Dateks AMD Ryzen 9 (Zen 4) Creative, Ryzen 9 7950X, 64GB (2x32) DDR5, GeForce RTX 4090, 4TB NVMe Gen4, no OS

TheDateks.lv Creative series workstation, featuring a powerful Ryzen 9 7950X (16C/32 T) processor, 24 GB GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card and fast 64GB (2x32) DDR5 5200 MHz RAM, is optimised for professional performance with any audio and photo processing software available today. The system delivers impressive performance in 4K and even higher resolution video processing as well as 3D modelling and rendering.

Working with audio

The Creative series workstation meets and exceeds the recommended requirements of the most popular sound processing and music production tools, so it can be safely used in sound studios to create high-quality audio content in FL Studio, Ableton Live, Reason, Cubase, SOUND FORGE, Adobe Audition, Audacity and other sound processing software (DAW). The extensive range of internal and external ports allows you to add professional-grade sound cards, MIDI and DJ controllers, as well as other accessories and musical instruments to the system.

Photo processing

The most popular photo editors (Adobe, Corel, CyberLink, etc.) increasingly include features and effects that support graphic acceleration. During acceleration, calculations are performed by video cards, which are many times faster than CPUs due to their parallel computing capabilities. For this purpose, a GeForce RTX 4090 with 24 GB GDDR6X memory and 16384 compute (CUDA) cores is installed in the PC.

If you've used the Enhance Details feature in Lightroom, you'll know that the video card gives an incredible performance boost, as even the mediocre GTX 1060 does this 15-20 times faster than the Intel UHD 630 Graphics chip built into the Core i9-9900K processor!

As we mentioned earlier, the video card is becoming increasingly important for photo processing, but for now the hardest work is still on the CPU, so this system features the powerful and advanced 16 Core Ryzen 9 7950X processor with 64 MB cache, 4.50 GHz base and 5.70 GHz turbo frequency. This will allow you to use all the features of Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Illustrator quickly and without unpleasant delays.

Video editing and post-processing

As with photo processing, the central processing unit (CPU) does the heavy lifting when rendering video material. If you survey ten people who have tried editing a video at least once in their lives, whether with Windows Movie Maker, Premiere Pro, MAGIX Vegas or other software, at least nine will find that the most frustrating part of the whole process is the rendering, which, depending on the video resolution and the effects used in the editing, most often takes longer than the video itself.

The time required to export the edited material depends on a number of system parameters - processor architecture, cache, clock frequency, RAM size and speed - but the number of cores makes the biggest difference - the more cores, the shorter the time it takes to render the video.

In our opinion, this Ryzen 9 7950X 16 cored Creative workstation delivers the best performance for video processing tasks in its price segment.

However,previews and effects that support graphics acceleration require a modern and powerful video card with a large amount of graphics memory (VRAM), especially when the goal is to edit 4K and higher resolution video. The recommended amount of VRAM depends directly on the resolution of the video material to be processed:

Material resolution	1080p	4K	6K	8K
Recommended VRAM size	4GB	6GB	8GB	10GB

With these requirements in mind, we've also equipped the system with a powerful GeForce RTX 4090 video card that 24 GB GDDR6X memory delivers the horsepower you need to work with 1080p, 4K and higher resolution content in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, MAGIX Vegas, DaVinci Resolve and other video editing and post-production tools.

You may be wondering why Creative a workstation is running a gaming-ready GeForce RTX 4090 video card instead of a professional-grade NVIDIA Quadro or AMD FirePro. The truth is that video cards designed for gaming are more affordable and provide much better overall performance when we include the different possible applications (photo and video processing, 3D modelling, gaming, etc.) in the calculations. And there's no need to be ashamed of taking a break from the workflow to play a demanding PC game - GeForce RTX 4090 makes this possible, unlike Quadro cards.

The amount and speed of RAM plays an equally important role in video processing. To handle complex 1080p and 4K projects freely and without slowdown, the system includes a massive 5200 MHz 64GB (2x32) DDR5 memory, which can even be doubled if needed thanks to the free memory sockets on the X670E motherboard.

