Hi - very new user on a very old subject thread...

Since purchasing and installing Poser 11 earlier this year, my scenes have gone from the utterly basic to some multi-character/prop renders that are beginning to take their toll on my PC (which was not originally purchased for this kind of use).

I don't mind renders taking a long time (I have a kettle and a TV after all) but I'm getting frustrated by the slow jerky 'glitchiness' I get when I'm just trying to roll cameras around in preview mode whilst setting up shots and poses etc.

My setup is:

•Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad / 2.2GHz x 4 •Graphics: 2GB Nvidia 710 •Memory: 8GB

I'm guessing that the Graphics card is what's causing my issue. At a glance, would anyone recommend that I look in this direction first - maybe upgrading to a 4GB or 6GB card?

Many thanks!

Hi RSK

Depends what figures are you using and how many are you using, props too depends which one are you using,most of figures have or using high polygons and if you add clothing and hair and this can slow down render or fluidity of scene navigation if you are using more figures

Usually or normally I use as max 3 to 4 figures and props ranging from simple to more complex but this depends and with my current setup this can slow down the scene fluidity if I use more complex props etc, usually I hide few figures or props and work on one by one figure, then unhide and then render

OpenGL in Poser is not the best, but saw worse examples, with some GPU like AMD or even Intel iGPU this can cause few issues or problems, same applies to Nvidia GPU

You can try use SREED which is using CPU than GPU if scene fluidity will be better or worse

Regarding upgrading yours PC, you will benefit from better CPU, habe look on something like is this:

Ryzen 2600(6 cores/12 threads) or 2700(8 cores/16 threads)

ASRock X470 or MSI X470 motherboard

16GB RAM if budget allows then 32GB is best to have

GTX1070 or GTX1070Ti is best option right now

Add SSD and you should be very happy

Going with X58 Xeon right now is just not worth it as these CPU doesn't offer better rendering experience or faster than these new CPU which will demolish easy these chips in rendering, been using for very long time X58 with X5675 or X5670 etc

If you are want to render in SuperFly then upgrading GPU is first thing what I would do, CPU is way too slow

If you have more questions please let me know, I posted several renders renders which I do in Poser SuperFly in Gallery over here

Hope this helps

Thanks, Jura
