I didn't say that four q6600 is the best solution.
I just said that your result is good. Of course if you have money to buy two new i5's than you should go for it.
indeed you are right
Win 7 x64 Ultimate / Vray 2.10.1 ESANTI / 3ds max 2012 x64 / AMD 1100T Black Edition x6 O/C 3.8/ 16GB RAM GSkill (1600) /MSI GeForce GTX 560 TI/ Render time : 7 minutes 36 seconds
Question: Why Intel Core i7 ?
Exemple: Intel Core i7 970 Quad Core 506 € but AMD 1100T Black Edition x6 168 €pfffff.
So, Thinks ESANTI and GFXDomain
Win95 x32 / Vray 2.00.01 / Max 2011 x32 /Celeron 1.3 GHz overclocked to 1.6GHz/ 1GB RAM DDR1 / Rendertime = 6 Hours 49 Minutes
Win98 x32 / Vray 1.5 SP4a / Max 2011 x32 /Celeron 1.3 GHz overclocked to 1.6GHz / 2 GB RAM DDR1 / Rendertime = 6 Hours 19 Minutes
Greate Speed
that is why you don't buy i7 970. I would always go for the intel mainstream like i5 2500k. it costs about 195 eur, what is just a little bit more than AMD 1100T's price. Intel is more overclockable and it uses less electricity. So on the long run if electricity cost and performance gain is calculated into the price, Intel is cheaper that AMD.
Here's mine:
Intel Core i7 Extreme 980X @ 4.2GHz: 4 min 10 sec
Intel Core i7 2600K @ 4.6GHz: 5 min 10 sec
Quite okay for single CPU workstations.
The 2600K is of course the best choice for it's money / performance...
Cheers...

This is not "refraction problem". This is coplanar faces VRayPlane01+Transpare0. move Transpare0 upper a little 0,0000001mm
Win 7 x64 Ultimate / Vray Adv 2.10.01 / 3ds max 2012 x64 /Intel Core i5 760 @ 4250MHz / 8GB RAM /ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
/ Render time : 11 minutes 19,9 seconds
yes I know all that, but my hardware (motherboard, RAM) should have been changed and my budget does not allow me this year (2011) So I come out too bad. But before the end of the world of 12-21-12 I change my machine so I thought but with the loss of our AAA (Frenchy)I would simply renderfarm 5000 processors for the 66 millions hours of computing for ''Revenge of the Sites''. euh no ''Revenge of the Frenchy''
Well...
2 minutes slower in a 5 minute scene may not be much, but in a 3 hours per frame scene, that's about half an hour slower.
That's a huge impact in render time, cause when you have to render a 2.000 frames sequence, every second you gain in render speed counts!
Windows 7 64 / Vray 2.10.01 / Max 2012 64bit / i7 2500k@4.5Ghz / 8GB RAM / Rendertime : 7 minutes 11.4 seconds
hm. I believe that i2500k has the best price/performance ratio. It is more easily overclockable. and about 100eur cheaper.
The 2 minutes difference between the i2500K and the i2600K is something i would pay 100$ to avoid...
yes that is correct but i5 is more overclockable than i7 and after OC advantage is much smaller.
which CPU you have?
i5 2500k or i7 2600k or i72700k?

I used a meter to measure the power consumption of my 4 pcs (3xq6600,1xq8300 at 3 Ghz) -> 810 Watts ... OUCH OUCH OUCH

with vray 2.10.01 - W7 x64, 12GB. I7-920 @ 3,8Ghz (currently on air), GF460, 0h 6m 58,5s
Vray 2.10.01 / Max 2012 64bit /AMD Phenom II X4 945 3.0 GHz / 12 gig ram / Gforce 480 GTX / = 17min 04 sec.
3ds Max 2011 x64 - Vray 1.5 SP5
Intel Core i7-2600 3.40 GHz and 12 GB Ram - 6min 46 sec
3ds Max 2011 x64 - Vray 2.10.01 ( some refraction problems appeared )
Intel Core i7-2600 3.40 GHz and 12 GB Ram - 6min 52 sec
3ds Max 2011 x64 - Vray 2.20.03
Intel Core i7-2600 3.40 GHz and 12 GB Ram - 6min 34 sec

has anyone tested the FX8120 (185€) in this scene?
Operating System / Vray Version / 3dsmax version / CPU / Ghz of CPU (stock or O/C) / RAM / Rendertime of that scene you posted
windows 7 x64 / vray 2.10 / 3ds Max 2012 x64 / intel Core i7-3930K Hexa-core (6 core) / 3.2 Ghz / 6 Gb Ram / 3m 12sg
compared to post #123, 3930K is more than twice as faster compared to i7 2600k.
according to this article this is not the case with 3930k. It is only 25% faster than 2600k. So that would be 5min15s for your CPU. In your case it renders like you have two i7 2600k.
can you please rerun the test.
I am in search for the new CPU, so if this is the case with 3930k, than it is appealing product.
here's the guy with the same CPU as yours:
his time on stock is 5min6,9s, this is a big difference.
