Render Never as good as zBrush

Hello everybody. This is my first post.
I’ve been working with Maya since 2003 but i’m fairly new to zBrush. I love it! And I love it even more now with GoZ.
First. When I import the models to Maya with Normal Maps and Displacement Maps and render them… The result is never as good as it looks in zBrush.
Why is this? I render using MentalRay. I loose quality in the bump and displacement. It never looks as sharp as zBrush. I allways end up exporting my models with full resolution ( around 2 million polys) to Maya and render the highres version. This is really heavy for maya ofcourse. Even for my 8-Core Mac Pro with 16GB Ram and RAID setup. I want my renders to look as good as they look in zBrush. What am I doing wrong? Is it that my Maps aren’t good enough or is it the setting on the mental ray render that it’s cousing this?
I also wonder how to change the resolution of the MAPS they are allways 2k where do I increase this.

These renders were made from the highres version. I’ll upload new renders from the lowres version with normal and displacement maps.

You have to configure mental ray shaders the right way.

Ok. Thanks. But can you be mord specific?
