Hello, I am currently in the process of ordering a new workstation and the what I am trying to decide on is if I should order multiple CPU for mental ray rendering or should I order multiple GPU for iRay rendering? Is mental ray (CPU rendering) still the best way to render or is iray (GPU rendering) the way I should go. I have only used mental ray and have no experience with iray.
iray spec: CPU- (1) Xeon E5-2630 v2 six core 2.6 GHz
Graphics- (2) Nvidia GTX 780ti cards
menta ray sped: CPU- (2) Xeon E5-2630 v2 six core 2.6 GHz
Graphics- (1) Nvidia GTX 780ti card
I use Autocad Architecture for most of my work, but when I do render in 3DS max design, I want quick render times.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
