My Art Rig

Specs of my PC which I use for professional illsutration and design.

I was super blessed in November 2022! My husband’s streaming community got together behind our backs and organized a gofundme so that I could upgrade my 10 year old PC. It was a beast back in its day, but the hardware wasn’t keeping up with the software anymore. Scroll down for specs.

On my old PC, the brush lag in Corel Painter was particularly bad, even though this old benchmark claims brush performance will be exceptional, it really wasn’t…

For comparison, here’s my new benchmark…

My new PC runs Corel Painter way better, so just doing this quick little post to document my new specs in case there are other artists out there that are in the market for an upgrade:
