We'd like to get new Mac Pros for our After Effects artists, and would like to spec out the best system/best value for purely After Effects usage. We sometimes use Cinema4D, but really this would be for After Effects stations.
I'm not sure if After Effects can make positive use of dual video cards, pci flash based storage, etc.
We do not store our files locally, but rather work off of a server.
My thoughts are to max out cores/ram and omit the second video card. Use PCI flash based storage as a video cache.
Thanks!
