hardware for rendering
Hello everyone.

i'm working in AC22 and have started with Corona few month ago. To be honest  - Corona is amasing tool for rendering.
I'm asking for some advice for my future upgrade.
so, now I'm using i5-4440, 3,1 Ghz but it is toooo slow and going to replase by:
1) Xeon E5 2670 v0 2.6 Ghz with apropriate motherboard
2)  i7 - 4790K 4.0 Ghz with  existing MB (socet 1150).
Thanks in advance for your advice

Re: hardware for rendering
A good starting point is to look up the CPU you are planning on in the benchmark results, plus the CPU you already have, to see what kind of speed gain you will get - https://corona-renderer.com/benchmark/results

Re: hardware for rendering
Two things:

More cores (as many as you can get) and faster ones at that, and also as much RAM as you can possibly stuff into your machine.
ArchiCAD on its own uses up quite a bit of RAM, but Corona will require as much as you have left - especially if your scene has a lot of geometry.
So max out your system for RAM and get as high as you can.
