emissive surfaces really slowing down Nvidia Iray Preview?

 

If for example, I load Genesis 8 male dev load into a scene and then apply emissive properties to a few of the surfaces, then it makes Iray preview so excruciatingly slow that it becomes impossible to rotate around in Iray Preview.

I dont remember this being the case...Is anyone experiencing this?

    Yes, emissivs can slow things down - for one, as I understand the process, each polygon in the emissive surface gets treated separately, so that is a lot of calculations for each pass - that's based on the final, SubDed resolution.

    Okay, i fixed it. It wasnt just Emissives, everything was slow.

    I changed Iray Preview mode's Draw Settings to Biased instead of Photoreal and now its useable again.
