mattclinch Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 100% CPU usage. RAM load is nothing to with rendering speed, provided it has enough to hold the cache of the scene etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Buckley Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 hmmm it still seems pretty slow, better review my scene setup, reduce those glossy samples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Homeless Guy Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 What Matt said, but if you want to see how much RAM you are using, you need to look at your task manager, under the processor tab. The performance tab will give you stats on total RAM, but the performance tab will give you feedback on how much RAM each individual process is using.

SandmanNinja Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 And click View -> Select Columns on the task manager and turn on "Peak Mem Usage". This will remember mm.. peaks in mmm.... mem usage. Like, 3ds is using 512000K right NOW, but at some point it spiked at 6.5 gigs! Yikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
