  We examine the effect of different radiative transfer schemes on the
properties of 3D simulations of near-surface stellar convection in the
superadiabatic layer, where energy transport transitions from fully convective
to fully radiative. We employ two radiative transfer schemes that fundamentally
differ in the way they cover the 3D domain. The first solver approximates
domain coverage with moments, while the second solver samples the 3D domain
with ray integrations. By comparing simulations that differ only in their
respective radiative transfer methods, we are able to isolate the effect that
radiative efficiency has on the structure of the superadiabatic layer. We find
the simulations to be in good general agreement, but they show distinct
differences in the thermal structure in the superadiabatic layer and
atmosphere.
