hello everyone,
System requirements for ZBrush 4R7?
Not a lot of information are available about Zbrush 4R7 system requirements, I’m Still doing my search, but I’m wondering if some one can help me with some more information about 4R7 system requirements.
I Have an Intel® Core ™ i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67 GHz 2.67 GHz and 9.00 GB Memory, but I’m having a lot of issues when I’m sculpting kind of high poly like a human head My PC start slowing down and it doesn’t give me a smooth fast movement for the brush like clay buildup, (I might Update or change my PC and I’m wondering If ZBrush benefit more from more cores or higher gigahertz or both? Is it better get 16 core vs 8 core or 4, or it’s better trying to get faster GHz? How much ram is good is it the more ram I have the better it is or it does it matter after certain number? My Email is [email protected]
Thanks
Obviously faster is better but Zbrush was designed to perform OK even with low specs. Your current specs should be OK for most of the tasks. Take a look to these recent posts talking about this topic:

Obviously if you finally decide to buy a new computer the faster and more ram the better. I would say beyond 32gb won’t be used by Zbrush and normally a lot less but certainly can use more than the 9 gigs you have.
Zbrush I think uses multiple cores too but it doesn’t use the 3d of the graphic card. This means that even a basic graphic card should be OK. But if you are going to do 3d, graphics card more powerful will be demanded by other programs.
