Hello cgarchitect community!
I am somewhat desperate for better performance by Vray 2.0 for Sketchup on my work computer. My biggest problem is displacement. If the model is the least bit complex and displacement is on for any materials, I end up with a render that crawls at a glacial pace until a bug splat. This happens pretty much every time. I have listed my machine's stats below. Any suggestions you may have for changes in hardware or settings that would improve vray performance would be greatly appreciated. I have tried many displacement and quality settings, and it does not seem to make a difference.
Dell Precision T3600
Intel Xeon CPU E5-1607 0 @ 3.00GHz
32.0 GB RAM
Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit
AMD FirePro V5900 (FireGL V)
SketchUp 2013 (same performance with SketchUp 8)
Vray 2.0 for Sketchup
Thank you!
