Would you mind elaborating on exactly how that works? |
If I want to render something, depending on the size, it can take 20+ hours. Due to the load on the CPU it takes, there's no way the PC can do anything but render, therefore preventing me from playing games on it.
If he gets a cheaper CPU, the extra cash could make a small 8 core AMD PC that could be used as a 24/7 render station. When the time comes to render, transfer the file across from the main PC to the render station, hit go and you still have access to the gaming PC. It'll be slower, but leaving it on 24/7 isn't an issue. I just put it forward as a suggestion in case his PC is his main source of gaming.
