Newer cards don't work with Superfly, AFAIK.

Wait, what?

What about them doesn't work? I'm working on putting together a parts list for a new build and would like to know what cards to avoid.

As for external drives, every one I've ever had just randomly dies on me within a year or two, sometimes just a couple months so I avoid them now. I'm guessing it has something to do with no cooling system in them. Don't know. I have one left that's been up on a shelf for about 2 years. Afraid to see if it still works so I just don't.

Poser's shoehorned version of Cycles doesn't support Turing (and probably never will), so not a single new NVIDIA card made after Pascal ceased production will work.

My current situation is that I have a 1070+970 for rendering, works great on small scenes, but a lot of what I do eats up ram like it's a buffet and my 970 just isn't cutting it anymore. So what do I do? I can't use any of the 20XX cards because they aren't supported and I can't buy a new 1070/1070ti/1080 for anything under $500 because of markup and how rare they're becoming.

What I'm thinking I should do is buy the 2070 Super whenever that comes out, and make the 1070 my primary rendering card. That way I have at least 7GB to work with and my main video card can drive the OS and everything else. I just really like the speed of two cards together, even with the weaker 970, both cards rendering go so much faster than the single 1070 and I'll miss that major time saver. :(
