Note: In V-Ray, the two tools that most greatly impact the balance of render quality vs. speed are the Image Sampler (under the Sampler tab) and GI engine(s) (under the GI tab). Learning the basics of how these two features work will greatly enhance your ability to adjust settings in V-Ray and maximize image quality while keeping render times to a minimum. See the linked pages for explanations on how these features work.
