Hi anwar522, please be patient - we don't work 24 hours a day

1) GTX 670 2gb Upgrade good option for rendering in Lumion ?

Yes, it's a good option (just steer clear of Nvidia Quadros and AMD Firepro cards):

2) Can i apply all my textures on 3ds Max & Import in Lumion without any problems ? Does this include transparent glass And chrome all in Standard Materials ? ?

Please read this thread first:

You'll have to add glass materials manually in Lumion as transparency is not transferred from 3DS Max. You will also have to adjust the reflectivity of chrome materials manually (Apply a Standard material in Lumion and increase the Reflectivity slider value).

3) What could be a minimum frame time considering HD reso animation with Specs

That depends on how complex your scene is, how many lights you use etc. There's more information here:
