Hi

I recently worked on a scene where geometry export took longer than the render itself. What processor will be good for exporting heavy scenes?

My current processor is a i7 3930K but i need something cheaper for my other PC. I am considering i7 3820 but i dont know if it will be good enough.

It all depends on #of gpus and pcie slots and motherboard specs.

3820 has 40 lanes so shall be fine:

What motherboard and how many gpus?

Asus sabertooth X79, 1 GPU's for now, my old gtx 670. I need the CPU to sell it as a working PC ( i have all the parts except the CPU/RAM ), and maybe to use it as a additional render PC for octane
