Can anyone help with best Nvidia 3D settings?

[Pretty Picture Girl]

Hi,

I am working in architectural visualisation, predominantly I create spherical 360 degree still images. Rarely I ceate movies (yet).
Picture size typically 12000 x 10000 pixels.

To do this I use Vray 3.6 for Rhino 5.0. Vray can handle the combined use of CPU & GPU via Cuda.
Still, when doing this the images turn out grainy/noisy despite the denoiser beeing on.
CPU alone rendering works fine but is slow, that why I want the combined power.

My current graphics card Quadro 5000 never shows much usage in the Nvidia GPU utilisation graph and I get an CUDA error 2 : unable to allocate enough memory to perform the requested operation (out-of-mem).
I suspect a settings error.
The benchmark test from Chaosgroup does not help as it does not tell why things are as they are.


Neither one program is listed in the "3D Settings" field of the Nvidia control panel and I wonder if someone can recommend the best settings to choose.
At the moment I use the the 3D App-Visual Simulation Profile with:

-Open GL Overlay switched on
-Power management to Max
-Tripple buffering on
-Vertical sync on

In the following the spec of the machine. An upgrade to a Quadro M5000 and 72GB of RAM is planned.

My machine has the following spec:

• HP Z800
  2x Xeon X5650@2.67GHz
  24GB RAM (soon 72GB)
  Quadro 5000 (soon Quadro M5000) Driver 377.83
  Windows 10Pro 64Bit latest release
  Rhino Version 5 SR14 64-bit (5.14.522.8390, 05/22/2017)
  Vray 3.6 for Rhino latest release

I'd really appreciate if someone could suggest the best settings for the graphic card.
I am less after on screen display quality but much more after final result quality.

Thanks so much,

Pretty

And here is the answer.

That points one to GTX rather than Quadro and answers my question on best settings. At least with regards to Rhino.

I think those Nvidia settings doesn't affect GPU rendering, only they viewport in Rhinoceros.

i wouldn't bother upgrading from a quadro 5000 to a m5000, not really an improvement and very old. either get a p5000 or a gtx 1070,1070ti, 1080, 1080ti

As already mentioned, CUDA error 2 : unable to allocate enough memory can be resolved by using the GPU Textures Resize modes On-demand Mipmapping or Resize to a set size.
