In global Terms the political energy increase has nothing to do with Poser, Like I mentioned before, we are making here some statistical tests. But this is another job! After using Superfly the other day " For the First Time " to test it I noticed a Power increase of 3KWH . Due the setup of the statistics the house system is measuring activities ( Might be a coincidence ) So there was a high Increase of Power usage with this sort of rendering. Meaning if you just use it once in a while it would not hit you, but assuming you do every day then you would get a power increase of 270 Kwh every quarter resulting on the Power bill to be approx 108 $ more, in a year it would be 432 $ . I hope you get my point now. It is not meant to be a Instead of not using Poser as the difference is taken between usage with Firefly and Superfly so Superfly generates a Increase of 3KWH  a day.

It might be less using Optix I have not tested it jet, but reading the forums allot of users need to switch to CPU for certain renders in superfly as Optix is not always supported. Also the render of the Superfly clip measured a Increase of 3x more consummations then firefly .

For some or most it might not be an Impact, for others it is if it generates 432$ more on your power bill a year If we had like Americans just 12c a KWH then sure no one would notice it and it would be affordable and only cost  129$ a year to Play with superfly.

As for a reminder that this thread is about a consumption increase and not for searching help on how to build up a render or setup a render. It is to see the differences between Firefly and Supoerfly on your computer Konsumation, It is not to say witch does a better job on end results as this is a Individual taste of the user and depending what the render is used for.  Also it is not meant to make any critiques on how your render will be ending up as each of the two have there advantages and disadvantages, there both part of Poser. It literarily is trying to show the difference of time and energy usage .  For some it might be worth a thought for others that have not to worry about there bills do not have to think about it , it will sure not hit there budgets. It is not a loss to save as you could spend energy savings on assets you buy for poser.
