Darkwing Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 So for the first time in ever, I have a pretty decent PC. 3.5ghz Intel i7 quadcore, 16gb ram, 2gb nvidia graphics card. So how come my render for AM still takes 5 minutes? And I'm not rendering anything all that intense BTW. Furthermore, when I pop open task manager, it's only using like tops 15% of my resources. My PC is set to high performance and I gave AM realtime priority in task manager, but that hasn't caused AM to use any more resources. Is this as good as it gets for AM's processing power? Or am I missing something (cause I don't really know much about getting a computer to run at peak efficiency)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted June 13, 2014 Hash Fellow Share Posted June 13, 2014 I'm going to guess 15% represents one of your 8 hyperthreads (four cores plus four fake cores) fully committed to A:M plus whatever else the system is doing. A:M uses one core. I don't know what you're rendering so 5 mins may be fast If you are rendering animation, NetRender will put frames out to all available cores and use them all. NetRender is great for using all of a multicore system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
