RTX 30 Slave

When I render using my dual RTX 4090, I render in less than an hour. When I also use my laptop with an RTX 30, the render time is 3 hours. How is this possible? It makes zero sense, and I am wasting money with a node license.

Doesn't seem right. Are you rendering an identical scene? DR or network rendering? Any errors/warnings in the log?

I am using DR, so it is the same scene. It is over my WIFI. The laptop doesn't have the RAM my main PC has so that it might run out of video RAM. I'll have to monitor some things. For years, this laptop was my main PC, and I never had any real issues rendering the same-sized scenes.

Do you transfer the assets to the laptop? This may cause a slowdown, especially over WiFi.

If memory serves me right, the PC with the lowest VRAM will act as a bottleneck. What's the rendering time on the Laptop only?
