  • V7900 slower than cpu

    Hi,

    I'm not sure if perhaps I've set things up wrongly, but when I use opencl it seems to be slower than when I use cpu rendering.

    My processor is a 3770k overclocker to about 4.4ghz. The graphics card is a Firepro V7900, which, I know is a bit old, but it works with opencl 1.1 and has about 1200 stream processors which is a reasonable number.

    I was thinking of investing in a titan which I think has about 2800 cuda cores, but if the speed scales up linearly I can't see how that would be worth it.

    Clearly I'm misunderstanding something. Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong?

    Thanks.

    (btw I did try rendering with cuda, which, surprisingly worked, but was really really slow.)

    An nVidia card with CUDA will perform much much better. The performance of AMD cards is sadly still way behind, especially for V-Ray RT.
