Graphics card (GPU) – Controls how fast the screen updates and refreshes, so no screen lag.Processor (CPU) – This controls the speed that the software/programs will run at …the more ghz the better.However in short, the most important components are: Here however (having already done the research), we will highlight only the important aspects that need to be focused on.įor a detailed explanation on each of the key components that help to make up a computer, have a look at the below buyers guide Here If you want to get into the technical depths of comparing processor and graphics card speed’s then there is an abundance of this information all over the internet (you just need to Google it). The good news is that other than for specific rendering needs (architecture visualization), the requirements for 2D, 3D and graphic work are quite similar.

Therefore these types of computers are not always available “off the shelf”, and do require a good level research to ensure that you buy the right one. It’s important to note that these system requirements are above what might be classed as normal, and therefore the hardware required is a higher specification and price than your average student computer, but very similar to that of say an engineering student and animator for example. In fact it’s quite likely that at some point you will work with all of these! Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign for graphic work and image editing.
