Customize a Workstation For Content Creation

At Puget Systems, we do a LOT of testing. We believe that computers should be a pleasure to purchase and own. They should get your work done, and not be a hindrance. To do that, they need to be the right hardware for the job. We take it on as our mission to test and validate the industry's most popular applications, ensuring the software runs properly, and that our hardware is optimized for performance. We have found that this type of information is often either not available at all, or is extremely dated and no longer accurate. So, we share this information freely. The goal of our recommended systems program is to contribute our knowledge back to the community.

Select your primary software package:

Adobe After Effects

After Effects can be a very resource intensive program, but our AE workstations are designed to give you the power you need to allow you to quickly and efficiently complete your work.

Adobe Lightroom Classic

Lightroom has a lot of time consuming tasks - such as importing, exporting, and generating previews - but also requires a responsive system while you are correcting photos. Our workstations have been optimized to give you the best possible performance for both of these tasks.

Adobe Photoshop

A Photoshop workstation needs to be quick and agile, allowing the creative process to flow without interruption. Our photo editing computers are designed to ensure that you are able to complete your work with minimal disruption.

Adobe Premiere Pro

Whether you are working with H.264, MP4, ProRes, CineForm, RED, or any other codec, our workstations have been optimized to give you the very best performance when editing and exporting video in Premiere Pro.

Agisoft Metashape

Generating 3D spatial data in Metashape (formerly Photoscan) can often be a time consuming task, but our workstations are tailor-made to give you maximum performance. Each step of the way - from aligning photos, building the dense cloud, and building the mesh and texture - our workstations have the power to allow you to complete your work faster than ever before.

Autodesk 3ds Max

Puget Systems has performed extensive analysis of 3ds Max to configure a pair of systems that are designed specifically for the needs of 3ds Max users.

Autodesk Maya

Creating models, adding rigging, and performing animations in Maya needs a responsive workstation in order to allow your creative process to flow. Our recommended systems are designed to allow you to do your work without any hardware bottlenecks.

Cinema 4D

Whether creating or animating scenes and models in Cinema 4D, our recommended systems are designed specifically for the needs of C4D users.

DaVinci Resolve

DaVinci Resolve has a unique set of hardware requirements that you will not find on most standard computers. Our workstations have been designed and optimized specifically for Resolve to give you the best possible performance.

Live Streaming

Puget Systems has put together systems configured for professional and enthusiast gamers who live stream on sites like Twitch and YouTube

OTOY OctaneRender

OctaneRender is the worlds first and fastest GPU-accelerated, unbiased, physically correct renderer. What does that mean? It means that Octane uses the graphics card in your computer to render photo-realistic images super fast. With Octane

Pix4D

Processing images to form 3D maps and models in Pix4D is a time consuming task, but our workstations are built specifically to give you maximum performance. Whether building a point cloud, creating mesh and texture data, or generating DSM and orthomosaics - we have tested Pix4D to find the combination of hardware that will give you the fastest results.

RealityCapture

Turning photographs into 3D models with RealityCapture takes time, but our workstations are built specifically to minimize how long you are waiting on processing and to maximum your productivity. We have developed a benchmark for RealityCapture and tested it on a wide range of CPUs and video cards to find the combination of hardware that will give you the fastest results.

Redshift

By leveraging the incredible computing performance and efficiency of the GPU, Redshift dramatically speeds up rendering, resulting in faster iteration and lower costs. Tailored to support creative individuals and studios of every size, Redshift offers a suite of powerful features and integrates with industry-standard CG applications.

Unity

Easy enough for the beginner and powerful enough for the expert; Unity is terrific for anyone to easily create 3D games and applications for mobile, desktop, the web, and consoles.

Unreal Engine

From enterprise applications and cinematic experiences to high-quality games across PC, console, mobile, VR and AR, Unreal Engine 4 is a powerful tool that needs an equally powerful workstation.

V-Ray

From architecture and design to visual effects in film and television, V-Ray is the most widely used rendering solution in the world. V-Ray has helped artists and designers visualize their best work for over 20 years, pushing the boundaries of imagery, animation, and virtual reality.
