I just tried a small render and it worked fine. The render I am working on has 1.2 million faces but this computer is new has a 3.6 gig dual core I 7 with a $700 graphics card an SSD drive +16 gig of RAM. ?

Cheers

I recommend you use the CPU version instead. $700 video card must be good, but if it doesn't have 4gb or 6gb of video RAM it will not always work well. Everything is sent to the video RAM, the texture, normal maps, environment maps etc. Perhaps some of your textures are too big?
What is the make/model of your video card? and how much RAM is on it?

Hi,

It's a good card for OpenGL (gamming) but it only has 192 cores for rendering so it's very slow. 700+ cores is recommended. You can download the CPU version from our download page, make sure to always download the latest updates as well. Here is the link, the CPU download is the first link, the 2nd is the update, the other 2 are the GPU...

You are welcome. If you make some renders and if you are interested, you can post your renders in our gallery for everyone to see. Just make sure you stick your name, contact info etc. on the image first so someone can contract you.
