I have posted a thread (Test your PC rendering speed!!!) few months ago and it was sucess. Best sistem for me to buy was dual MP 2800+ according to that test. The problem is that I use V-ray most of the time and that test was for Max scanline rendering only.
I made a scene with architectural elements using GI, blurry reflections, displacement... so most of the functions are covered.
I can't upload it to internet, so could somebody send me mail and I will sent it so he can do it.
Tomorow I am going to vacation ( Adriatic sea, Dubrovnik ), and after I come back I will make chart with resoults.
Maybe somebody can adapt this scene for Brazil, MR or FinalRender and post it so we have complete test.
Thanks in advance.
It takes longer time to render so its best to leave it overnight.
Unzip file to root of your C disk.
Leave settings as they are and press render.
