Rendering Hardware discussion thread

[Mark Skarr]

I've got a Gateway FX6840-03e (so does MonkeyFist); it's an i7 with 8 gigs of DDR3).  It does support render farms and offloading, but I don't have one set up.  I've tried, once, to off-load some render threads to his computer, but, it wen't pear-shaped (Here is the finished render, just off of mine.)  Bruno, from the Steve Jackson Boards thinks that the problem was the read/write privileges.  I haven’t tried recently (he’s been busy on his computer).
The rendering engine I use is Lux Renderer.  The difference between the built-in rendering engine and Lux is night and day.
