modular ATX 3.1 power supply sits alongside the 575W RTX 5090.

Connectivity from the ASUS ProArt X870E-Creator WiFi

The AMD X870E chipset board provides generous I/O for studio use. The rear panel has 2 x USB4 Type-C, 1 x Type-C 20Gbps, 7 x Type-A 10Gbps and 1 x Type-A USB 2.0. The front panel adds 1 x USB Type-C 20Gbps, 2 x USB Type-A 5Gbps and an audio/microphone combo jack. Networking is Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, plus wired 2.5Gb Ethernet (Intel) and 10Gb Ethernet (Marvell AQtion) for studio network and storage connections. Audio is 7.1 High Definition Audio from a Realtek ALC1220P codec.

What is the Professional V-Ray / 3ds Max Studio Workstation best for?

The Professional V-Ray / 3ds Max Studio Workstation is primarily a GPU rendering and real-time visualisation machine for architectural, interior and product visualisation studios. Its main strength is the RTX 5090’s 32GB of GDDR7, which suits scenes that outgrow smaller graphics cards. The Ryzen 9 9950X’s 16 cores keep modelling and CPU-side rendering moving. It is a single-GPU desktop workstation, not a multi-GPU or render-farm system.

Typical work includes V-Ray GPU and hybrid renders of large architectural scenes, Chaos Corona interiors and Lumion or Enscape walkthroughs for client presentations. It also handles D5 Render scenes and Octane Render or Redshift production work. The same machine covers the modelling side in 3ds Max, SketchUp, Rhino, Cinema 4D and Blender, and suits Unreal Engine 5 architectural visualisation projects.

Where does the Professional V-Ray / 3ds Max Studio Workstation sit in the range?

The Professional V-Ray / 3ds Max Workstation with Ryzen 9 9900X and RTX 5080 sits below this system, with a 12 core processor, 16GB of graphics memory and 64GB of DDR5 6000MHz memory. This Studio Workstation steps up to 16 cores, 32GB of VRAM and 128GB of RAM. The High End Photography PC is a lighter option built around an Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus, an RTX 5070 12GB and 64GB of memory. Teams running CPU render farms, multi-GPU accelerator setups or more than 256GB of system RAM should look at the Threadripper Pro workstations instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Professional V-Ray / 3ds Max Studio Workstation run V-Ray GPU, Lumion and Enscape?

Yes, it is specified for exactly this kind of work. V-Ray GPU, D5 Render, Octane Render, Redshift, Lumion and Enscape all lean heavily on the graphics card, and the RTX 5090’s 32GB of GDDR7 gives large scenes room to stay in GPU memory. Chaos Corona and V-Ray CPU rendering use the Ryzen 9 9950X’s 16 cores and 32 threads. 3ds Max, SketchUp, Rhino, Cinema 4D and Blender run on the same machine.

Is 128GB of RAM enough for large 3ds Max and V-Ray scenes?

For most studio workflows, yes. 128GB gives substantial headroom for large architectural scenes, high-resolution asset libraries and layered V-Ray setups. It also lets you keep 3ds Max, Lumion, Photoshop and other tools open together. Two of the four DIMM slots are used and the platform supports up to 256GB if your scenes grow.

Should I choose this or a Threadripper Pro workstation for V-Ray?

Choose this system if your main limits are GPU memory and GPU compute, and you want responsive interactive work with GPU-led rendering. Threadripper Pro systems become more relevant for CPU render farms, multi-GPU configurations or workflows needing more than the 256GB of RAM this platform supports.

Can I upgrade the Professional V-Ray / 3ds Max Studio Workstation later?

Yes. There are two free M.2 slots, four SATA 6Gb/s ports (none used) and case mounts for 2 x 3.5in and 2 x 2.5in drives. Beyond the graphics card slot there is also 1 x PCIe 5.0 x16 and 1 x PCIe 4.0 x16 (running at x4) for capture, networking or other add-in cards. Memory can grow to 256GB.
