GPU rendering
So, of the new videos cards released which are the fastest for GPU rendering?
I see for OpenCL, The ATI cards are faster in SmallLuxGPU.
Surpising!

Re: GPU rendering
Nvidia has some hard time doing OpenCL, with CUDA they are way faster.... smells fishy for me!
You can read a lot of technical indepth information in the SLG Forum

Re: GPU rendering
I think I'll go for a GTX 570.
Last time I had an Nvidia, currently using a borrowed ATI 4670, and I'm not liking the ATI drivers much.
A taste of CUDA is nice too
ATI cards have more ram though, up to 2GB

Re: GPU rendering
SLG was developed on AMD hardware, so I don't find it too surprising Their architecture offers extremely high peak FLOPs throughput compared to nVidia, if you can make full utilisation of it (i.e. optimise to use of SIMD).
It's great to see ray tracing benchmarks in such GPU reviews, that's the main reason I'm buying them these days

Gainward Phantom GTX570
This might be the quietest, card with decent speed

Might get this one, since my case has fans at the bottom that blow air into the unit, and push the air out the top through the video card, it should work well

Re: GPU rendering
I bought the broken silicon (GTX 470)
Re: GPU rendering
LOL I have the 250. It's so powerful, it's not even on the chart. How do you guys get all the best cards? You must be rich!CoolColJ wrote:So, of the new videos cards released which are the fastest for GPU rendering?

Re: GPU rendering
GTX570 is not that expensive

Re: GPU rendering
Etienne: as far as single precision performance is concerned, it hangs with the GTX 470/480.
Re: GPU rendering
I write and mix music, my main hobby, and I'm drooling at the thought of Cuda accelerated audio plugins and software now! Much cheaper than the curently available DSP cards and probably much faster.

once they work out the kinks, since it's so time dependant

GPU Edition: Status Notes
Zero latency mode is not supported by the GPU Edition due to a combination of factors including the mechanisms involved with transferring data to and from the GPU being much more efficient with larger blocks, a current requirement to run CUDA VST plug-ins in a separate thread (making larger block processing more efficient) and the lack of coherency in buffering schemes used by various different VST hosts complicating the above issues. It may become more practical to implement this feature in future using newer GPU architectures.

CoolColJ : im music producer too, where i can listen your music ?

Waiting for the same thing here! Screw the mega-expensive proprietary DSP cards if we can use our GPUs for it.CoolColJ wrote:I write and mix music, my main hobby, and I'm drooling at the thought of Cuda accelerated audio plugins and software now!
