Hi cukt 7, the Render-Time is only a Suggestion by Bryce.In my Case it's usually longer than Bryce says.Your Graphic Card has no Influence tho the Render-Time.The best thing you can do for reducing the render-Time is to get the fastest CPU with a powerfull-Floating-Point Unit you can afford. That's where the rendering happens. Getting more Ram isn't wrong neither.It's faster to read & write to Ram instead to your Hard-Disk. Hope it helps.
