Having the right hardware for Cinema 4D can definitely make a difference in your workflow, and also render times. Cinema 4D has always been known for stability and performance, but ensuring that your system meets at least the minimum requirements will help speed up your workflow with the new features in R23.
Cinema 4D System Requirements
Processor (CPU)
Minimum: Intel Core i5 or equivalent.
Highly Recommended: Intel Core i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 for modeling, animation, and rendering.
Graphics Card (GPU)
The software requires a minimum GPU of 4 GB VRAM such as NVIDIA GTX 1050.
Recommended: NVIDIA RTX series with 8GB VRAM or more.
RAM
Minimum: 8GB RAM for basic scenes
Recommends: 32GB or greater on a large project especially dealing with complex simulations and high poly models.
Storage
Minimum: 500GB SSD or HDD.
Best: 1TB NVMe SSD for quicker load times and improved performance with large files.
Optimizing Your System for Cinema 4D
For those that are working with more complicated scenes and animations, you can potentially switch to multiple time faster GPU renderers such as Redshift because their performance drastically outperforms the CPU-based ones.
