While the launch of NVIDIA and AMD’s consumer GPUs have been a major topic recently, NVIDIA is also starting to release the successor to their Quadro RTX line – starting with the RTX A6000. In this article, we will look at how it performs in Octane from Otoy compared to recent NVIDIA Quadro GPUs.
NVIDIA Lite Hash Rate GPU Performance
In an attempt to make their GeForce line of consumer video cards less appealing to crypto miners, NVIDIA has updated many of their GPUs with “lite hash rate” versions. These are supposed to reduce effectiveness for mining of currencies like Etherium by about 50%, without impacting game performance or other applications, but to be sure of that we put a pair of GeForce RTX 3070 cards – one with LHR and one without – to the test.
OctaneRender 2020 – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti & 3080 Ti Performance
NVIDIA’s new GeForce RTX 3070 Ti & RTX 3080 Ti are here, touting more performance than their non-Ti variants – although with a larger price tag to match. The big question is exactly where these fit in Nvidia’s crowded lineup for GPU rendering within OctaneRender.
OctaneRender 2020 – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Performance
NVIDIA’s new GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is here, touting more performance and higher VRAM than the RTX 3080 – although with a larger price tag to match. The big question is exactly where this fits between the RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 for GPU rendering within OctaneRender.
GPU Rendering – NVIDIA RTX A6000 Multi-GPU Scaling
With the launch of Nvidia’s RTX A6000 video card, we look at how well these cards scale in multi-GPU configurations for rendering in Redshift, OctaneRender, and V-Ray.
OctaneRender 2020 – NVIDIA RTX A6000 48GB Performance
We finally get to see how NVIDIA’s new Ampere workstation cards perform in rendering applications such as OTOY’s OctaneRender. We’ve previously looked at their consumer-grade cards, the new RTX A6000 is the first professional-grade card Nvidia has released.
GPU Rendering – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Performance
NVIDIA launched the GeForce RTX 30 Series a few months ago, but new models in this family continue to trickle in. Today we are looking at the RTX 3060 Ti 8GB model and how it performs with regard to rendering in OctaneRender, Redshift, and V-Ray.
PCI-Express 4.0 vs 3.0 Video Card Performance
PCI-Express has been the standard for connecting video cards and other expansion devices inside of computers for many years now, and several generations of the technology have now passed. With each of those generations, the amount of data that can be transferred over the PCIe connection has increased. How much impact does that have on modern video cards? Is there any benefit to running a PCIe 3.0 card in a 4.0 slot, or loss if using a 4.0 card in a 3.0 slot?
GPU Rendering – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series Multi-GPU Scaling
With the initial launches in NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 30 Series complete, and availability getting better, it is time to look at how well these cards scale in multi-GPU configurations for rendering within Redshift, OctaneRender, and V-Ray.
OctaneRender 2020 – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070, 3080 & 3090 Performance
With the first three models in NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 30 Series now available, how do the RTX 3070, 3080, and 3090 stack up? In this article we take a look at how they compare to each other as well as the previous generation of GeForce and Titan cards in OTOY’s OctaneRender.
