I'd go with the Optix option. It is so much faster than anything else. And while I'm no expert, I've always been under the impression you want software to use all the threads if needed. Having it use less than that might be for if you want to multitask.

Yes, I think the reason was so you could use your computer for other things while Poser is rendering.

I will give Optix a try. I bought Poser 13 awhile ago, but was still mostly using Poser 11. I had no idea Optix was a thing.

I don't believe Optix was available in Poser 11. And if you're using the GPU for rendering, you won't be using much CPU power because the GPU is doing the heavy lifting. And using larger buckets will also speed up GPU rendering. I often have mine at 2048 vs 32 for CPU. You'll have to test to see what's the fastest and what your computer can handle for your scenes. Some of my busier scenes, I shrink it some.
