After many tests with tile sizes, with both my CPU and newly downloaded Nvidia Geoforce GPU version 380 something… and comparing with the results in the video; I’ve come to the conclusion that my computer basically sucks.
Most of these renderings are estimating more than 30 minutes if not an hour or more, as well as being completely random based on what seems to be my computer’s mood… I’m not that patient unfortunately!
Anyone else have alternative suggestions for speeding this thang up??? … My tested renderings below…
