Endless video rendering


Hello,

Today: I just purchased a subscription, updated my version of D5 Render, updated my power supply, and updated my graphics card. All of this today.

For rendering a simple 9-second 2K video, it takes several hours? This is the first time I’ve rendered videos with this version of D5 Render.

What solution can you suggest?
Is the answer that the RTX 2060 is no longer compatible with newer versions of D5 Render?

Thank you
Thomas

Hi @thomas.3dstudio

Sorry for the inconvenience. The RTX 2060 is still supported in D5 Render and can render videos — it hasn’t been deprecated.

Based on the information you shared, your GPU is running at around 98% utilization and ~86 °C. This indicates that the GPU is being fully loaded by the video rendering task, rather than the render being frozen or stuck. With heavy scenes or high settings, this can cause very slow progress, often due to VRAM limits or thermal throttling.

To help improve stability and render time, we recommend trying the following:

  • Lower the resolution or quality (for example, 1080p / Medium)

  • Reduce scene complexity (vegetation, scatter, high-resolution textures)

  • Monitor VRAM usage in Task Manager or you can enable this via File > View > Show Statistics

  • Render as an image sequence instead of exporting a direct video

You may also try rendering a very basic test scene file to check whether the issue still occurs. If a simple scene renders normally, this would further confirm that the slowdown is related to scene complexity or render settings rather than a system or software issue. Let me know the results. Thank you
