Been looking at upgrading to a 64 bit system. Had a couple of questions:

Quad Core offer any REAL benefit over dual core for VUE?

And FireGL a good card to get for using this software?

My question is: "How many threads/processes can the Vue 6 render-engine run concurrently?".  With Vue 6, I'm pretty sure a four-core processor will cut a duel-core render time in nearly half. True, anyone?

There is a new benchmark thread at Cornucopia3D. Maybe you have a look there.

Charles...the new quad cores aren't showing anything like double the speed increase over dual core in any of the tests I've seen so far. ...it doesn't seem to be value for money over dual cores...yet.

Cheers

^^ that's the opposite of what I've seen:

Ignore any "3dmark" benchmarks, because they are game-centric and heavily dependent on graphics card.  All the game and Winmark and whatnot benchmarks are pretty meaningless.  Take a look at the 3ds Max and Lightwave and povray benchmark numbers.
