Ian:
just responding to your comment about "top gamers" in post #23
I know that raytrace doesn't use video card
but does use cpu and cores - lots of cores
renders use the video card and renders are also important to chief
thus a good/great chief PC would have a good gaming video card and
lots of cores with a fast cpu to cover both renders and rays
8 - 16 GB of cpu ram and 1 - 3 GB of video ram

Lew,
The question is:
Will an AMD FX-8150 with 8 cores ray trace quicker than an Intel i7 that has 4 cores?
Cheers.

AMD FX8150 or Intel i7 2600 for ray tracing?
Lew,
Me neither... I don't know which is quicker.
The test plan ray trace averages about 68 seconds on the i7.
AMD FX8150 still unknown.
Cheers.
