I’m completely new here. I have a Gigabyte Aero with a RTX 3070 TI graphics card. It’s a 12th gen Intel Core i7. 16GB RAM. 16GB vRAM.
I want to dedicate it to doing graphics work and I’m trying to learn Blender and I’m wondering how to set up the preferences to take full advantage of the hardware I’ve got.
It’s also depending on your graca and the technology using it… and then also some people use a setting which does work better on their workflow but not on other…
As you’re new, I’d leave everything at default, until you learn more about the specifics of 3D CG. The only thing you have to do is enable your gpu (leave cpu unchecked) with OptiX under Preferences > System > Cycles Render Devices
Once you start getting the hang of making things in Blender, you can learn more about optimizing Blender and render settings.
Ok, thanks for the reply. I’ve checked the GPU and unchecked the CPU as you advise. I’ve bypassed the doughnut in my learning curve, maybe I should go back and complete that one…
