Why 38000M peak when trying to render image When I am trying to render an image with 32 samples the peak M gets to 38000 and the crashes with CUDA error for not enough GPU memory.
We just bought a new computer

Rtx 3070
32 ram
Cpu AMD ryzen 9 5950
Water cooled

The file takes 10 minutes just to open, thne crashes when trying to go into render view mode
Have 158 million tris
80 million verts and faces
It takes up that memory and crashes because 158 M faces is huge. That’s about it.
Try using decimate or some thing to reduce the number of faces, or even use different scenes so it’s broken up in pieces, and then video sequence them together.
