Rendering Times are amazing!

I've been working on Daz for about 3 years now.  I found my laptop I used when I started my journey.  It was a gaming PC with an RTX1050 graphics card.  I found an old scene (not that complicated) with 2 figures.  I decided to render the scene using my laptop.  It took 2 hours and 8 minutes.

I took the exact same scene and rendered it on my new workstation (16 core, 128GB Ram and GEForce 3090).  It took 2 minutes and 11 seconds. 

It's amazing.  For anyone serious, think of upgrading your system.  It is well worth it!

    I would hope since you have a high end 3090, LOL

    and now even the 4080 systems are not all that bad. I just blew a great deal on a system with Windows 11 Pro, 64gig DDR5 ram, 3080 GPU, intel i9-12900k CPU for $2000. Still a chunk of change, but not bad

    No RTX 1050 to be found on google, sure you don't mean GTX 1050 ?  My old GTX 1070 is pretty fast though, a scene that takes over 2 hours on CPU renders in about 4 minutes with the GPU.

    Well, I'm sorry to say, if you use below settings, your old 1050 can do the same render in few minutes.

    Yeah, I saved up for nearly a year for mine, but it was well worth it!

    I think it depends on the complexity of the scene and the size of the image.  This was a someone complex scene with 3 characters.  Because I didn't try those settings yet, I will take your word for it.

    Maybe.  It may be a GTX and not an RTX (probably a mis-type).  For me, it's not the render time as much as it is the posing lag that occurs.  I love my new set up because I can generally set up a scene pretty quickly.  Plus, I'm having great success with the Genesis 9 characters.  They're still a little pricey but with some of the morphs (plus you can use most of the genesis 8 clothes, hair, etc) but they seem use less memory.  Of course I could be making it all up in my head because I really like the textures.

    I like to go into "Surfaces" and make some changes as well.  Light skin can become darker.  Dark skin can become lighter.  Adding moisture to the skin.  It can be so satisfying.

    I always render with the GPU.  This has caused me issues because if the memory on the card gets overloaded (at least in past versions of Daz) the program crashes, and if I didn't save the scene before I start the render I lose everything.

    Still have fun with it though.

    This made me laugh out loud (literally).  Tell it that it's still a loyal and good machine.

    How's the energy use and heat output on the 3080?  The 3090 can be a resource hog on the system.

    are you rendering scenes in Iray, 3Delight, Octane, Luxrender?

    Crashing because running out of VRAM on the GPU is not common, but crashing because one is running out of RAM comes out pretty often.
