Hardware GPU/CPU Considerations

I need to spec out a new rendering machine. Many of you have a better grasp on what impact different hardware specs have on V-Ray for Sketchup rendering speed, so figured I’d ask you guys. If you have specific items you’d recommend, that’s fine, but general advice is fine as well… like, make sure you get a processor/gpu with this spec… Any advice is much appreciated.

A good place to compare various hardware setups is V-Ray Benchmark – test your CPU/GPU rendering power | Chaos

Kind regards,
