I just bought a new LG 32" 4K monitor and found my PBR render speed was slower than on my 27 Inch monitor. I discovered that the size of the window affects the render and denoise speed. With the window size the same on each monitor the speed is equal. If I shrink the window size to about 8" of render display the time to render and denoise is almost instantaneous. If I have the window full size on the 32" display the time goes up to about 9 seconds to finish rendering and denoise. I now know that if I'm just looking around to see what the model looks like a smaller window will speed up the process greatly. I hope this helps to understand how the render speed works.

Thanks, I have everything backed up and copied to the new computer so I'll see if I can get everything installed. How do I save my profile? it won't let me save in the templates location like older versions used to. In X12 I had to recreate my profile (res. template) but now do I have to do it again? Thanks

I am setting up a new computer and have downloaded Chief X12. What is the best way to transfer all my data, libraries and templates? Also how to I load all the bonus content, can it be transferred or do I have to download each library again from Chief website? FYI when I installed Chief it didn't create an X12 data folder so I copied it from my old computer. I also have the downloaded libraries in my download folder so I could copy them and open them one at a time I suppose. I just don't want to have a zillion duplicate files and textures like I have had in the past when migrating upgrades. Thanks

No the X8 User Data is gone as if it was over written by X9. I found a backup of my User Library on my backup drive and I am installing that manually now. Migration never started because all I had on this computer was X8. I have another computer with the older versions etc. I have lots of backups to sort through but such a hassle. X9 won't even auto install the bonus lib files. I have to open each download.

I just updated to X9 and it deleted X8 completely now I have no user Librarys etc. and can't find or open X8. The library migration doesn't work. I have nada but the new X9. My plans are all stored on the cloud and I can open them in X9. This never happened before with any older version.
