Thanks Jura, I downloaded the GPU-Z application and was impressed with all the information that it provided about my graphics card. It will take some time for me to digest most of the information it provided but it gives me a good starting point and reference material for comparison purposes. I am happy with the Poser OpenGL. I was just wanting to boost the performance and wondering if buying a higher end graphics card would accomplish this. I just upgraded my machine to incorporate Flash Memory but my testing showed no noticeable difference. So now I am now going to try to upgrade my graphics card to see if that would help. Based on the input from the forum and my own gut feeling is that it really will.

Hi there

SSD will help you if yours Runtime is on SSD or if yours Poser Pro is installed on SSD

SSD is first thing what I recommend to upgrade just for faster boot and better performance overall,although I've all my Runtimes on my normal HDD I'm very happy with performance..

Regarding the GPU-Z,I use and have that opened during the rendering or preview and watching for behaviour and changes etc,its great monitoring free app

Boost performance in rendering is possible in preview not so much,have look I've Titan X and GTX 780 in one PC and difference between those two in rendering is not so big,few seconds to few minutes,but what Titan X do have is 12GB VRAM which only helps if I do large scenes and I do large scenes and renders,in preview mode there is zero difference with both cards,tried both cards and there I've seen no visible difference etc

What CPU do you have right now and how much RAM are you running ?

Getting better GPU,have look on GTX970 or GTX 1060 and if budget allows then GTX980Ti is best to get as Titan X is very overpriced,or if you can find older GTX Titan or Titan Black and GTX 780 6GB version

Hope this helps

Thanks,Jura
