Trying to Decide Between G9 or G8.1

I’m wondering if I should go with Genesis 9 as of April 2026. How much heavier is the performance cost for Genesis 9 compared to 8.1? And can it be mitigated to match 8.1? Also, what about viewport performance and load times with Genesis 9, any way to mitigate this as well?

    Set the SubD level to one lower and the geometry will, if anything, be lighter. Adjust materials to save resources as you would for Genesis 8/8.1 - the 8K detail maps aside they may well not be very different.

    It depends :

    if your main goal is studio portraits, G9 figures can really be awsome.

    For whole body, G9 can be much more detailed with HD add-ons but extreme movements are really picky .

    G8/1 is well knowned, there are tons of addons for bending and folds. Plus G8.1 is a real bargain now !

    As for video RAM both needs a lot.

    This is a just a hobby, keep that in mind
