Taken a while, but I've begun to get my '3D Eye' working again. Currently playing with assorted freebies & conversions, getting a feel for Poser's menus, finding what will and will not 'play nice'.

Couple of things: I got PoserPro11 because it was 64bit, so could access [b][i]much [/i][/b]more RAM than the non-Pro version. And, in theory, make good use of my CAD-Tower's multi-cored AMD 8350 CPU and/or twin GTX 750 ti GPU cards.

( I'm no Gamer: Those cards were 'previous year' tech and unsuitable for bit-coin mining, hence affordable... )

Now, exploring Poser's facilities, I've tried different combos of render options.

For an ad-hoc bench-mark, I used a complex sci-fi gun found free on DA.

Firefly rendering seems as quick via CPU, or one or both GPUs, took 12 secs any way. Whoosh !!

Superfly via CPU took, IIRC, about three minutes for '150 tile' scene. 
One GPU card rendered that in ~65 secs. 
Paired, my two cards rendered in 33 secs !!
Swoosh !!

{ Shakes head, remembers P4 taking a lonnnng time for even simplest of scenes... }
