Description

Lasseter 1 is a set of 4 game development workstations, designed around a 16-core Ryzen 9 9950X3D processor and an RTX 5080 16GB video card.

General System Design

This build is designed around a 16-core Ryzen 9 9950X3D processor and an RTX 5080 16GB video card.

Software Workload/Customer Need

This customer was looking for a new PC vendor for their game development business.

They wanted a vendor that understood their workload, knew how to design machines to be both powerful and long-lasting, and would be open to design changes to best fit their particular needs.

This build is designed specifically for animators. It enables them to smoothly animate and model the game, leaving the heavy compiling to programmers.

This build was ordered with Spector 1 and Torvalds 1 and is similar to our Ryzen 9 Game Development Workstation.

Design Rationale

  • The Ryzen 9 9950X3D gave the customer a great amount of single-core performance for general use and gaming, and more multicore performance for heavily-threaded tasks.
  • To ensure the CPU runs at full speed, liquid cooling with a 360mm liquid cooler is recommended.
  • The customer wanted a stable motherboard with a good amount of desktop functionality. They requested 10G networking, and verified that the motherboard was compatible with their PXE needs.
  • The customer agreed with our recommendation for memory.
  • The customer was mostly fine with our recommended storage setup, upgrading the second drive from 4TB to 8TB.
  • The customer was fine with our recommended video card.
  • The customer was fine with our recommended power supply.
  • We used a larger mid-tower case to fit the build. The customer requested a model without a glass panel.
