Spicing up my rendering machine
🕑 Added 2019-03-06 13:32:46 +0000 UTCHey all!
I've been working hard on rendering images for the other game and I'm almost done (95% done).
I've bought 2 additional video cards. Before I started working on MA40, I had only 1 old video card GTX 1050ti, now I have 2 additional video cards (GTX 970 and GTX 1070ti) and I can say that the times needed for rendering dropped significantly.
For comparison my old video card is 4GB VRAM which means I wasn't been able to render scenes with more than 2 characters and that card has only 768 CUDA shaders (the more shaders the GPU has = the less time is needed for rendering). My new cards boosted the CUDA shaders with 1664 (GTX 970) + 2432 (GTX 1070ti) and now the total count is 4864 CUDA shaders. That means I can provide more images per update and I can improve the image quality.
Also my new 1070ti has 8GB of VRAM which means now I can render images with more than 2-3 characters in one scene.
Long story, short: There will be more images per update and those images will be with better quality.
I won't remove the goal for upgrading my rendering machine because I kept my promise without meeting the goal, so I think it's only fair if we try to hit that goal.
I'll post a v0.10 progress update as soon as I finish rendering images for MA40 (2 or 3 days max from now).
And as I'm always saying,
I really appreciate your support and your trust in my work.
I wish you all have a good day!

Nothing terrible was there, only 500 MB of memory runs in a slower mode. Big problems with reliability are in the RTX series, as well as Nvidia itself.

970 video cards had a problem when they came out so nvida had to give some money back to people with the 970 the 970 didnt do what they said it can do when it came out

I have some asset compatibility issues with my 970... Some assets cause my 970 to idle, I don't know if it is Daz or OS issue, tried couple of different drivers but the problem is still here. In order to avoid idleing have to start render with nude models, cancel that render, put the clothes back and re-render again (without shutting down the Daz Studio)... It's weird, I know :) Other than that, everything is great and I'm so happy

1070 is good for 1080p rendering
