TopPC AMD Ryzen 9 Creative, Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB (2x16) DDR4, 2TB NVMe Gen4, no OS

Dateks Creative workstation with a Ryzen 9 5900X (12C/24T) processor, a 2 GB GeForce GT 1030 graphics card and a fast 32GB (2x16) DDR4 3200 MHz RAM is optimized to work with any currently available audio and photo editing software. This system also delivers outstanding performance in 4K and higher resolution video editing and during 3D model creation and rendering.

Audio editing

This Creative series computer meets and mostly exceeds system requirements of any audio editing and music production software so it can be used in professional sound studios to create high fidelity audio content. FL Studio, Ableton Live, Reason, Cubase, SOUND FORGE, Adobe Audition, Audacity are just some of the software you can run flawlessly on this PC. Extensive range of internal and external connections allow one to add professional grade sound cards, MIDI and DJ controllers and musical instruments.

Image and photo editing

Commonly used image editing software from Adobe, Corel, CyberLink etc. are constantly updated with features that support hardware acceleration. It means that these tasks are done by graphics card which is faster than CPU due to their parallel computing capabilities. That’s why we installed GeForce GT 1030 graphics with 2 GB DDR4 memory and 384 compute (CUDA) cores.

If you have ever used the Enhance Details function in Lightroom then you probably know that a GPU gives enormous performance boost. For example even an average GeForce GTX 1060 completes this task 15 to 20 times faster than Intel UHD 630 Graphics built in Core i9-9900K CPU!

As mentioned earlier, the role of GPU in image editing tools is constantly increasing but overall performance still mostly depends on the capabilities of the CPU and that’s why this PC is equipped with a state-of-the-art 12 core Ryzen 9 5900X processor with 64 MB of cache, 3.70 GHz base and 4.80 GHz turbo frequency that ensures you may use any Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Illustrator function without delays.

Video editing and post-processing

Video editing benefits significantly from a powerful CPU, too. If you’ll ask 10 people with experience working with video editing software, whether it was Windows Movie Maker, Premiere Pro or Vegas, at least 9 of them will tell you that most annoying part of the process is rendering because it takes a lot of time to export the file - mostly rendering itself takes more time than the playback of the video itself.

Rendering time depends on multiple parameters like CPU microarchitecture, cache size, core clock, speed and the amount of RAM. But the most important gain depends from core count – more cores will always decrease render times.

In our experience this Creative series workstation with a Ryzen 9 5900X 12-core processor provides the best performance in video editing tasks at this price point.

Still an excellent CPU is not enough to do professional video editing and post-processing because live preview and a lot of effects use hardware acceleration that requires a powerful GPU with a lot of VRAM especially if you work with 4K or higher resolution media. The recommended VRAM amount is directly dependent to the resolution of files you work with:

Resolution	1080p	4K	6K	8K
Recommended VRAM amount	4GB	6GB	8GB	10GB

According to these requirements we have chosen to equip this desktop PC with a powerful GeForce GT 1030 video card as its 2 GB DDR4 VRAM will provide the power needed to work with 1080p, 4K and higher resolution materials in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, MAGIX Vegas, DaVinci Resolve and other resource-hungry video editing and post-processing software.

Some of you may ask why a serious Creative workstation is equipped with gaming grade GeForce GT 1030 graphics instead of a professional NVIDIA Quadro or AMD FirePro solution. The truth is that gaming cards are more affordable and deliver better overall performance if we take multiple usage scenarios in account (photo and video editing, 3D animation, games etc.). And you don’t have to be ashamed if you want to relax from work and play computer games with a high framerate - GeForce GT 1030 unlike the Quadro will make it possible.

It’s also important to have decent amount of speedy RAM in video editing tools so the work with complex 1080p and 4K projects can be done in a breeze. We provide a 3200 MHz 32GB (2x16) DDR4 RAM which can be doubled thanks to free memory slots on the A520 motherboard.

3D and CAD software

The most popular 3D tools like Autodesk 3ds Max, Maya, Revit and Cinema 4D can effectively utilize just a single processor core so it’s important to have a CPU with higher core clock. The same rule applies to AutoCAD, Inventor and Revit.

The situation is different in rendering tasks (Arnold, Mental Ray, V-Ray, Keyshot etc.) which support multithreading so the core and thread count vastly decreases export times. That’s why some companies provide their employees with 3D workstations that are meant only for modelling while the rendering is done on separate machines called render farms.

