Hello guys, as I mentioned in the title, I am faced with a very strange problem. When I render with CPU it is very slow, any help suggestions?

This my options: https://imgyukle.com/i/r15fwc

And here it is my video card LOG

    How much VRAM does your GPU have?

    6gb VRAM, laptop gpu

    That is just not enough.

    Practical minimum for the latest versions of DS, using relatively recent assets, is 8GB's of VRAM.

    What do you suggest I do? Is it useful to reduce 8k things to 4k with the scene optimizer?

    This is quite a common issue. When the scene is too big for the VRAM in your card it will fallback to CPU rendering - if you disable this option then there is no choice but to give you empty black nothingness.

    You either need to re-enable CPU fallback and wait the extra time, split the image up and render parts in stages and then combine the result in an image editor or use scene optimiser, camera view optimiser, resource saver shaders and/or other methods to reduce the resources required until it can fit in the VRAM of your card.

    Alternatively, you can pay for one of the cloud render services I suppose.

    One single 8k image takes 192MB's of RAM and with the default Iray compression settings 96MB's of VRAM, a 4k image takes 48MB's of RAM and 24MB's of VRAM.

    The baseload from Windows, DS, the scene and the needed "Working Space" are taking about 4GB's of VRAM, which on a 6GB card leaves about 2GB's of VRAM for geometry and textures. That's one G8 figure with clothing and hair (not strand/dforce hair) with very little else in the scene.

    Thank you so much guys.

    Another tip is to save out your scene when it's ready to render and then shut down DS so it clears its cache and temp files which can also take up your memory. Then restart DS, load your scene and render.
