@Nottravis If you want to upgrade your pc for work better, a graphic card is not the first thing you must buy to improve rendering.

If I'm not wrong, you had a 6gb 1060? It's enough, you should had a good cpu, because all rendering stuff is made by It, and your i3 (Did you have an i3? I don't remember very well) It's too soft for this kind of work.

A good gpu is good to play games, but to develop stuff, the main stone is a strong cpu.
As far as I know, you can choose whether to render with a GPU or a CPU, while the GPU is a lot faster. She has 2gb 1050 as I recall.

Your last sentence is only partly right. There are games that need not only a strong gpu but also a strong cpu. Especially when you go into the MMORPG segment you'll need both.

No.no. I'm looking to -upgrade- to a 6gb card! :)

All of this is done on a 2gb card at the moment which is why rendering is such a bitch. I have to -really- careful else daz defaults to CPU which is like a render a day...

But advice noted. Thank you.

I know, there are a lot of cpu demand games, specially in these years with ryzen and i7-9, but I didn't want to write more away than a simple advice. English isn't my native language so sometimes, write and develop about somethings is a pain in the ass for me so I have to specif my sentences and not develop them so much.

Then see my post as further elaboration. ;)
