This is my first post, but I have been using Poser for over 20 years now to create some technical renders and see how the software is evolving. I have a workstation that is mainly used for creating assets for game engines like Unity and Unreal. So the following information may not apply to many people.

But the question needs to be asked as I just upgraded my GPU to an RTX 3090. I would have hoped for very fast render times, but it appears this is not the case. My cpu is an i9-10980XE which is a pretty fast processor.

The attached image was rendered in:

Firefly with CPU:  33.45s render time

Superfly with CPU: 180 sec

Superfly with GPU: 290.6 sec

Normally one would expect the opposite render times, but here it is.

Any thoughts as to what is going on?
