I've done a search, but I must not be using the right keywords, cause I am not finding the information I am looking for. So here's hoping someone can help...
I would like to build a new system. I do mostly CAD solid modeling and photo-realistic rendering, but the biggest bottle neck is when I create a photo-realistic rendering of my CAD model.
So my question is this: what is the most important factor that will speed up photo realistic rendering? If I have the option of putting my money into a top of the line CPU and a mid-range card, versus a mid range CPU and a top of the line card, which is better. And most importantly, why?
Thoughts?
