NVIDIA Lite Hash Rate GPU Performance
Written on October 26, 2021 by William GeorgeIn 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.
GPU Rendering - NVIDIA RTX A6000 Multi-GPU Scaling
Written on March 26, 2021 by Kelly ShipmanWith 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.
GPU Rendering - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Performance
Written on December 31, 2020 by William GeorgeNVIDIA 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
Written on November 30, 2020 by William GeorgePCI-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
Written on November 16, 2020 by William GeorgeWith 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.
