I decided I wanted to do a little research on what my computer does while I'm working in Daz.
Just playin' around a little, see what I could come up with...
First things first, gotta set up the scene. that's not very taxing on anything:
Now, we simulate (it's only the hair, but it takes it a few minutes):
Then, when that's all [kinda] finished (come on, are ANY of our renders truly 'finished'?), there's the 'pièce de résistance',
the render:
The computer is the only thing plugged into this UPS.
Gigabyte Z690 w/12th gen core i9, 64GB ddr5
RTX 3080 ti 12GB, 2TB SSD
Everything else is plugged into a smaller one.
At one point, I tried to overclock, and the UPS literally shut my computer down because it was using too much power. That is an experience I never want to repeat, since it cost me most of a day's work on that mistake. I save a lot more than once or twice a day anymore because of that one.
A lot more!
