Puget Systems will showcase their most powerful workstation yet at SIGGRAPH 2025, featuring 288GB of VRAM. Plus, partnerships that bring markerless motion capture and LED volume technology directly to attendees. The company will also launch a collaborative benchmarking program that lets hardware and software developers shape how performance gets measured across the industry.
Virtual production workflows are getting a major spotlight through an immersive "Virtual Rage Room" experience, while multi-GPU configurations promise to handle the most demanding content creation and AI workloads without thermal compromises.
Power Under the Hood: Multi-GPU systems become practical with NVIDIA's efficiency-focused Max-Q architecture
Puget Systems will debut their new RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q Workstation Edition, designed specifically for workflows that can leverage multiple GPUs. The Max-Q variant uses half the power of standard RTX PRO 6000 cards while maintaining performance levels, enabling multi-GPU setups without significant thermal or stability trade-offs.
The demo system loaded with 288GB of VRAM represents a first in the industry, targeting heavy content creation, VFX, animation, AI development, and simulation tasks. Puget's internal testing shows the efficiency tuning allows multiple GPUs to run in a single system without the usual power draw limitations.
NVIDIA's Blackwell architecture provides top-tier GPU compute for rendering, real-time graphics, and AI workloads
Custom configurations support niche software, unusual workflows, and advanced networking needs
Fast build times and lifetime tech support differentiate from volume-oriented competitors
Live Action Capture: Markerless motion capture meets LED volumes in an interactive booth experience
The partnership with Form Volumes will create a "Virtual Rage Room" where attendees can swing at digital objects while their movements get captured in real-time without physical markers or suits. The setup uses a 10-foot LED wall and integrates multiple technologies powered by Puget workstations:
Captury markerless motion capture eliminates the need for reflective suits or dots
OptiTrack camera arrays mounted on trusses provide full-body tracking via Motive software
Real-time facial tracking adds another layer of capture precision
Unilumin LED walls supplied by Form Volumes handle visualization
Unreal Engine processes real-time rendering while cloud integration delivers shareable content
This demonstration shows how smaller studios can access virtual production techniques previously reserved for major productions, with Puget workstations handling the intense real-time data pipelines that make such setups possible.
Measuring What Matters: New benchmarking program brings hardware and software developers into the testing process
Puget Systems will formally launch their Puget Bench Development Program at SIGGRAPH, expanding their popular benchmarking tools into a collaborative platform. The program allows industry leaders to help design, test, and evolve performance benchmarks that reflect real-world usage.
The initiative addresses a gap between synthetic benchmarks and practical studio applications. Partners get early access to benchmark updates, input into upcoming features, and filtering systems to protect against NDA hardware leaks.
Multi-user site licenses include support for all licensed features
Offline activation and result upload controls protect sensitive testing
Regular sync calls discuss benchmark direction and industry trends
Access to roadmaps helps partners plan for future testing needs
The Bigger Picture: Virtual production democratization accelerates as hardware catches up to creative ambition
SIGGRAPH 2025 will highlight how real-time collaboration and AI acceleration are reshaping content creation workflows. Puget Systems' approach combines personalized hardware design with industry education, positioning them as both solution provider and thought leader.
The emphasis on efficiency through Max-Q architectures reflects growing attention to sustainability and operational costs as studios balance performance demands with budget realities. Meanwhile, the collaborative benchmarking program places Puget in a position to influence how performance gets measured industry-wide, impacting purchasing decisions far beyond their customer base.
