render should be 512 iterations max for my settings, and 128 if I want to be lazy, with 256 about in the middle, everytime you want a bit more smoothness, you have to double the number, I just happen to use base 2 numbers because I've memorized them for many things.
you can animate various camera locations, setting, and poses if you really need to automate the process. you can even use command lines to run blender in the background (ie I can drag and drop blender files into one folder, click a batch function, and it opens up the blend files and batch renders them into folders for me... I don't often use this however)
Yeah, but if I buy like nvidia geforce rtx 4090 24gb, how munch render time will decrease? I use now CPU for renders, cuz I have 2gb gpu.
I don't use Blender much outside of practice (trying to learn animating in Blender, but it's a slow process as life is pretty busy for me.), but speaking as someone who's just recently upgraded from a 3080 to a 4090, it's far, far faster. So, I can only imagine how much faster it'll be compared to something with 2GB of VRAM. The extra VRAM is a gamechanger, but the speed is just different. I'd say it's at least 60% faster in Daz (than the 3080), and Blender/Cycles with the right settings can render much quicker than Daz/Iray can.
upgrading from a 2GB GPU is definitely worthwhile. But a 4090 is expensive and I doubt you can just plonk it into your current setup. So you'd need a whole new PC. Maybe look at the second hand market? Get something within your budget for now that also works with your setup. Any newer generation and increase in VRAM will work wonders.
You'll do perfectly fine with 3090, you can get those at real nice prices now. Rendering with CPU is terrible both for your CPU and motivation.
How do you render characters under 10 min? Like when i put character in envrioment, it takes around 1 hour and half. I also have 1060 graphic card. How did you render in 10 min characters with 1060?
Do you have a 1060 or a 2GB GPU? 1060s weren't available in a 2GB variant.
I think it's pretty highly contextual in the sense of the quality that's being rendered. For someone like me/Ocean/of the like, a 4090 is far quicker than a 3090 would be, but for someone like OP it'll be plenty fast.
Are you watercooling them? Been looking at eventually going that route, but I don't have the time nor do I wanna to fuck with assembling it or maintaining it.
I had a 1070 and 2070 running for a while air-cooled which worked ok. (although I had a regular room fan pointed at the intake to help cool it.
I mean, realistically, I'd probably be close to building another system. My MB is on the lower-end, and only has one slot. Which means I'd need a new CPU (and/or motherboard upgrade). And if I'm running another GPU, that probably means another PSU (which is something I probably should've thought about before going with a 1300W one, tbh.), too.
I had 710, then upgrade it to 1060, i think its 2gb because when I have scenes where is used more than 2gb, It says error system ran out of memory. So I can only use gpu for scenes where is lower than 2gb, but its still slowet than cpu. I have i3 3100 cpu something.
That sounds more like a system memory warning and not VRAM, but could be wrong. How much system memory (RAM) do you have?
Like 32gb RAM. Never had that issue when using cpu, but when i use gpu, it says above 2gb system is out of memory.
Get a RTX 3060 or a 4070. They have plenty of vram and are both relatively affordable. Your computer will be fine as long as your psu supports up to around 500 watts.
I agree water cooling would be the best option. But if you are not looking forward to the maintenance of water cooling. something like this might work if not ideal. (as I said you probably don't want fans in the case as they might turn into generators doing damage to the board.) But the airflow and cool air would take away a massive amount of heat probably rivalling any water cooled setup.
Again, it's impossible for a 1060 to have less than 3GB of RAM. If you're getting errors, it might be a driver problem, software configuration problem, or a damaged card. You should probably figure out why your card isn't performing to spec. If it's damaged, you'll need to replace it obviously, but if it's as slow as you say, then the RAM issues you're encountering aren't the only issues the card is having. It sounds like your card is only achieving about 30-40% of expected performance, given the experiences of others with the same card so far. If it's not worth it to you to try to fix it, then I guess you could just try to replace it. But if you're only able to use 2GB of the RAM and it's still under warranty, the least you could do is get your money back if you don't want to try to get it working properly.
