Rendering upgrade minimal

[mikeyboyart]

I upgraded a gtx 650 to a gtx 1080 and a 1k power supply, it still takes the same time to render a test pic....geez very disappointing. Any ideas?

The majority of renderers are cpu only. What are you using?

the program is Bryce 7. intel core i7 lga2011 3.2 gigs 12 M 6 core/12 threads. Asus intel x79 chipset lga2011 8dimm 4pcle3.0 ATX Samsung 500gb 2.5 Sata lll TLC internal ssd 840 series. Western Digital Green 2TB SATA 6 GB/s 64MB Intelli Power. Kingston 8gb DDR3 memory (4x8GB=32 GB). Windows 7. 64 bit...I thought it would be faster on the rendering with the new card and power but...meh. Thanks for your response!

That's something I haven't seen someone use in a long time. They did drop support for it awhile back and it is only cpu rendering. The new gpu is useless for rendering. You might want to switch to a more modern software but whatever works for you is best.

You did not need a 1kw psu for a 1080 and you lose a lot of efficiency for oversizing. You can run that on a 550w. I'd suggest you post here before spending any money on future upgrades.

Bryce 7? Nowadays everyone uses 3DS Max and Maya, a few others too..
And it is CPU only.

ok, thanks for the input, live and learn, I know the program is ancient, like me, lol, but I do have fun with it, except for the waiting. looking into Adobe After Effects for my overkill, lol. Cheers!

Adobe After Effects is video editing, nothing to do with 3D Modeling and animation. Is it for something else?

I know, I used to use those but they were too complicated and frustrated the hell outa me. Thanks for your answer.
Nope, just Bryce mostly, I feel like a lost soul here, lol. Thanx.
