Hi all

Has anyone done a really long render like 30H+ and how did the GPU handle this? I have a series of 8+ views to render and my GPU will be pumping at 75 degrees for 100H+. :cry:

Cheers

... my longest one was about 70hrs ;)

I'd say, if a system lasts for 2hrs, it'll take every longer render too.

I've rendered for 96 hours before. My 460 fan really ramps up after only a couple of minutes but it had no problem continuing for 96 hours. Obviously the room got pretty warm.
