# Render Speed The Render Speed setting, available to all paid plan users, lets you control how long the AI spends generating an image, which also affects image detail and overall quality. To select a specific Render Speed: 1. Select the [Prompt Box](https://docs.ideogram.ai/using-ideogram/ui-overview/ui-components/prompt-box) to expand it (if not already expanded) and show the available options. 2. Select **Model + variations** (displayed as the actual model and number of images, for example, **3.0 Default x 4**) to open the dropdown menu. 3. Use the **Render speed** selector at the bottom of the menu to choose your desired speed.

The *Render Speed* setting adjusts how long the AI spends refining the requested image. There are three available render speeds: * **Turbo** — Generates images quickly, ideal for brainstorming or testing ideas. Results may appear rougher or more sketch-like. * **Default** — Balanced speed and quality; the standard mode for most generations. * **Quality** — Produces more detailed and refined results. It can correct small imperfections that may appear in faster modes. {% hint style="info" %} **Note:** Render speed varies between models. For example, **Model 2a** is faster than **Model 2.0** when using the same rendering settings. {% endhint %} Here are examples generated with **Model 2.0**:
