V-Ray / 3ds Max Workstation – Ryzen 7 9700X / RTX 5070 Ti

V-Ray Rendering Workstation RTX 5070 Ti – Built in the UK

The V-Ray / 3ds Max Workstation is a built-to-order rendering and visualisation PC for 3ds Max, V-Ray, Lumion and Enscape users, pairing an AMD Ryzen 7 9700X with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and 16GB of GDDR7 graphics memory.

 
This V-Ray rendering workstation RTX 5070 Ti system is designed for freelance visualisation artists, sole practitioners and design professionals who want a dedicated GPU rendering platform without moving up to a full studio build. The 16GB of video memory matches the capacity found on the RTX 5080, so scene size in GPU renderers and real-time visualisation tools is not held back. 64GB of DDR5 memory and a 2TB NVMe SSD keep large projects and several applications open at once. Because the PC is built to order, you can change parts in the configurator and see the estimated lead time when you order.

 
The V-Ray / 3ds Max Workstation is built on an AMD Ryzen 7 9700X (8 cores, 16 threads, up to 5.5GHz) with an ASUS PRIME X870-P WIFI motherboard, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti with 16GB of GDDR7, 64GB of DDR5 6000MHz memory and a 2TB WD Blue SN5100 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. It is air-cooled, powered by an 850W ATX 3.1 power supply and housed in a Fractal Design Epoch Solid Black case. It comes with Microsoft Windows 11 Home (genuine, pre-installed) and a 3-year parts and labour warranty.

Ryzen 7 9700X for scene preparation and CPU rendering

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X has 8 cores and 16 threads, a 3.8GHz base clock, a 5.5GHz maximum turbo and 32MB of L3 cache on the AM5 platform. In GPU-led workflows most of the rendering moves to the graphics card, and the processor handles scene preparation, geometry processing, viewport work in 3ds Max and the CPU side of hybrid rendering. For CPU rendering in V-Ray and Chaos Corona, eight cores give solid multi-threaded performance for the jobs a freelance or small studio typically runs. The processor also includes integrated graphics.

RTX 5070 Ti graphics with 16GB of GDDR7

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti has 8,960 CUDA cores and 16GB of GDDR7 memory. VRAM is usually the limit in V-Ray GPU, Lumion, Enscape, D5 Render and Twinmotion scenes, and this card carries the same 16GB as the RTX 5080. Where the RTX 5070 Ti differs from the RTX 5080 is raw compute throughput, so renders take somewhat longer, but scene complexity is not restricted by memory capacity. The card provides three DisplayPort 2.1b outputs and one HDMI 2.1b output for up to four monitors (the layout may vary by card brand), which suits a modelling window, reference material and a render preview side by side.

64GB of DDR5 and a 2TB NVMe SSD

The 64GB of DDR5 6000MHz CL36 memory is fitted as two 32GB modules in dual channel. The motherboard has four DIMM slots and supports up to 256GB, so two slots stay free for future growth. The 2TB WD Blue SN5100 M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD is rated at 7100MB/s read and 6700MB/s write and holds Windows, your applications and active projects, with quick access to large scene files and asset libraries. Three further M.2 slots are free, along with two SATA ports and case mounts for two 3.5in and two 2.5in drives, so asset libraries and project archives can be added later.

Air cooling and the Fractal Design Epoch Solid Black case

The processor is cooled by a Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE ARGB, a dual-tower air cooler 155mm tall and rated at 280W. That is a generous rating for a single 8-core processor, so the cooler has plenty of headroom during long CPU render sessions. The Fractal Design Epoch Solid Black is a mid tower with a solid steel finish and three pre-installed Momentum 12 fans at the front. It measures 443mm deep, 215mm wide and 455mm high and gives a clean, professional look for a studio or office desk. The Contour 850W ATX 3.1 power supply leaves comfortable headroom for the 300W graphics card.

Connectivity for studio and home working

The ASUS PRIME X870-P WIFI motherboard (AMD X870 chipset, ATX) provides Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4 and 2.5GbE wired networking, so the machine suits both a fixed studio network and home working. At the rear there are two USB4 Type-C ports, one 10Gbps Type-A port, three 5Gbps Type-A ports and four USB 2.0 ports. The front panel adds a 20Gbps USB Type-C port, two USB-A ports and a headphone and microphone combo jack. Audio is Realtek High Definition 7.1. No keyboard or mouse is included.

