Hello,
I'm setting a personnal render farm on 3 PC,
1st PC: Xeon E5690 6 core (12 thread), 56 GB Ram and a GTX 980 Ti,
2nd PC: Core i7 2860QM 4 core (8 thread), 16GB Ram and a Quadro 4000
3rd PC: Xeon E5430 4 core (no thread), 32GB Ram, Quadro FX 1700,

Do you think I need to change the Graphic card of the 3rd PC?
Knowing that I will only use it for this render farm.
Logically I would say no, but your opinion would be welcome.
thank you

For rendering with Corona, and as a render node only, the graphics card will make no difference :) So no need to change it.

More RAM is always better where possible. All depends on what scenes you are rendering of course, and only you can be the judge of that :) My two render nodes only have 16Gb and I've not had any problems, but it does all depend on the kind of scenes you render.
