Great news! Thank you!

jarek2001, changing the Display/Preview Options from OpenGL to SreeD software (whatever SreeD is???) seemed to fix my issue. I suspect that the OpenGL that my new Intel itegrated graphics support will need some adjustment. But, thanks again for the solution!!!

Great! Happy rendering!

The 'HP Spectre' seems to be a laptop.

The new Intel's mobile integrated graphics (www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/?generation=Iris+Xe+Graphics-M&sort=generation) support OpenGL, there shouldn't be any issues with displaying Poser's UI. Bear in mind it does not support nVIDIA's CUDA.

Check your Poser's 'Display/Preview Drawing' setup. It can be toggled by 'Alt-Ctrl-O / Alt-Ctr-S'.

You may also uncheck 'Edit/General Preferences/Library/Indexing/Refresh on Launch' box.

Have some patience before the hitting power button, even when working under Win 10.

The GTX 1050Ti does not support SLI, anyway it is recommended to switch it off for 3D rendering.

Recommended PSU wattage refers to your complete system. Your GeForce GTX 1050 Ti draws just 75W max. Play with the power calculator - add / change the GPU and compare the results. See your system power demand without a discrete GPU (presuming it will use the in-built processor graphic controller).

For GPU 3D rendering you should be looking for a GPU with max. number of CUDA cores (shading units), max. graphic memory and min. power demand. Adding another 32GB RAM to your motherboard will not help your GPU(s).

Talking with your retailer before spending any money would definitely be a good idea.

Actually, you don't add these figures. The recommended PSU wattage to supply your system is just 250W. The online calculator suggests a 450W unit.

Your PSU is an overkill that leaves plenty room for upgrade. Staying within a very very safe margin, say 50% of PSU load of 350W (50%x700W) gives you a 100W (350W-250W) room. However, having a closer look at your PSU specs, I wouldn't recommend crossing a 60% load margin (leaving up to ~200W room for upgrade). Seems like your system has a capacity to support 2x medium-range graphic cards.

Moreover, as you have already noticed, your Intel i5-8600K processor has its own graphic processor. Your display can be setup to use it thus freeing your discrete GPU for rendering purposes only.

yw, have fun!

Most of PC PSU calculators estimates my whole built recommended PSU wattage at around 650W. Like yours, my power supply is a quality brand unit. Play with outervision.com/power-supply-calculator or bequiet.com/en/psucalculator to see what PSU wattage would be recommended for your project. Note that I use two second-hand medium-range GPUs from 2014 rated at 150W max. each, while the display GPU is rated at 20W max.

One can have even three GPUs lined up on a regular motherboard: 2x for rendering (remember to switch off SLI, if the bridge is present) and 1x for display (remember to disable CUDA, if it is another discrete nVidia card). My power supply is a 750W Corsair, btw.

I back up all my important files to externals routinely. :)

Always better than no back up at all. Good luck then!

Dream9Studios,

Why don't you simply clone the old drive?

Btw, it's time to back-up everything! An easy way is to create a drive or selected partition(s) image(s).

Back-up images can be used to restore it's content to the new drive, as an alternative to cloning.

@ghostship2 Thank you!

Great render! I do feel warmer! What's the name of the leftmost character, pls?

Thanks apd001!
