RAM usage of 1.5 much to high

[Micha_cg]

Hi users,

please look at your RAM usage and write here, if problems can be seen. I have a scene with following data:

R4 1.05:

* 2.9GB peak usage
* 2.5GB during rendering
* 1.7GB after rendering

R5 64 1.5:

* 5.6GB peak
* 4.1GB during rendering
* 3.2GB after rendering

Looks like 1.5 need much to much RAM. Scene that can be rendered at 32bit (1.05) need a 64bit system with much more RAM now. At the moment 64bit are needed because the new version waste the RAM. I hope this can be fixed.

Regards,
Micha

Hello Micha_cg

We've done a similar tests and we got the same result as you were.
According to our tests Vray 1.5 consumes almost 3 times more RAM than 1.05 version.
We will forward this issue to our developers team, and will inform you when the bug is fixed.

Thank you very much for your feedback.

Great that you repeat it at your machine, a good chance to catch the bug.

(Today I have seen more than 12GB RAM usage on a heavy scene - could be great to get the usage down.)

Could you please check case 8155 for this bug - can I delete the large example file from my server?

For now , please do not delete the example if it is possible.
