  I only wish I had bought Turbo Tools sooner.

  Ok, first off, this is not a custom build, it's an add-on and that alone should make you realize how convenient this solution is over custom-builds.

  What Michael did here is extremely efficient.
  Depending on your needs, gain on render time can get pretty insane. In some cases, renders for me can be six times faster, but it could be more as I haven't fully explored all the options yet. This is something that in the past I haven't seen with custom-builds which were specifically aimed at improving Blender render speed.

  I feel this is the first time that the claim it will save you the money of an extra GPU is definitely true.

  I thought it would end there, but there's more.
  Another sweet advantage of using Turbo Tools is that your textures will look more detailed. So, not only it will render faster, but it will also look better.

  I only explored the improvement about the speed, so, apologize for excluding all the caching/compositing part.

  On a side note, I bought the add-on when I was using my old PC with a dual 1080ti system. I thought with the new PC and a dual 3080ti, I wouldn't use it as much. I was wrong. Renders now are insanely fast! :)

  Thanks for this must-have add-on.

  I was looking for some ways to speed up my projects and after some googling, I found this addon but after watching a review on youtube, I was afraid that this addon might not be the right one, especially for fine hairs, since I wasn't willing to reduce rendering time at the cost of quality.
  After contacting the developper about this problem, it looked like in the youtube video, it was more of an issue with balancing between sufficient amount of samples for the details vs rendering speed.

  So I decided to try the addon with regular sample presets and I am quite happy with the results as I can get better details in most areas like fabrics, small details like wear and tears, some objects border are more well defined etc.. while using much less samples than regular cycle, resulting in faster rendering speed, it is especially noticeable in big projects.

  For hairs however the result with base preset weren't as good but setting samples to user setting and setting them high enough (at the same amount as I would with regular cycle or slightly lower)for the hair details to be rendered properly the result ended similar to standard cycle for hair while still having better details in most other place like mentioned before.
  (maybe some preset could be added for those types of details)

  So overall I' m very happy with this purchase as it will save me a huge amount of time without lowering the quality of my projects.

  This plugin is a lifesaver!
  I have a pretty good machine but not really good enough for fast 3D animation rendering. This plugin makes cycles renders possible in a fraction of the time and look great.
  It took me a little time to get my head around this plugin - it IS easy to use but I just don't know much about Blender's rendering processes but now I can create scenes and render them whereas I wouldn't even have bothered before because it would have taken too long.

  I didn't want to buy this addon for a long time because it seemed too good to believe. I was tempted to buy it mainly because of the temporal stabiliser option. I am 100% impressed. I was also shocked by the details retention...i can go on and on!!!!

  This is a blend of witchcraft and black magic! 1 frame before 03m03s, with Turbo boost 35s flat! My jaw has dropped, honestly. One word - F'in AMAZING!
  All settings/options are self-explanatory. This add-on will save a lot of time and electricity! Thank you!

  Absolutely mind-blowing results, even with low samples in very short render times! This is truly a game changer! It speeds up my render workflow drastically.
  It's not only about the amazing denoising, which still feels like magic to me - but also about all the other implemented settings which are speeding up the renders and reduce the amount of VRAM needed.

  Plus, the developer is extremely helpful and answers all questions instantly.

  Highly recommended!
