V-Ray RT running on a RenderStream VDACTr8 with 8x NVIDIA GTX 580 GPUs
Please make sure you watch the video in full screen HD quality.
Recently RenderStream completed testing one of its VDACTr8 systems, which utilizes eight GTX 580 GPUs, on V-Ray RT, a GPU accelerated renderer.
The video above covers in detail the speed improvements one can attain by using V-Ray RT in the activeshade viewport. This allows for extremely rapid visual feedback on your model, lighting and shader production.
Additionally, we demonstrate how V-Ray RT can be used to render out draft/final animation sequences significantly faster than using the CPU based renderer.
We also wanted to measure how the performance scales when running systems with 1-8 GPUs. We can confirm that performance scales linearly as you add more GPUs. To measure this we used the same scene, enabled each GPU one by one and noted the Kpaths/second value in the activeshade viewport. Below is a graph of these results.
With the rendering revolution really beginning to take shape and GPU accelerated renderers rapidly advancing, you owe it to yourself to consider a RenderStream VDAC solution. As we noted in the video, we observed our VDACTr8 to be up to 68 times faster than dual 6-core X5680 CPUs.For more information or to request a quote, please visit http://www.renderstream.com or write to info@renderstream.com or call 512-850-4098.
