Darker reflections compared to CPU

[Muhammed_Hamed]

Hi, Muhammed_Hamed . I was wondering if this is still being looked into. Do you think a fix can be implemented in the new updates or is it a more complex issue?

Hey Alex, sorry about that. it is taking time but will get fixed in the near future.
We will have a meeting next week over that. I know how important this fix is

Best,

Thanks a lot for the update, it's much appreciated. I'm looking forward to the fix.

Hi, Muhammed_Hamed . Any progress on this problem? This is the number 1 reason I'm not using Vray GPU for serious production work.

Alex_M for dark reflections try making the max ray intensity 200 instead of 20, it worked for me

[Alex_M]

That's a very costly workaround which slows down the rendering a lot and creates fireflies. It nullifies that reason to use GPU. Also, it's not just the darker reflections. It's also problems with wrong light intensity when refractive materials are used.

Completely disabling the option made alot of fireflies in my scene but setting it to 200 didn't make any and i think it didn't raise my time or raised very little that i didnt notice

Hi,
Lights are still buggy with GPU rendering in Update 1. Lights behind refractive objects still lose their intensity when there are many lights in the scene. When is a fix expected? I bought an expensive graphics card with the intent to use Vray GPU, but unfortunately I still can't do so due to this major bug.
