A desktop RTX 2080 Super is rendering slower than my laptop with a Mobile RTX 4050

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.

The Incomplete Chloe

A project I worked on a while back that I never got to finish.

Somehow, I misplaced the original files and completely lost track of the character model I used to create her. I’ve tried going back through old installs and archives, but no luck. At this point, I honestly don’t think I’ll ever be able to recreate her properly.

It’s strange getting attached to something that technically never even became “complete,” but this character always stood out to me for some reason. Maybe because she felt more human unfinished than most of my polished renders ever did.

So I guess she’ll always just be: “The Incomplete Chloe.”

Building a custom PC for Daz3D with a $2,000 budget. Any recommendations.

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.

Rendering Via GPU?

So I normally leave both CPU and GPU checked while rendering but my CPU runs pretty hot sometimes, more than I'm comfortable with. My GPU is water cooled and doesn't really seem to heat up as bad. Would it be better to render via the GPU and just leave the CPU unchecked?

I have an i9-14900KF and a GeForce RTX 4090

What can we do if we want 1080P Renders but don't need daz3D to look so realistic?

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?

My scenes never exceed more than 6GB of VRAM, does it make no sense to increase my VRAM then?

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?

Help! Turbo Loader broke my most-used character!

Recently I purchased Turbo Loader for Genesis 9 (https://www.daz3d.com/turbo-loader-for-genesis-9) with the intent of improving the time it takes to load new figures into a scene. Not only did I not see a difference in load time, but Turbo Loader broke my most-used character.

I have him saved as a scene subset, and when I load him into a new scene, everything is fine. But when I try to load any of my old scenes that contain that character, his main morph is disabled.

I have tried everything I can to reset things to the way they were before I installed Turbo Loader, but no matter what I do, the character morph will not load correctly on existing scenes. Since this is my most-used character, this issue has effectively broken 1000+ scenes (no, that is not an exaggeration).

Sure, I could load him back into every individual scene, but that would take nearly 200 hours of work (10 minutes to fix each scene times about 1100 scenes). Has anyone run into an issue like this? If so, how do I fix it? I've had a support ticket open and unanswered for several days, and I'm tearing my hair out trying to get this resolved.

I have tried resetting the content database, reinstalling the affected morph, re-importing metadata, and using the "Reset Content Directories" + "Reset Morph Directories" in Turbo Loader Manager. (I have also restarted Daz after each fix and tested scenes to see if the issue was resolved) Nothing worked.

I combed through my log files, and I did find this error mentioning the broken morph (it's 3 morphs for the same product):

If anyone can help me with this, I would really appreciate it. I'm trying everything I can (including commenting on the Youtube channel of the Turbo Loader creator to see if he notices)

Why is kissing so difficult to pull off?!

As the title says, I have the hardest time with kissing poses. Sometimes they work but I always nitpick little details.

Render is some Uncharted canon/OC stuff I'm doing.
