This channel is great. You are easy to understand (especially for me who doesn't come from an English-speaking country), you seem to be knowledgeable, the lighting in the videos looks great, the framing is great and the sound is great. The videos feel very professional. Too bad channels like this are not getting more attention.
Thanks for your fantastic Video!! Just two Question: Is there a mainboard, mustn´t be a new one, you recommend for this combination? Is it also recommendable to do a SLI with a quadro p4000? Couldn´t find anything about it. Thank you for any answer. best regards!!
SLI would not really do you any good for the P4000. and I dont even know if that was supported on the GPU. You can get any good z490 or z590 MOBO and it should support dual GPUs
oh my god, i am soo happy i have found your channel, i love your channel, this is what i have been trying to find for ages. bloomin linus doesn't do this stuff. as a student, i can only dream or wish to be able to get a computer with two 3090's :( your computer is a pipe dream for me. can you please do the Disney Moana scene test please with 2 x 3090 and 2 x 3080
Hi Dom, First thanks for the kind words about the channel. Second the Moana Scene crashes the RTX3080 as there is not enough Vram on that GPU. So best to stick to the RTX3090 as a minimum for this scene.
Hi. May I ask one question? I mainly use the Gpu for lookdev, meaning that the materials are constantly loaded in Gpu at every tiny change while testing materials. Sometimes it takes several seconds each time, causing time loss and impatience in the end of the day. The actual render time for a whole scene or sequence isn't important. That being said, which is more important now that I'm buying a new GPU - memory/vram or Cuda? Thanks in advance.
I would have to say vRAM as you are loading textures into GPU memory. But to process that texture, it requires the Cuda cores. What gpu are you currently using?
Thanks! Thanks and one more thanks! That is what I was looking for. I use The Cinmea 4d and Redshift in my work. As I understood from your video the 2xRTX 3080 rendered in 36 sec and 2x RTX 3070 in 41 sec. So the different is not so big and the purchase of 2x RTX 3070 is more advisable if the VRAM is not so important?
Hi, great video and very helpful. I have a query and would be really great if you could help me with the same. I currently have an RTX A4000 and a RTX 2080ti on my system and I was only able to run them using Nvidia studio drivers. Can’t use the Quadro drivers as the 2080ti doesn’t detect in that case. I did a test on one of my files which has a city scene using Cinema 4D R26 and redshift and found that I was not able to utilise both Gpu’s effectively together. For examples one frame rendered in 1.22 secs with just the 2080Ti but with both GPUs I was getting 1.35 secs and then with just the RTX A 4000 I got 1.55 secs so I am little stumped. They were exact same files with exact same render settings with RTX ray tracing enabled and optix denoising also enabled. All other settings were set to default. Is it not possible to leverage these 2 gpu’s together do I have to change by GPU. Also another point to note the RTX A4000 is with a water block whereas the RTX 2080Ti is air cooled. My base system spec is Ryzen Threadripper 3960x 64 gb DDR4 Ram Corsair Asrock strx40 creator motherboard. And I am running them both on the 2 16x pice slots. Any help or information on this would be really helpful. Thanks.
I am very much confused between 3060ti and 3060 bcz I want to learn 3D by using apps like Maya, but I'm confused should I go with 3060 or 3060ti? Bcz the ti is 10% expensive than normal one. (The graphics card pricing are still 50% overpriced than MSRP)
Well that is hard to say as I have an RTX3060ti and it is quite fast for a lower end GPU, but the rtx3060 has the 12GB of Vram. So I would have to say, go for the 12GB in the RTX3060 and render slower. When your skills increase and you create more complex scenes, the extra Vram will come in handy.
@@MediamanStudioServices I thought rtx 3060 ti would be better as you had told that only in your older videos😂😂 but okay thanks then, I'll go with 3060 on your suggestion. 😁
its the 12GB Vram that changed my mind and as you are learning 3D this would be my choice for you. For production studios, i would recommend a RTX3060ti as time is money in production. And they would render on the farm for production work.
yes you can, but I would look at price vs performance and see if two A4000 is worth purchasing. I will be doing some testing of the Axxx GPU later next week and I will post a video of the results.
