Nvidia cuda blender. Given the blender 2 90 performance changes over blender 2 8x as outlined in the earlier article here is a fresh look at how the nvidia gpu performance compares for this large range of graphics processors. I ve searched this on the web with no accurate result on how cuda is supporting blender to this date. I am unable to use cuda for cycles rendering in blender versions 2 78c 2 79 2 79b for nvidia geforce driver later than 388 71 released december 20 2017 with a gtx 780ti kepler. Cuda toolkit 11 1 downloads.
Cuda based rendering works with the 388 71 driver but does not work with 390 65 390 77 391 24 398 11. For 4gpu setups cuda 0 to cuda 3. This computer has an aging ivy bridge i7 16gb ram and up until recently a gtx 780 ti. So i do product renderings with blender and i have a spare computer for this.
Gpu rendering makes it possible to use your graphics card for rendering instead of the cpu. Nvidia s latest studio rtx driver isn t just speeding up commercial production renderers like v ray. Hey guys of those familiar with gpu computing and real time rendering can i optimize my blender scipts with cuda. I ran the bmw benchmark before and after.
Following that i kept on testing more and older nvidia gpus with the cuda and optix back end targets to now have an 18 way comparison from maxwell to turing with the new blender 2 90. Due to an incompatibility issue we advise users to defer updating to linux kernel 5 9 until mid november when an nvidia linux gpu driver update with kernel 5 9 support is expected to be available. For reference i m using blender version 2. I m really interested in real time simulations of fluids and bubbles is blender the correct renderer if i m going for a mathematical and research approach.
This can speed up rendering because modern gpus are designed to do quite a lot of number crunching. If you use the free open source blender 3d animation software you ll also get a boost nvidia. At the moment we delegate different jobs to seperate blender instances with cuda 0 and cuda 1 settings to get close to linear scale.
