Ich hab einen i7-980X (6/12). Mir ist der schon zu langsam inzwischen (sollte um die 300€ kosten bei eBay).
GPU bringt bei den Standard Renderern (R15) nichts.. da zählt nur CPU.

Sobald Du aber mit Realflow/TurbulenceFD/Effex/X-Particles anfängst, solltest Du aufstocken oder extern auslagern..

Vray nutzt nur CPU,

the next big update is scheduled not too long after 1.8. and called v2.0. the c4d v2.0 will use most likely the V-Ray 3.0 core (if it is finalized and usable then already). at the moment we test already the v3.0 features in alpha versions. the version 2.0 will come with several 2.x updates/service packs. the most important feature is the integration of V-Ray RT (interactive rendering) into the c4d user interface. but also many of the announced V-Ray 3.0 features, and yet some other interesting features.

here a list of some of the features scheduled for next updates**):

- V-Ray RT 3.0 (GPU + CPU + DR, includes proxy, multi pass, motion blur and displacement, for production render)

Indigo (CPU-GPU)

Indigo 3.0 is GPU accelerated, resulting in speedups of 2-3x without any loss of the excellent image quality Indigo is famous for.

Both CUDA™ and OpenCL™ are supported, which means GPU acceleration will work on both AMD and NVidia cards, on OS X and Windows.

Maxwell (noch nicht probiert)

Octane oder m4d - keine Ahnung..
