Upgrade RAM for faster Rendering? We test it in Blender (hell yea!)
A short experiment to test how upgrading RAM affects rendering performance in Blender's cycles ray tracing engine. There are lots of things to consider when trying to speed up rendering, including upgrading hardware.
Thought it would be cool to see how different amounts of RAM affect cycles' rendering performance :)
