winterdd Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Just curious.......I now have the 3080 video card and the PBR's are insanely clean and realistic. I have noticed if I keep the rendering open for a bit, the computer starts roaring like a NASA rocket ship ready to take off. It stops when I close the rendering. Is there a lot going on with the video card when that happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPDesign Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Sounds like you have the samples limit unchecked and your card is getting hot. Take a peak in the case and make sure its clean. oh and the card fans too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericepv Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Mine does that sometimes as well, it's the cooling fans like Michael mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdd Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 I figured it was the cooling fans. It doesn't surprise me. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob, make sure that Cap Live Samples is checked. You can uncheck it for final views, or whenever you want a higher quality image. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 You could try to run with the cover off to see if it's getting enough air, if it's getting too hot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dermot Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 From the documentation that pops up when click on that dialog button called "Help": Quote Global Illumination When Use Ray Tracing is active and checked, multiple samples of indirect lighting in the scene are created, improving the lighting quality with each sample. This setting and those below it will not be active if real-time GPU Ray Tracing is not supported on the system. See GPU Ray Tracing. When Refraction is active and checked, light will bend when passing through a Transparent material. Specify the Maximum Export Samples, which is how many samples to run for a view that you wish to export as a picture or send to layout. When Cap Live Samples is unchecked, a GPU Ray Traced view will run samples indefinitely. Check this box to instead stop running samples when the Maximum Export Samples value is reached. Specify the Daytime Background Intensity, which is the brightness of the view's background color or backdrop image when the Sunlight is toggled on. See Backdrop Panel. Specify the Nighttime Background Intensity, which is the background brightness when the Sunlight is toggled off. See Generic Sunlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember the last time a computer I built had the cover put on it. BTW, having the cover off doesn't always result in cooler operation.
