GPU

  So, IF your computer has a GPU, in render settings an option will appear above “render settings” in “system” if you see it, select device “GPU” you may need to select your device yourself, this is all very niche keep in mind. Not every one will have a Graphics Processing unit, most will have to render using just their CPU. Which is slow, I’m running a AMD Ryzen 7 2700x and it still takes really long to render using CPU. 13:58:08 From Marian McBride : Okay cool, thanks for letting me know dude!

Rendering at 36 seconds, but there is more noise so I’m going to play with that 16:37:18 From Matthew Colter : yeah, I had that happen too. 16:37:22 From Matthew Colter : bumping up AA might help? 16:42:53 From Parker Watson : I just lost all my audio 16:43:09 From Parker Watson : My headphones died
