another time - rendering is calculation of the processor nothing else. You can - even with Vue - render on several machines (RenderCow). What role does a video card play there? None. Rendering has nothing to do with display. Even when OpenGL slows down the display mode in Vue (iff), we are talking not even in percentage here. Look, i have started a rendering this afternoon which promises me 16 hours til it is finished. To refresh screen with OpenGL it takes - well - half a second? Ok, let's be hard. 1 second. So the bottleneck in rendering is never ever a video card. It is memory and processor speed.
