Long time user of Poser, Mac. Not sure what to do now that they are dropping Mac support. Maybe move to Daz3D, maybe move to PC, maybe just move on. But please help me. I am totally unfamiliar with PC world and need guidance on issues like CPU v GPU. If I wished to optimize Poser performance when buying a new PC, what should I concentrate on? Happy to spend some money ($2000+) to get something well tailored, pleasant to use, efficient. I'm ignorant. For example, I've only today learned the word "Optix". Should I be sure to get an NVIDIA graphics card for best results? This will also be a gaming computer. What proportion of Poser render quality/time is due to CPU vs graphics card? And how vital is large quantity of RAM? What such questions should I be asking?
Since I'm a newbie to this, I would prefer buying a prebuilt. Would still appreciate some advice on individual components in case I end up taking the leap of building.
This is an unhappy branching point in the road. I could use a word or two.
Thanky kindly,
