Poly measurements in tris instead of quads): Suggested Top 10 long hair G8 models for slower computers (model name first, then polygon count. Hair models are a leading source of higher polygon numbers in a 3d render in Daz 3D Studio. Polygons alone won’t determine the speed of your renders, or the computer’s ability to handle a 3d scene, but they certainly play a major role. These models were selected because they were a lower polygon count, which in my opinion makes them better for using with slower computers. The following 10 hair models are for Genesis 8. You can read this in-depth article with lots of examples and information here:

Previously I wrote about polygon bloat on Daz models and even had some helpful suggestions on how to work around having an older slower computer. There are also many wonderful hair models you can purchase in the Daz store which do not suffer from polygon bloat and will be much nicer for older computers to work with. There are hair models in the Daz store for G8 figures that have well over 1 million polygons, which is a problem for slower computers. In fact, a high polygon count can be a sign of sloppy 3D modeling and design. It is a common widespread misconception that the higher the polygon count, the better the model. Polygon bloat is in reference to when you have a model that has needlessly complex and excessive polygons, which in turn slow your computer down. In Daz 3D Studio hair models can be a leading source of what I call polygon bloat.
