    The graphic card, as dForce engine uses graphic card. However, even with a 4090, a wrong or bad setup of dForce dynamic surface properties, intersection with collision items, the number of dForce item esp. with smoothing iterations, even the mesh of dforce items, etc. might also lead to long time of simulation....

    So first of all, better leanr how to wisely set up a dForce simulation, unless you really need a better graphic card for multiple purposes...IMHO.

    I see. Thank you for the info

     

    Btw can dforce utilize multiple GPUS?

    AFAIK, it only utilizes one GPU.

    I don't think the graphics card contributes a lot to Dforce simulation

    when a driver and DAZ studio version issue arised and nobody could use their Nvidia cards for it quite a while back I noticed little difference using OpenCL on my iGPU

    Driver issues for Iray would niot affect dForce, they use different APIs (CUDA vs OpenCL) - geenrally a GPU will be faster than a CPU.

    OP, it would probably be a good idea to list your current hardware.

    GPU for sure. Going from a 3070TI to a 4090 helped a lot. Dforce is kinda bad though, prone to explosions for some reason. I usually end up simulating in marvelous designer or blender, because it's a lot more stable.
