What is a good speed for a render?
[What is a good speed for a render] Considering some background objects, 3 genesis and genesis 2 level main figures and two low-rez background figures.
On a system with two SLI-linked GTX1070's, 32G RAM and Intel I7....should a single-frame Iray render with nothing else running in the background take 15 minutes?
I wonder what I'm doing wrong. I thought this system shouldn't be so slow.

Try disabling SLI for Ds (I don't hae a twin-GPU system, but I believe you can do this in the driver settings). Iray does not use SLI and can be impeded if it is on.
Very much a "how long is a piece of string" question. Render speed is affected by a lot of things — your graphics cards (twin 1070s are good, but as mentioned SLI and Iray don't mix well), whether the materials on your objects are 3Delight or Iray, whether you're using proper Iray lighting or 3Delight, texture sizes, whether your Genesis figures or their clothes/props have SubD applied... it's a long list.
I would expect a simple scene with a couple of genesis three figures and some props scattered around to be quick unless it's inside a totally enclosed space (then you have to deal with lighting and bounces, takes longer to converge). With my single 1070GTX I would think well under 10 minutes. 15 with two cards is long I think. Richards suggestion on disabling SLI is probably the thing to do.