This Creative workstation with its Ryzen 9 5900X CPU with a maximum clock speed of 4.80 GHz allows to do 3D modelling and animation flawlessly while its huge core count (12 cores / 24 threads) provides quick rendering speeds, too. To display complex models on your high-resolution monitor there’s a GeForce GT 1030 2 GB graphics card installed with a lot of headroom even for more complex tasks. Most 3D and CAD software suggest an amount of RAM from 8 to 16 gigabytes, so our choice of 32GB (2x16) DDR4 3200 MHz is more than enough to achieve best performance.

The included AMD Ryzen 9 5900X processor has 12 cores and 64 MB cache. It has a base frequency of 3.70 GHz, which can be increased to 4.80 GHz for more demanding tasks thanks to Turbo technology.

The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X CPU with impressive 12C/24T core configuration, huge 64 MB cache and core clock ranging from 3.70 GHz to 4.80 GHz receives whopping 39500+ points in famous PassMark test. By purchasing a PC with a Ryzen 9 5900X processor you will get peace of mind for several years as its power allows you to render and work with complex 3D models and do professional video editing with fast rendering times. Of course, any current and upcoming computer game won’t be a problem for this computer because of its powerful GeForce GT 1030 graphics card.

TheRyzen 9 5900X is AMD's most advanced 12-core processor in the 7-nanometre Zen 3 architecture, released in late 2020. It boasts 3.70 GHz high base and 4.80 GHz Boost frequencies and 64 MB cache. The new "Zen 3" microarchitecture Ryzen 5000 series processors have a significant 19% increase in IPC (instructions per cycle ) compared to the Ryzen 3000 series "Zen 2" processors.

This impressive 19% increase has enabled the Zen 3 core to not only become AMD's fastest CPU core to date, but also to overtake Intel for the first time in more than 10 years. And by a wide margin - in the well-known CineBench R20 Single Core test, the Ryzen 9 5900X is 90 points or 16% ahead of Intel's currently fastest Core i9-10900K processor. This is a testament to the progress and power of this processor and AMD's entire Zen 3 product line.

Ergonomics

Given the amount of time we spend in front of a computer nowadays, the impact it has on our physical health and well-being, or ergonomics, plays an important role in our choice of computer. Laptops are by design unsuitable for long-term use because the relatively small screen is placed very close to the keyboard and the two cannot be in the right position for the human body at the same time. Prolonged work in an unnatural sitting position can cause neck and back pain and even lead to poor posture. Similarly, looking at a small screen puts increased strain on the eye muscles and, over time, almost inevitably leads to visual impairment.

By contrast, if we buy a stationary computer and add a keyboard, mouse and monitor of the right size, we can design our workplace in a way that is comfortable for us and as safe as possible for our bodies, thus avoiding increased fatigue, stiffness and pain in muscles and joints, and serious health problems in the long term.

Remember! No matter what computer you are sitting at, it is advisable to take a 3-5 minute break every 60 minutes to walk around, exercise your muscles, joints and vision, alternating between near and far objects to prevent your eye muscles from getting used to the unwanted focus at a certain distance.

Advantages of a desktop computer

Mobile processors and graphics cards have become more powerful in the last couple of years but the difference between the performance of a laptop and a desktop PC is still marginal. Of course you can run modern games and even professional photo and video editing software on a laptop but at the same price point a desktop computer will offer more performance than a laptop at almost any task.

In our experience insufficient cooling is also a serious problem in laptops and there’s an easy explanation – users want their devices to be powerful yet thin and light which is almost an impossible combination to achieve. Most consumers and manufacturers prefer design and mobility over performance, which results in a visually attractive product that heats up rapidly after just few minutes or even seconds after putting an increased load on the main components. Laptop fans start spinning faster to cope with the excessive heat. This increases the noise and is very often not effective enough, so the CPU and/or GPU reaches its temperature limit and the thermal throttling (self-preservation by significantly lowering the clock speed) kicks in. That results in a big loss of performance.

You don’t have to worry about overheating when you purchase our Creative series desktop PC. We have installed optimal Extreme Air Cooler which will make sure that the Ryzen 9 5900X processor delivers its advertised performance without overheating. The temperature and noise levels will remain at a comfortable level all the time.
