I also have a nice card for rendering (5070ti). Perhaps it is just the high resolution at 100%. I will see what the render time at 50% resolution instead of 100% is later this evening. I turned the samples down to 512, and it’s around 4.5 mins per frame.
There is no rush to render the sequence at this stage in the game.
That 100% resolution does give a NICE clean image though. 😊
