>>> Someone on the team that wrote the code for Poser 13 might have enough knowledge to get close to optimum but how can we be sure what ever is used is optimum.  

That's what the render presets are meant to do. They give a starting point. It has been suggested several times that the OP should use Optix High render preset to cut down on render time. Heck, he can even start with OptiX Medium and use PostFX to get rid of the graininess if any exists. But instead of making any attempt to do so, he continues to harp on whatever settings he used to render SuperFly with CPU. If he was really interested in learning, he would have made an attempt at using OptiX since he has two compatible GPUs in his system. 

It is the user's choice to render in SuperFly with CPU. That is not Poser's fault. 

It is the user's choice not to take the advice of using OptiX rendering, since he has compatible hardware. That is not Poser's fault. 

It is the user's choice that he is having problems with his NVidia drivers. That is not Poser's fault. 

And this is why some have given up trying to give him advice.

I agree with that and I am also very thankful that someone who better understands what they are are doing has set up the presets other wise I would not know where to begin.  The point is they are a starting point and I am tweaking setting in areas I would never of dreamed of doing in Poser 12.  With so many such settings to play with getting a set up that you can compare with Firefly with the aim of working out which uses less electricity in a regular basis seems difficult if not impossible, assuming of course you care enough to spend the time working it out.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
