As such, there aren&#8217;t specific video card requirements like many other 3D modeling applications &#8211; and certainly no need for an expensive &#8220;professional&#8221; card. A mid-range GPU like NVIDIA&#8217;s RTX\u2122 5060 Ti would be plenty, but if you run any other applications make sure you consider their needs as well. ZBrush is often used in tandem with other 3D programs like Cinema 4D or Blender which can benefit from a more powerful video card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"ram\">Memory (RAM)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much memory (RAM) does ZBrush need?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike many other 3D programs, where the graphics card&#8217;s VRAM is what limits how high the polygon count of models can get, main system memory is what ZBrush uses. However, ZBrush is well optimized so that even models with tens of millions of polygons will be able to run with as little as 16GB of RAM. Since most users have multiple programs running at the same time, though, 32GB is a much safer choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"storage\">Storage (Drives)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the best type of drive to use for ZBrush?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of what allows ZBrush to be so efficient with its use of system memory is that writes a large number of temp files (sometimes called caching). These files can reach several gigabytes in size, with complex models, but not enough to demand massive amounts of storage. What is more important is the speed of the drive where ZBrush is installed and where both your saved files and the temporary cache is located. Some users like to split those up, with something like a 500GB primary drive for the OS, applications, and documents &#8211; and then a second drive that is dedicated for temp files. That may be overkill for many users, though, so a single drive is fine as well. The important thing is to make sure these drives are fast, so solid-state drives (SSDs) are essential and one using NVMe technology is ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-sort-of-drive-is-best-for-data-storage-and-backup\">What sort of drive is best for data storage and backup?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Since SSDs are still more expensive than platter drives per GB, for long term storage and backup we recommend using a traditional hard drive or even an external drive array. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/workstations\/storage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Network-attached storage systems<\/a> are a great way to go for that, as they can be shared between multiple workstations and usually offer features to provide some level of data redundancy (protection against losing files if one of the drives dies).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover is-light full-width\" style=\"min-height:50px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim-100 has-background-dim\" style=\"background-color:#f2f2f2\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-bootstrap-blocks-container container mb-0\">\n\t\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-bootstrap-blocks-row row puget-icon-section cta-original\">\n\t\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-6\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-thumbnail is-resized text-center\"><a href=\"\/solutions\/3d-design-workstations\/zbrush\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-cdn.pugetsystems.com\/2022\/12\/computer-icon.png\" alt=\"Tower Computer Icon in Puget Systems Colors\" class=\"wp-image-12659\" style=\"width:113px;height:113px\" title=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-text-color\" style=\"color:#130c64\">Looking for a ZBrush workstation?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">We build computers that are tailor-made for your workflow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-bootstrap-blocks-button text-center\">\n\t<a\n\t\thref=\"\/solutions\/3d-design-workstations\/zbrush\/\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"btn btn-primary\"\n\t>\n\t\tConfigure a System\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-6\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-thumbnail is-resized text-center\"><a href=\"\/contact-expert\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-cdn.pugetsystems.com\/2022\/08\/talking-icon.png\" alt=\"Talking Head Icon in Puget Systems Colors\" class=\"wp-image-12657\" style=\"width:113px;height:113px\" title=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-text-color\" style=\"color:#130c64\">Don&#8217;t know where to start?
