15-17% range is ok if you compare them with Cinebench R11.5 or scanline renderer.
Vray is a different story and it is rarely seen in CPUs reviews .
Cinema 4D R13 - default renderer is also different from Vray or Cinebench R11.5:
Try it yourself if possible and you will see how impressive it is.

Hello everyone.
Recently, I have some quick test with Xeon E3 1230V3, a Hasswell base CPU with a famous 3D renderer : Vray
I used 2 version of 3dsmax & Vray to do my tests.
Vray 1.5SP5 & 3dsmax 2011 Vray 2.40.03 & 3dsmax 2012
The rendering time to finish the render tasks of Xeon E3 1230V3 are really impressive compare to the previous gen CPUs.
I did my tests with 2 3dsmax scenes from Evermotion.
(Lightcache/Number of passes is set to 8/12 to match the CPUs core/threads)

You should look at the apps you or someone need, I7 3770K is more powerful in most single threaded apps, not all apps.
In this case, I would stick with Vray renderer, and if you want a review you can search about it if you dont impress with my results:

Vray 2:
You can get an AMD FX 8350 for faster Vray rendering + cheaper price:
i7-3770k default: 12m08
i7-3770k @4.5ghz: 10m02
AMD FX 8350 default: 10m51s
AMD FX 8350 @4.5gh: 9m33s

The Quadro driver for your Geforce GTX 670 if you want to try:

As first, you should try some hotfixs from Autodesk.
Anh then, you could try to install the Quadro's driver for your Geforce GtX 670.
I have a 5 mil+ polygon file to test :

Just press play animation and count the time to finish 500 frame:
My results with some VGA : Frame per second --> Higher is better
Just upgrade to 3dsmax 2012 or 2013 and you could use the Nitrous driver, don't worries about the VGAs. Whatever they are Quadros, Firepros, Geforce or Radeon. They just work fine with Nitrous driver.
A mid range Radeon HD 7850 with 2gb Vram is enough for you.
I think you should wait for AMD FX 8350 for rendernode instead of I7 3770 , just few more days .!!
I have some3dsmax's rendering result] for you:

I7 2600K/I7 3770K are still better , I can show you some results that I tested before .
At the same speed 4.5ghz , I7 2600K render faster than any AMD FX 81xx ~ 10% . Cinebench is not actually like realwold rendering with Vray or mentalray ...