What is the V-Ray / 3ds Max Workstation – Ryzen 7 9700X / RTX 5070 Ti best for?

The V-Ray / 3ds Max Workstation is primarily a GPU rendering and real-time visualisation workstation for architectural and design professionals. Its 16GB of GDDR7 memory suits V-Ray GPU, Lumion, Enscape and D5 Render scenes, and the Ryzen 7 9700X gives enough CPU capacity for 3ds Max modelling and scene preparation. It is aimed at individual professionals and small practices rather than heavy, sustained CPU rendering.

In day-to-day use that means 3ds Max and V-Ray production, Chaos Corona renders, Enscape and Twinmotion walkthroughs from Revit or SketchUp, and Blender Cycles, Cinema 4D, Octane Render, Redshift and Arnold pipelines. Rhino and AutoCAD with V-Ray integration and KeyShot product visualisation also suit it. Long overnight CPU render jobs are the one area where a processor with more cores would help.

Where does the V-Ray / 3ds Max Workstation – Ryzen 7 9700X / RTX 5070 Ti sit in the range?

This workstation sits above the gaming-led builds in the same categories. The Intel Core Ultra 5 Radeon RX 9070 Gaming PC pairs a Core Ultra 5 245KF with a Radeon RX 9070 16GB, 32GB of DDR5 and a 1TB SSD. The Sim Racing Gaming PC – Ryzen 5 7600X, RTX 5070 uses a Ryzen 5 7600X with an RTX 5070 12GB, 32GB of DDR5 and a 1TB SSD. Compared with both, this system doubles the memory to 64GB, doubles the SSD to 2TB and carries 16GB of GDDR7 on an RTX 5070 Ti, which is what rendering scenes need. Buyers who need more CPU cores for heavy CPU rendering should look at the wider Workstation PCs range.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Yes. The RTX 5070 Ti’s 16GB of GDDR7 memory suits V-Ray GPU, Lumion, Enscape, D5 Render and Twinmotion scenes, and 3ds Max, Chaos Corona, Cinema 4D, Blender, Octane Render, Redshift, Arnold, KeyShot, SketchUp, Rhino, AutoCAD and Revit all run on it. The memory capacity matches the RTX 5080, so scene size is not limited, although an RTX 5080 would render faster.

Is 8 cores enough for V-Ray and Corona CPU rendering?

For most freelance and small studio work, yes. In GPU-led workflows the CPU mainly prepares scenes and supports the graphics card, and the Ryzen 7 9700X’s 8 cores and 16 threads at up to 5.5GHz are well suited to that. For CPU rendering in V-Ray or Chaos Corona it performs solidly. If you regularly run very large or overnight CPU render jobs, a processor with more cores will finish them sooner.

Is the V-Ray / 3ds Max Workstation quiet?

The processor cooler is built for headroom. The Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE ARGB is a dual-tower air cooler rated at 280W, which is generous for a single 8-core processor, so its fans do not need to work hard at typical workstation loads. During long GPU renders the graphics card is the main source of noise, and its cooling varies by card brand.

Can I add more memory and storage later?

Yes. The motherboard has four DIMM slots and supports up to 256GB of memory, with two slots free. There are also three free M.2 slots, two SATA ports and case mounts for two 3.5in and two 2.5in drives alongside the 2TB WD Blue SN5100 SSD. If you want a different starting point, you can change the memory and storage in the configurator before you order.

Who is this PC best suited for?

It suits freelance architects, visualisation artists, sole practitioners and small design practices who need a capable V-Ray and 3ds Max workstation with 16GB of GPU memory, 64GB of RAM and room to upgrade. It is a good fit for people running Lumion, Enscape, D5 Render or Twinmotion alongside V-Ray. Larger studios with heavy CPU render queues may want a higher core count.

Is Windows 11 Home enough for professional rendering software?

Yes. Windows 11 Home (genuine, pre-installed) runs the rendering and visualisation applications listed above. The main limitation compared with Windows 11 Professional is that it cannot host Remote Desktop connections. If you need to reach the workstation remotely, change the operating system in the configurator or call us on 0151 317 9860 before ordering.
