First render test on new laptop
-
Finally got a new laptop. Here is the result of my first render test. 15 minutes. 400 passes. The brass lattice on the wall would have caused my old laptop have taken 4-6 hours at best.
Not a perfect render. Just a test. Model from the Warehouse. No mods or fixes.
Almost no aliasing. Wow.

Thanks for the info.

...ja, good news! -
at some point in "this game" there always comes a point where we have to catch up with our computers. -
A 16x to 32x speed boost is some leap.
Its a good time to move to 20xx or 30xx nVidia GPUs with the 40xx announcement.
Looking forward to seeing that Nadesico Cruiser getting some path tracing love!

Good to see you up and running on the new machine . Looking forward to new work
-
Thanks everyone!
I will be putting it into production by this weekend. I'm waiting on a new dock and then adding all the plug-ins I use, back to SU. My old dock only works on the old laptop. It's an old click mount dock.
New dock has the USB C that I need.

Already got a scene in mind!

1000 samples (passes) in 24 minutes. My... my head hurts.
I put a little more effort into this render and changed the lighting settings, which made it run even faster.

Real progress from the first post. Me likey!

Thanks ntxdave!
-
Excellent start with the new machine
-
Thanks tuna!
Again, these are just test renders. I see problems with both, but this is just to get an idea of what the new PC can do.

You are clearly on the fast track mate.

Thanks Mike!
Just got it set up with the new dock and it is now my desk production PC. The old one s going to the bedroom for late night YouTube.
Still need to load all the plug-ins back to SU and do some other tweaking, but the hard parts are done.

After a full week of testing and configuring the new laptop, here is the update.
