Hey guys, I am having a really hard and frustrating time with this model I'm working on.
First of max keeps crashing over and over and over this started happening ever since I imported some older work I had done into my new scene and I cant seem to make it stop so I am saving constantly to avoid losing work.
Second thing is Vray is taking up a lot of ram to render scenes and when I try to render at a somewhat high resolution of 1080p max crashes and it takes up to an hour during the building of the light cache to do so, I built this machine brand new for max i7 920 rig with 6 gigs of ram. My older pc was an old Pentium D Dual Core and 2 gigs of ram and while it would chug it was at least able to render scene at that resolution with scene with up to 1 million polys.
The scene I am trying to render now only has 250k polygons, something has to be wrong somewhere I cannot understand why I am getting such poor performance it's just making it extremely frustrating.
And finally when I am able to render albeit at super small resolutions I see these blotches on my render on the displacement maps I tried upping the H and S subdivisions but it did not help.

Sorry for the small res but its all I could get out of max.
Also here are the V ray settings I've got
