What is the most important for 3D ? cpu, gpu, ram, HD ?

Hello,

I have to buy a new iMac to run a 3D medical PC application (for scanner) with Fusion 8

What is the most important to make Fusion powerful for 3D

- a lot of RAM ?

- a big CPU (i7?)

- a SSD or Fusion Drive ?
- 4 Go graphic memory ?

Thank you for help 😉

If you need true high-end graphics performance (e.g. full motion video editing, high-end games) for a windows application, use boot camp, not Fusion.

Otherwise, for a good solid machine, I'd get at least 16GB of RAM, an SSD, a decent CPU (less important though), and a discrete graphics card (integrated graphics are far better than they used to be, but no substitute for a real card).
