Workstations for Chaos Vantage
Chaos Vantage ray traces in real time on the graphics card, so the GPU and its memory come first. We size these machines around one powerful card.
What matters for Chaos Vantage
- A DXR-compatible GPU with hardware ray tracing
- GPU memory for large V-Ray scenes
- A recent NVIDIA architecture: Shader Execution Reordering runs on Blackwell and Ada
- Windows 10 or later
Chaos Vantage requires a DXR-compatible graphics card (Chaos Vantage getting started). AMD, Intel and NVIDIA cards are supported, and Shader Execution Reordering is available on NVIDIA Blackwell and Ada cards (CG Channel, Vantage 2.8 and 3.1). Vantage runs on Windows 10 or later. We could not confirm Chaos’s current VRAM, CPU or memory figures, or how Vantage behaves with more than one GPU, so we size around a single card and its memory. Every configuration uses an NVIDIA Blackwell card. Standard starts with a 24GB RTX PRO 4000, giving headroom for typical architectural visualisation scenes. Heavy moves to the NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 48GB with 128GB of system memory. Studio uses the 96GB RTX PRO 6000 Workstation Edition and 256GB for very large V-Ray scenes. We will add a multi-GPU option once Chaos’s multi-GPU behaviour is confirmed. If your scenes are large or you plan to use Vantage alongside V-Ray rendering, tell us and we will check the fit.

Frequently asked questions
Vantage needs a DXR-compatible card (Chaos Vantage getting started). AMD, Intel and NVIDIA are supported, and Shader Execution Reordering is available on NVIDIA Blackwell and Ada cards (CG Channel). All three configurations here use NVIDIA Blackwell cards.
We have not been able to confirm how Vantage handles multiple GPUs, so each configuration uses one card. If you need more, talk to us before ordering.
Chaos lists Windows 10 or later (CG Channel). The sources we checked do not mention Linux. Our configurations ship with Windows 11 Pro.
Standard suits students and smaller scenes, with a 24GB card. Heavy suits most professional work, with the NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 48GB and 128GB of memory. Studio gives 96GB of GPU memory and 256GB for very large V-Ray scenes.
Yes. Press Customise and the configurator opens with this build already selected. You can change any part except the chassis, such as more storage or more memory, and the price updates as you go.
