Using the default render values of 0.01 and 4096 took half an hour longer to render and there’s nothing I can see in the denoised version that is better than the 30 minute render. The noisy image is less noisy than the 30 minute render but I don’t think it’s worth the extra 30 minutes. Also, unless I actually needed to use the 100% version of this, I don’t see any reason to consider the 30 minute render at half size better than the 7 minute render at half size.
