A short article covering some of the best computer system configurations for rendering with V-Ray at the close of 2020.
Agisoft Metashape 1.6.5 – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series Multi-GPU Performance
Agisoft Metashape has had an interesting history with multi-GPU performance. At different points in time, and with different generations of video cards, we have seen both substantial boosts from having multiple video cards as well as next to none. With the latest AMD CPUs and NVIDIA GPUs, we are testing this aspect of Metashape once more.
Agisoft Metashape 1.6.5 – AMD Radeon RX 6800 (XT) Performance
AMD recently launched a new generation of their Radeon graphics cards, and we have finally gotten our hands on the first two models – the RX 6800 and 6800 XT – to test in our lab. How do they stack up against NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 30 Series cards, which are similarly priced, in Agisoft Metashape?
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.
Redshift 3.0 – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070, 3080 & 3090 Performance
NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3080 and 3090 launched earlier this fall, and now the RTX 3070 has joined its siblings. How does it compare to the bigger RTX 30 Series cards? And how do they all stack up against the previous generation? In this article we take a look at how well they all fare in GPU based rendering engines like Maxon Redshift.
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.
V-Ray GPU Rendering – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070, 3080 & 3090 Performance
NVIDIA’s latest generation of GPUs, the GeForce RTX 30 Series, has steadily rolled out over the course of the last several weeks. With the RTX 3070 launched most recently, how do all three models compare – both to each other, and to the previous GeForce and Titan cards? In this article we take a look at how they all stack up in Chaos Group’s V-Ray & V-Ray Next rendering engines.
Agisoft Metashape 1.6.4 – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070, 3080 & 3090 Performance
NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 30 Series has had a rolling release over the last several weeks, and now the RTX 3070 has joined the party. How does it stack up against its bigger siblings and the previous generation of GeForce and Titan cards? Let’s take a look at how they all compare in Agisoft Metashape.
RealityCapture 1.1 – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070, 3080 & 3090 Performance
NVIDIA’s first GeForce RTX 30 Series cards launched in September, and now the RTX 3070 has joined its bigger siblings. How does it stack up to the RTX 3080 and 3090? And how do they all compare against the previous generation of cards? Here we look at how they all perform in RealityCapture.
