Windows 11 is finally here, however, many popular rendering applications like Redshift and V_ray have not officially offered support for the new OS. So what kind of performance could be expected as of the launch of Windows 11?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Here are our best recommendations for OctaneRender workstations at the end of 2020 and going into the new year.

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?

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.

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.
