My Desktop Specs

i7-9700 CPU @ 3.00GHz

RTX 2080 SUPER 8GB VRAM

16GB RAM

My Laptop Specs

i5-13420H

RTX Mobile 4050

16GB RAM

Desktop took 13 minutes and 28 seconds to render the same exact image with the same exact render settings, there was no other application open, the laptop finished in just 11 minutes and 39 seconds. How is this possible?

Here is the rendered image side by side. First Image below is with the RTX 2080 SUPER, and the last one right below it was with my laptop with the RTX Mobile 4050. Yet benchmark websites say the RTX 2080 SUPER is much better, it should have rendered it quicker right?

The only other thing I can say is I rendered the scene on my laptop many times before but not on the same day, I already reset the laptop to start this test to see which would render quicker, I don't know if Daz stores any data of the scene for future renders if that made an impact or not.

thats all i know as for specs, the cpu isn't anything special just enough for gaming. i used this pc to play old games from 2017 and league

This Is my monitor, I think my room is kind of bright, the screen is glossy is it best to turn off the lights.

This will only be for Daz3D. I will have 5 Genesis 8 characters in the scene, stages will be small.

What motherboard, PSU, GPU, CPU, and cooler am I choosing? I am not doing any 3delight work, just iray only. I plan on upgrading the build later.

I have 2 monitors, 1 for Daz3D, the other is for YouTube. 2 Applications will be open Daz3D and Microsoft Edge.

IS IT TIME TO SELL, ARE WE SINKING INTO THE OCEAN, IS THE COMPANY COLLASPING, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON

Daz3D has some of the most realistic lighting and models I've seen. But I don't need it that realistic, I am fine if the renders look like something from a video game like Grand Theft Auto V for example if that speeds up the render time significantly.

What can I do? I don't want to lower the resolution. I need the render detail to look this good.

this already looks really realistic, and it is rendered in real time. Why can't I get Daz3D to do something like this?

Even if its for something like MikuMikuDance, or Xnalara pose studio, I can convert the model.

I want to make a 8 directional fighting game, either fantasy or realistic, could be a futuristic space station which I am looking for, or outdoors or inside a hospital or a prison.

where can I find these?

I don't know if having more vram will make it go any faster. What am I looking at then upgrading to speed up the renders, so I hear iray can just use GPU only and CPU speed/cores has nothing to do with speeding up the renders.

RAM usage never hit 100%, but I notice if I use reddit while I have daz3d running it will be very slow to use reddit or do anything online, youtube will not work well.

Am I looking at possibly increasing the amount of cuda cores in my GPU and clock speed?

This has been my dream for a very long time, 10 years. Now I have finally thousands of dollars saved up, and time on my hands.

I want him to be 7 feet tall, and although movement will be limited, I at least want him to be able to move his arms, fingers so he can hold a sword. arms can just rotate upwards or downwards, I don't need him to be like a action figure.

He will be holding a giant sword, so I need him to be stable, and I probably will want to make a stand for him or have him lean against a wall. What is this going to take?

I got the money to eventually get myself a Samsung Odessey, I can't right now, but I really need a monitor for the short term, and I can just sell it when I'm done with it anyways.

Is this any good for the money? $175 right now

It will be for rendering, and also animation.

I'm not using it to game competitively, so I want it to look the best. my budget is $300, I would like a 27" Monitor. 1080P is fine, since my renders are not higher than 1080P.

I will be rendering with a RTX 2080 Super.

$550, it's a Alienware PC fully functional with cords, RTX 2080 Super, 16GB Ram, Intel Core i7-9700 @ 3.00GHz (8-core processor), 850W Power supply, 512gb SSD, and a 1TB hard drive.

I asked him if I can see it play a game, he agreed. I will power it on the pictures looked clean. Should I do it? I don't want to miss out on a good deal, idk if it's a good deal but I've been without a gaming PC for years.

You never know what it's been through, heavy gaming for who knows how long.

Depending on how old the card is, what would you guys pay for a used GPU? Is the GTX 1080 still a decent card for today

I have removed any visible poop, the PC is very dusty, and I can see some stains from the pee when they peed inside the PC. They got inside the PC case long time ago.

I sprayed isopropyl alcohol all over the PC case, removed any poop. Am I in the clear, or is this still a possible health hazard?

I was debating on throwing away the entire PC, but it's too expensive

I have been diagnosed with Schizophrenia, how am I going to afford these medications if I work at Mcdonalds?

I hallucinated, and had delusions already 2 times, I have been to the mental hospital 3 times already, and I don't know how many more of these I'm going to go to in the future.

I did not expect to go to the mental hospital 3 times.

What I did was go all in with leverage on the largest company in the world Nvidia, I was borrowing twice the money I already had.

Up almost $7,000 since I started this, and still holding. I didn't beat the S&P 500 and I will only be satisfied if I beat it.

16GB DDR4 RAM

512GB SSD, and I have 100GB free space

RTX 4050 Laptop GPU This is a laptop and has 6GB of dedicated VRAM.

and an 13th Gen Intel i5-13420H it has 2.10Ghz

No tabs open, Daz3d is the only thing running at it was a very simple scene, 2 characters, and 1 small room.

I get 99% of the time you got a chill passenger, but it's that 1% you never know.

Of course everybody has to work, and deciding not to because of a situation that most of the time won't happen shouldn't prevent anyone from working, there are things you can do.

For example, if the rider is already making threats before you pick them up, it's best to cancel, any red flags cancel the ride.

And just make sure the rider knows you have a dash cam for your safety.
