3D - Rendering Speed

Im wondering how i would increase my rendering speed when it comes to a #d program lioke 3DS Max. Ive been told its processor speed, and i also have been told that Nvidia Quadros greatly increase it. which would improve it the most?

2 Geforce 7600's SLI, Intel Dual Core e6400, 2 gigs of ram on Asus P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe

A workstation graphics solution such as the Quadro you mentioned would give you the best performance increase. Although updating the CPU won't hurt.

Actually, the graphics card will not increase your rendering speed in ANY way unless you use nvidia's own rendering solution which uses the GPU to render, or any other GPU-based solution, the faster GPU will increase the fps inside of the viewports though,.

However, the faster the CPU, and/or more cores there are, the faster you will find the application will render, if of course, you are using a renderer other than scanline which can use multiple cpu's/cpu-cores which would increase the bucket-count, therefore decreasing rendering time considerably.

For rendering, its all down to the CPU and RAM, GPU has nothing to do with it, as stated earlier.

Cheers.

Thats weird, on sites like newegg customer reviews say that these GFX cards increased rendering speeds a lot. thats what got me confused.

why get a p4 when a core 2 /amd x2 leaves it in the dust?
