in your opinion is lux render a good tool for rendering animations? like sintel?
link to sintel: (if you don't know what it is)

also, I aim to render a lot using GPU and since I've got an AMD card, cycles isn't an option for me right now. could luxrender compare to cycles on gpu rendering?
is it true that small lux gpu 2 is now fully integrated with the newest realese of luxrender?
the 7950 3gb that I ordered would arrive soon. I can't wait.

No. To render decent animations in Lux you need a LOT (i mean it -- a LOT) of computing power. Moreover, animations like Sintel rely heavily on layers rendering and post-production, and the former is very limited in Lux. Lux is a simulation of a physical camera, you should think of it like that.

Cycles is a pure GPU renderer, Lux is a CPU or Hybrid renderer -- it's always CPU-bound. If you need something on par with Cycles but with AMD GPU support, use SLG.

If you have CPU-cycles to spare, and you want Lux-render render quality: by all means.
If you want postproccessing, hmmm things get tricky.

Really depends on what you need / want...

But in general, the advise is NO :)