CAD design and 3D modelling

The most popular 3D tools today , Autodesk 3ds Max, Maya, Revit and Cinema 4D, can only use one core effectively during the model creation, modification and animation process, so the processor clock frequency plays a particularly important role during these operations - the higher it is, the smoother the work will run. The same applies to AutoCAD, Inventor and Revit architecture and design software.

In contrast, in model rendering (Arnold, Mental Ray, V-Ray, Keyshot, etc.) it is the number of cores that has a significant impact on the time taken to export the material, which is why often in large corporations employees are provided with separate workstations for modelling, while the rendering processes are executed on separate systems, popularly known as render farms.

This Creative workstation has a Ryzen 9 7950X processor with a maximum clock frequency of 5.70 GHz, which allows the simulation processes to run smoothly and seamlessly. And the high core count (16 cores / 32 threads) helps render complex 3D models. The performance of the graphics card is also important for the smooth display of any 3D content - our GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB is more than sufficient for this. For the applications listed, the recommended RAM is between 8GB and 16GB, so the included 64GB (2x32) DDR5 5200 MHz RAM in the configuration has plenty of headroom to perform these tasks professionally.

CPU AMD Ryzen 9 7950X

The included AMD Ryzen 9 7950X processor has 16 cores and 64 MB cache. It has a base frequency of 4.50 GHz, which can be increased to 5.70 GHz for more demanding tasks thanks to Turbo technology.

The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X CPU with impressive 16C/32T core configuration, huge 64 MB cache and core clock ranging from 4.50 GHz to 5.70 GHz receives whopping 64000+ points in famous PassMark test. By purchasing a PC with a Ryzen 9 7950X processor you will get peace of mind for several years as its power allows you to render and work with complex 3D models and do professional video editing with fast rendering times. Of course, any current and upcoming computer game won’t be a problem for this computer because of its powerful GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card.

Ergonomics

Given the amount of time we spend in front of a computer nowadays, the impact it has on our physical health and well-being, or ergonomics, plays an important role in our choice of computer. Laptops are by design unsuitable for long-term use because the relatively small screen is placed very close to the keyboard and the two cannot be in the right position for the human body at the same time. Prolonged work in an unnatural sitting position can cause neck and back pain and even lead to poor posture. Similarly, looking at a small screen puts increased strain on the eye muscles and, over time, almost inevitably leads to visual impairment.

By contrast, if we buy a stationary computer and add a keyboard, mouse and monitor of the right size, we can design our workplace in a way that is comfortable for us and as safe as possible for our bodies, thus avoiding increased fatigue, stiffness and pain in muscles and joints, and serious health problems in the long term.

Remember! No matter what computer you are sitting at, it is advisable to take a 3-5 minute break every 60 minutes to walk around, exercise your muscles, joints and vision, alternating between near and far objects to prevent your eye muscles from getting used to the unwanted focus at a certain distance.

Advantages of a desktop computer

Mobile processors and graphics cards have become more powerful in the last couple of years but the difference between the performance of a laptop and a desktop PC is still marginal. Of course you can run modern games and even professional photo and video editing software on a laptop but at the same price point a desktop computer will offer more performance than a laptop at almost any task.

In our experience insufficient cooling is also a serious problem in laptops and there’s an easy explanation – users want their devices to be powerful yet thin and light which is almost an impossible combination to achieve. Most consumers and manufacturers prefer design and mobility over performance, which results in a visually attractive product that heats up rapidly after just few minutes or even seconds after putting an increased load on the main components. Laptop fans start spinning faster to cope with the excessive heat. This increases the noise and is very often not effective enough, so the CPU and/or GPU reaches its temperature limit and the thermal throttling (self-preservation by significantly lowering the clock speed) kicks in. That results in a big loss of performance.

You don’t have to worry about overheating when you purchase our Creative series desktop PC. We have installed optimal 360mm Liquid Cooler which will make sure that the Ryzen 9 7950X processor delivers its advertised performance without overheating. The temperature and noise levels will remain at a comfortable level all the time.
