Suppose you want 150 pixels per inch (you really want 300 PPI for a sharp image but let's go with 150) 24 * 150 is 3600 36 * 150 is 5400 So your image is 3600 by 5400 pixels. A total of 19,440,000 pixels.
Now some images clean up faster than others. A reasonable guess is somewhere between 500 and 5000 samples per pixel.
So you may need 19.44 million * 5000 samples which is 97.2 billion samples.
I don't know what your hardware can do. Suppose it can do 1 million samples per second. That would come out to 27 hours.
My hardware is way slower than that.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
