Update - I have since found out that this was due to the resets the quality settings to default when rendering! Tried to delete this post but not sure how?

Hi

I was just looking at upgrading and did a quick simple speed test and found that my basic scene rendered a lot faster with Vray 2.0

Max 2011 Vray 2.0 Demo - 00:02:00  
Max 2011 Vray 1.5 SP5 Full - 00:03:32

This is roughly 40% faster

I rendered the same frames on the same computer 10 times and these times were consistant. Only basic materials were used not any of the new features so the scene was identical in 1.5 & 2 and GI but proves to me worth upgrading for speed alone. And maybe the full version will be a bit quicker?

I hope that helps people, anyone got any thoughts on this?

No you will need to un-install 1.5 first or the installer will do it for you.

Only if you install for different 3ds Max versions (e.g. 3ds Max 2010 and 3ds Max 2011, or 32-bit vs 64-bit version).

Best regards,
