Subject: Poser 11.3 rendering


wdohm ( ) posted Wed, 01 April 2020 at 5:23 AM · edited Wed, 08 January 2025 at 9:41 PM

I have installed the new Poser Version 11.3 on my PC (AMD Ryzen 7 1700, 32GB RAM, GTX1070 und RTX 2070) and tested the rendering. I rendered a scene with Vincent Bedroom without any other figures with the Superfly render engine:

rendering with:

Ryzen 7 1700: 187sec

GTX1070: 96sec

RTX2070: 302sec

GTX1070+RTX2070: 47 sec

There must be something wrong, the better card (RTX2070) needs many more time than the GTX1070.

Is there any idea?

v11.2 and earlier versions of Poser had a similar issue with GTX1080Ti, slow render time unless two cards used.

I just got an RTX 2060 Super. Having same issue where by itself is slower than an old GTX 980 like A LOT SLOWER. Useless by itself. Paired with the 980 it's only a bit faster than the 980 with a 970. Very dissapointed.

If you don't mind doing a speculative test it would be interesting to know if using the RTX 2060 via the queue manager improves the render time.

I've never used queue manager. It's a separate bit of software isn't it?

on my test image I had 1 figure, 1 clothing set, 1 hair model and for lighting I used the Envirosphere and two area lights. GTX980@256=2098.26 seconds GTX980+GTX970@256=1116.41 seconds RTX2060Super@256=after about 5500 seconds and about two thirds done I stopped the render RTX2060Super+GTX980@256=944.44 seconds RTX2060Super+GTX980@512=854.52 seconds I also tried the GTX by itself @512 tile size and it was running about 1 sample a second and the render settings were 2500 samples so the image still would have rendered slower than the 980 by itself. This REALLY needs to be fixed.

Not sure the problem occurs for everyone. I've don't own a card with this problem but do experience a crash with my 1070 if the render is too fast which suggests a possible synchronisation issue between Poser and the GPU, for example both sides are trying to access the shared memory at the same time (speculation). So in your case possibly adding the second card slows down the GPU side (speculation). The reason for the queue manager suggestion is that version of the render engine doesn't interact with the display so could have a different code path plus eliminates display driver and openGL interaction. The objective here is not to solve the problem but to have some evidence that helps decide if its a Poser or hardware issue. I doubt if this test will yield anything useful so not worth installing queue manager but I thought it worth posting the idea in case someone reading this has the slow render problem and already uses the queue manager.

I have the GTX980 running the display and the RTX card is just for rendering.
