V-Ray has become a benchmark for speed used by many hardware vendors and other renderer developers to test against. Richest set of features, cost-effective and production-ready

As for price, it lies somewhere in the "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" category. There are a lot of different extensions and servers and such. but if you want enough product to produce a game, you should count on spending about $9,500. It sounds like a lot, but you do get quite a bit for your money. You not only get a commercial-quality 3D engine, but you get a complete game-authoring environment, web-player, and a half-dozen company support options. Even if you budget your time at a few bucks an hour, the development environment and support will likely level the playing field over cheaper solutions.
