Issue with Hair

Choppski

For some reason, now and then when I render in ds 24.1, hair like eyebrows and beards, looks fuzzy instead of like hair. I have tried different material settings, and the odd thing is that a figure who renders fine in one scene won't in another. I am at my wits end to figure out why. it happens to head hair too, but not as bad. It looks almost like the renderer is not reading transparencies or something.  has anyone else experienced this ever?

Are you sure it isn't just that it is dropping to CPU and stopping for maximum time before it is reaching the target convergence threshold, while the sharp versions run in the GPU and do reach the target convergence?

According to my various system monitors it is running on GPU.

I must have had some issue with render settings. I hit default, and then reset with my preferred setting and now it works. just wish I knew what setting I was hitting wrong.
