Hi,
It's time to get a new system for MAX2009 and V-Ray.
I've done numerous searches here, on other forums, toms hardware, and Google, but was unable to find anything that really compares the two options head-to-head for Max/V-Ray.
The system will be outfitted with all components as identical as possible, running on XP Pro 32-bit. Because my scenes are not super-large (typically 5,000-20,000 polys), I probably don't need a system that can handle massive amounts of RAM, thus the lack of interest in 64-bit XP Pro. I also want maximum compatibility with other software and hardware.
Disregarding price, what will be faster for V-Ray rendering (assuming similar clock speeds and NOT overclocked)?
DUAL Quad Core Intel Xeon Processor E54XX
- or -
Intel Core i7 Processor
Any help or advice you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim
