Hi everyone i got a new pc for rendering in autodesk maya

CPU: intel core 17 4770k
RAM : 16gb 1866mhz corsair vengeance dual channel
GPU: Nvidia quadro K2200 2gb
MOTHERBOARD: asus Z97k
HDD : 7200 RPM

the render time is taking too long
old pc is very old one it takes about 1hr 25 mins for a single frame
The new spec takes about 45 mins for a single frame

the rendering artist tells me that the maya settings are default blah blah i know everything no mistakes kinda thingy

This is not my personal pc i got it for the office im working in pls help me ill be thrown out they have invested money on this
 
Solution
I don't really know anything about Autodesk Maya, but my guess is that it uses quite a bit gpu power. Thus your Quadro K2200 is insufficient.
You probably don't want to use huge amount of money on new Quadro, so instead you could get something like GTX960. While it's for gaming, it's still more powerful than that old Quadro. Letting you to render much faster if the program is a gpu power hog.

If it's more cpu bound, then the only thing you could do is get an Xeon/i7 with 8 cores or more. (16 threads or more)

its not exactly straight forward but yes you should specifically switch to GPU renderer within maya (research) and get new nvidia gpu. Render times will be much faster tho you have to watch out for VRAM (4GB for GTX 980)
