This is slightly late news, but my very overstretched GTX 1650 is being taken off rendering duty... Yes, I was actually able to get an RTX 3060 on launch day - and no, I didn't pay a scalper for it. This one came via Scan UK, although it took careful syncing of clocks to make sure I could add it to my basket and purchase as soon as possible after the 5pm UK launch time. It might be the least powerful of the 30 series so far, but it may well prove to be the stand-out Iray rendering card of this generation (even if reviewers are less enthusiastic about its gaming performance). In terms of benchmarks for Iray rendering, it's nearly a match for the flagship RTX 2080 Ti of the last generation - and, due to some odd decision making by NVidia, it's got more VRAM than any higher model other than the 3090 (which was kind of out of my budget), which is a key resource as far as how many assets can be fitted into a render.

Well, judging by the long delays in updates for my gallery, you can tell that art progressing isn't one of the things really happening in my life. This is mostly because I'm on holiday, and although I've got my drawing stuff with me, the fact that my living quarters aren't exactly stable makes it hard. I'm on a canal boat, as the photo I added earlier demonstrates. I do want to get my WIP drawings going again, but it's not going to happen fast. I've always got a lot of projects on (I've been penning a tabletop gaming supplement and coding a trajectory simulator, amongst other smaller things), so each individual one moves somewhat sporadical
