Hi, if I would be interested in RT rendering and I need to upgrade my setup (Quadro K4000), should I do it now, or is there some new architecture on the way. Or should I wait for Vlado to finalize IPR and just stay with my dual xeons. I don’t like to be limited (RT doesn’t support a few plugins I l…

Currently the best GPU for rendering is Titan X Pascal. It is near the price as well. How it will compare for your needs against the dual Xeons (they can be really powerful) is hard to say. I would suggest to wait for and test the IPR. You can use RT CPU with the current stable builds as well.

Another alternative that I’m contemplating is 2x1080s instead of the one Titan. That gives another 2000 cores (about 5,000 compared to 3,072 on the Titan) and better interactivity in the viewport with RT. It is however ‘only’ 8GB compared to 12GB. Price about the same. I haven’t seen any benchmarks…

[image] Yea, Spawner is broken again (sarcasm) That would be my next question, only one of the GPUs counts for the VRAM? Yes with the “gaming cards”. Apparently later on with the Quodros the VRAM will be added together as many cards you have. But Quodros are much more expensive

Over on the Autodesk forum they are talking 1080 and MAX compatibility issues.

Hmm, that doesn’t sound so good. However, I saw one thread without a response. Have you seen many of them?

[image] Hotspots taking forever to render... Hmm, that doesn’t sound so good. However, I saw one thread without a response. Have you seen many of them? well, I mentioned getting one and the moderator mention that there are comparability issues. I’ll find the king and post it.

over on the gpu forums it seems to be working just fine with renderers like octane and fstorm in max

Just to note that it works very well with V-Ray GPU. We even didn’t had to make new builds to support it and it works even we as old build as V-Ray 3.30. Best, Blago.

GPU - hopping on the bandwagon / best bang for buck?
