A small Investment was made.

Good day!

Corona is currently abusing the world and this leads to Nvidia, delaying their new GPU release.

My planned investment of 4x 3080Ti's + Threadripper 3970x will be delayed.

Most likely to next year because I have to wait for the custom 3080Ti's.

I need the best cooling I can get and we all saw what happened to the founder 2080Ti editions. And I am going to have 4 of them in a box.

I certainly won't go a full year without an investment.

So I purchased a "smaller" PC till I can make a big investment next year.

This smaller PC did cost around 3000€.

Here are the important specs:

1x 2080Ti

AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, Prozessor

64GB RAM

ASUS ROG STRIX X570-E GAMING

Water cooling

And a power supply with 1200W

I made sure this PC can be upgraded with a second 2080Ti (or even an RTX titan).

Another VERY BIG plus is.. I then have two PCs capable of rendering and setting up scenes.

I will be able to set up new scenes while one of the PC renders. This is HUGE for me.
Imagine a 70h animation. I wasn't able to set up new scenes for multiple days before. And due to my newly acquired knowledge and custom stuff.. Setting up scenes does take very long.

Still, 3000€ is a lot of money for me. It's not like I can just go "Tzz.. Easy."

I would be lying if I said this doesn't scare me... but I want to invest as much as I can into the production of my games and I am ready to take risks.

Still, a huge thanks to everyone who supported me!

Without you guys, I wouldn't be able to do this investment and follow what I love to do.

I make sure your support won't go to waste.

Both games, WiAB and SG will benefit a lot from this purchase.
