  • Performance scaling for Nvidia GPUs by GPU Generation

    Hardware,
    • CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core 32-Threads
    • Motherboard: Asus X570 Crosshair 7 DarkHero
    • System Memory: 128 GB DDR4 3200 CL18
    • GPUs: RTX 4080, RTX 3080, RTX 2080, GTX 1080
    • Bandwidth: PCIe Gen 4.0, x8
    • OS: Windows 11 Pro
    • Nvidia Studio drivers 536.40
    • No monitors attached to the GPU(s)
    Testing,

    We have tested 4 scenes on this hardware using Progressive mode, the results are double checked. The scene are setup carefully to push the GPUs to 100% usage, to ensure accurate results. All tests run for at least one full minute
    • Pascal to Turing shows average 1.6X speedup in CUDA
    • Turing to Ampere shows average 2.4x speedup in CUDA​ and 2.53x in RTX
    • Ampere to Ada shows average 1.87x speedup in CUDA​ and 1.86x in RTX
    • We tested the same scenes between the RTX 3090 and RTX 4090, there is 2.15x speedup in CUDA and 2.2x speedup in RTX

    First Scene, Gold_Interior

    Fourth scene, Forest_001
    Note, this scene includes thousands of leaves and grass objects, and has all shading baked to textures, hence showing a big boost for RTX mode. In most cases CUDA mode should be close to RTX mode in performance

    Conclusion,

    V-Ray GPU shows very good performance scaling on the latest NVidia GPU generations, nearly doubling the performance every generation.

    Best,
