A Bit Confused about discrepancies in render time.

So here's a thing.  I did these too test renders, largely because a) I had a bit of mental block and b) I wanted to try and get to grips with why my DS render times are so much worse than my Poser time.  These two pictures were rendered using exactly the same settings and different HDRI's from the same pack.  Daz Studio HDR Outdoor Environments the two Mountain Environments.

The picture on the left is Aisling for Charlotte 8 and on the right is Isa for Rune 7.  Now I concede that Gen 8 are by definition higher resolution, more complex characters.  I also acknowledge the overall quality of the metal on Aisling is markedly better than Isa's. 

Isa rendered in 6 minutes and 17 seconds, Aisling rendered in 1 hour and 37 minutes.  Gen 8 might be better but 15 times better?  I'd be more than grateful if anybody can point out anything obvious I'm missing but it seems a bit, what is the technical term? ...a bit mental.

    Iray rendering I presume.

    What Graphics card with how much VRAM do you have? I'm wondering if the Aisling render dropped to CPU the outfit looks a lot more detailed and may well have very large texture maps.

    Ah now that does make a bit of sense.  I only got a GTX 1060ti with 4gb.  I'm used to rendering in Cycles (Poser) which shares resources between the CPU and GPU if necessary.  I forgot that the GPU wanders off in a sulk it it can't do the whole thing in IRAY.

    Thanks for the advice.
