I have one important question, how important is CUDA rendering to you guys? because I can actually get an older version of Cinema 4D from my uncle. He is retired now and has no use for it again, I think its R12 which is still very good to this day and its not THAT old. And if I upgrade it, should cost me way less than buying a new one aswell.
Do you guys do fine without CUDA rendering? I have a core i3 which is 4 threads. But I know for a fact CUDA renders insanely fast.
