GPU rendering help

[alex_obrist]

Hi all, I am new to this field with GPU`s, I have the feeling my graphics card does not need the full power to render as evident in the picture I think times. Because in utilization it says 2-max 6%. Because with CPU it jumps directly to 100%. Can you set this somewhere? And where? would be very nice if you can send me some screenshot where I can adjust it. Thanks a lot

Are you using the GPU render in your configuration ....... inside the menu of VRAY you can select de device...

It has been taken care of. In Windows Task Manager it does not show me correctly if the graphics card is running. But via Nvidia I see that it is at 100%. Thanks for the help anyway.

Hello alex_obrist,

Please note that with the task manager there are many parameters that can be monitored and it won't show you the correct GPU utilization. You can use a third-party tool, such as GPU-Z to monitor the GPU load. I hope this is of help.

Hey alex_obrist ,
Depending on the Graphics card and driver you should a "Compute" or "CUDA" mode available for you to select and monitor your GPU usage while rendering instead of the currently selected ones "3D, Copy, Video Encode or Video Decode".

Here is a quick screenshot and how it looks:
