Well it seems one cannot render fast enough.  I've been thinking about upgrading my i7 920 from late 2008; now I'm not as sure as before.  This thread will hopefully be for people to post their hardware setup (ram/mobo/cpu/overclock speed (if applicable) CS version number and render time.

There's a sample Adobe after effects project here:

The results of the fastest time are here (in Deutsche, just for you)

For reference, my pc is running an Asus P6T, 12GB ram, Windows 7 64 bit, i7 920 @ 3.38 GHZ (overclocked), crappy video card, AE CS6
My time was 83 seconds no matter if I allocated 4 threads or 8 to it.

Seems ram makes a HUGE part of rendering. 

There's a I7 3930K w/64GB ram that did it in 41 seconds.
Same I7 3930K w/32GB; 56 seconds.  20GB?  82 seconds (but I'm not convinced he was doing it right)

Hell there's an i7 980 w/24GB that did it in 49 seconds.  My mobo supports a 980 chip.


Still pouring over the results - keep in mind there's lots of "tweaks" you can do to AE6 in the multiprocessor section; I'm not surprised mine is the fastest as I've tweaked the settings.


Please share your results.

Well I bought a new i7 4770k cpu + mobo and I have this test render down to about 50 seconds.

Since I kept both of them, yesterday I came home and had both machines rendering for me at the same time.  What a time saver!
