CANT USE Force

I have another thread going regarding the way to improve the performance of iRay renders, but I am more interested in how to improve dForce performance as outlined below...

Lets assume that I am happy with performance I have rendering iRay images with my current machine, and to be honest, its actually not a big deal having to wait for a render to complete. What would I need to improve upon to be able to use Dforce with a reasonable performance. Right now there is no point in even attempting to use this technology, so obviously I need to increasse the performance of my machine, or get another that will do the job. Again, I dont need some hugely expensive computer, but I am prepared to pay for something that will allow me to use Dforce at a reasonable speed.

dForce isn't dependent on nVidia GPUs, it will work with any GPU that suports a high-enough OpenCL version (and there are drivers for Intel CPUs too). There isn't much you can do to improve prformance, other than limiting the items it has to simulate (either turn off Visible In Simulation for the tiems you don't need to simulate or collide with, or select the items you do want to simulate and the items you want the simulated items to collide with and then use the Simulate Selected command from the Simulation Settings pane's option menu - the lined button in the top corner, or right-click the tab).
