Alienware render problem... (RESOLVED)

[StannyStanny]

Recently acquired an Alienware laptop with i7 with RTX 3060 and right away the Iray renders took way too long and are very grainy. While my desktop PC with i7 CPU and rtx1080 is much better and faster.

I tried adjusting the render setting exactly like my desktop but still no go.

Any help would be amazing...

There's your answer. A laptop 3060 is never going to hang with a desktop class GPU. That goes for any GPU in a laptop. They're all tuned way down to keep heat under control.

Desktops, provided proper cooling, don't have this issue. As there's larger, and often more, fans to cool everything. Whereas everything in laptops is basically shared.

OH, I think I figured it out. My GPU was not being used for some weird reason and had to download an old Nvidia driver if anyone is having an issue with the new DAZ 4.21.
