Seems that the upcoming NVIDIA Kepler cards will be the way to go regarding V-Ray RT rendering. NVIDIA Kepler GK104 gets 1536 CUDA cores http://www.nordichardware.com/news/71-graphics/45257-nvidia-kepler-gk104-gets-1536-cuda-cores.html If I remember correctly it is three times the amount of curre…

Yeah, they’re saying it will be the entry level card..sheesh! -Alan

They are already planning the dual core card :smile:

If they will give us 1gb model and ask £6k for 6gb model I go buy shotgun and go after nvidia HQ ! >.<

Yes, the problem, again, is the RAM. This is a game card, so, 2 or 3 GB is enough to play with Crisis4 or UT. With 2 Gb RAM we can only render some nice, but not heavy, scene. In practice, only modern interiors and objects design. It’s ok if your job is “only” modern catalogue (and I’ve friend, in…

yeah it will be years to support that, if we look at how they scale things in favor of cores not ram. i I guess tiled exrs would a solution.

[image] Vray RT GPU not working IMO VRay-Rt GPU is a little behind the others. And, I’ve test here that, with the same noise lever, VRay-RT GPU is 1/2 slow. Can you get me specific examples? My own tests show otherwise :slight_smile: Best regards, Vlado

Vlado - side note how does GPU ram actually works. Is it really that hard to expand it to 20gb or is it just nvidia making loads of $$ by doing it the slow way ?

[image] PLY converter Normals Vlado - side note how does GPU ram actually works. Is it really that hard to expand it to 20gb or is it just nvidia making loads of $$ by doing it the slow way ? I don’t know really. There might be technical difficulties to put more RAM on the board. Best regards…

i think the main issues are a) gpu ram is necessarily very fast as it has to feed all those cores, and hence more expensive than standard ddr dimms. b) games dont need it yet, and professional uses do, this gives nvidia /amd a nice easy way to differentiate their pro cards, and milk people of the…

Hi All. I love working in the gpu mode ( it’s expansive!! consumes a lot of energy having gpu boxes). And I really love Vray. But I must say that working with gpu, it has some problems that competitors have not. The most obvious problem is the jugged edges. Often they appear and do not go away! …