How to know the amount of Vram used by the RS? This is the most important thing when choosing a graphics card. In Octane we have the caption that shows us.
I use Nvidia RTX A5000 and C4d for redshift (2 Xeon Gold 6154). And I`m worry about slowness of rendering. Maybe someone has experience or knows what is the reason. thank you
I recently just found your channel and absolutely love that you cover these softwares and render engines. Thank you so much. Im sharing this channel with my co-workers, we are always talking about this stuff 😊 As mentioned from some other comments, would love to see the A4000 on redshift/octane. There is almost nothing online about the A4000 Render performance.
Great idea. I have been look for a method to represent this performance in the viewport. I need to look at animation as well as environment creation and modeling. So I need a scene that will be a good sample for this project. You know of anyone that has such a scene?
Hi Oswaldo Sabando, I don't have a A4000 yet, but when I do I will make a video. Please stay tuned to the channel as I have the A5000 vs. the RTX3080 next week.
I find vram use confusing. If you have a 3090 with 24gb and memory use is 90% and then you try same scene with a 3080’with only 10gb, memory use is still 90% and performance is similar at least in this video. How do you know if the additional memory is actually helping. Or just a waste of money.
This is something that confused me when I firstly started Redshift and it was always nearly maxing out my VRAM even on tiny scenes. This is on purpose. Redshift is taking up as much VRAM as it can to improve speed.
Sir, I'm currently having Ryzen 2600 with Tomahawk B450 motherboard and MSi 3070 . I'm about to have another system with 5900x and another 3070, but I'm confused about the motherboard. My knowledge about Mobo's is very limited. Kindly suggest best budget Mobo that can support Two GPU's. Also, can my existing B450 tomahawk manage two 3070's?
Yes, you MOBO can use two GPUs. But with ryzen and intel desktop systems, there is limitations to PCIe lans with direct communication to the CPU. So your systems will be limited to 8x PCIe lanes on both PCIe slots for dual GPU set ups. Now this will work and all data will be sent to the GPUs but at a lower bandwidth. Check out my video on workstations vs desktop computers for more information. ruclips.net/video/KpBWaiWcXAk/видео.html
@@MediamanStudioServices Thank you so.. Much sir. Cleared my doubt completely. Now, I understand the importance of Threadripper system. But incase I choose to go for 5900x system, for a step by step upgrade, what would be your suggestion for futureproof MOBO choice?
@@vaibhavtailang For lower end MOBO, I like the ASUS prime 570-p CMS. It has a good VRM for power management. But not all the options like wifi. For a more expensive board I like the ASrock 570 THACHI. But there is not much of an upgrade path for the AM4 desktop systems as this is the last Gen boards for the AMD 5xxx CPUs. The next gen CPUs will be on the AM5 socket and you can not upgrade the CPU in the future.
Thanks for the video! I'm currently running dual Asus Geforce Turbo RTX 3080 cards. However I just purchased the Nvidia RTX 3090 Ti Founders Edition... I've heard that using a dual GPU setup will only be able to utilize the VRAM from the lowest VRAM amount (according to a test from Pugent, but back in 2018). So would running a 3090 Ti and 3080 only utilize the 10GB of VRAM from the 3080? I'm curious if running the 3090 Ti and 3080 together would be recommended? Thanks for any insight! *just an update - I ended up just going with two 3080Ti Founder’s Edition, to keep it consistent

in theory, you can.

I have problem: device not found, when I use redshift render. I use gtx 1070
that could be many reasons. You see the GPU in device manager and with in your 3D app? and also update the Nvidia drivers.
Same problem

Leadteck but I believe they do not make them anymore as Nvidia asked all AIB to discontinue the blower style GPUs

If scene uses 90% of 24gb vram on 3090. Wouldn’t it then be out of core on 3080 that only has 10gb??
Try testing arnold and corona ... also which programs take advantage of nvlink ... I don't think blender does for instance.
Corona is a crap compared to RS and Arnold. Also a shit for animations, it only works for Archviz which uses pretty basic shaders.
What power supply would you recommend for two 3080 and two 3090? Is it enough 1200W for two 3080?
1000W can be marginally enough for dual 3090 (2×350W + 300W for the rest of the system). 1200W would be a safer choice.
