Finally upgraded my 1050TI 4G to a 3060 12G... BIG difference in what I can do now. Rerendering all my scenes for the third time... LMAO... ah well, at least this time around the improvement is huge... more details, much faster renders. This scene took me two mins to render with denoising on and 200 iterations (don't need more with denoising) and all my texture resolutions at full (before I had to reduce them).
This is my old scene, took me 5-10 mins to render with textures at half the resolution and much of the scene geometry hidden or removed to make room in my VRAM to do it with denoising...

And this is the new scene with all scene geometry enabled and textures at full resolution with denoising... under 2 mins to render this... (I also enabled field of view on the camera which I didn't have on before)...
