Hey aardianns,
It depends on the scene, the resolution and the number of samples, among other factors that can impact render times.
Have you enabled the GPU in the preferences?
If your GPU is not available here, make sure your GPU drivers are up to date.
Go to Edit > Preferences and then the System tab, at the top under Cycles Render Devices, you should see your GPU under either CUDA or OptiX, mine is HIP because I have an AMD GPU.
make sure you have GPU Compute selected as the device.
My render samples are at 4096, this is probably higher than you need, depending on your scene. Try 1024 or even 512.
