But you can set up RR to work per GPU though, right Tim?

We're still on RR 6 but maybe we need to upgrade to 7 so we can have multiple render nodes on machines. Guess I better talk to the bossman and see about getting a license upgrade. Thanks Tim!

Workstations have 1. Like Matt and Mirko said, because of non-linear performance, you'll need to determine at what point you want to parallelize. And yes, you can have a machine with 4 cards, and 4 instances of RS each rendering on a separate card. However, be advised that all 4 instances of RS/XSI will pull from shared resources like the CPU and system RAM. If you can swing Titan Xs, their 12GB of vram make a huge difference in performance, even if the specs of the card itself might not seem as appealing as the 908Ti. -Tim On 1/19/2016 2:52 AM, Matt Morris wrote:When I was at A Large Evil Corporation we replaced around 40 cpu nodes with 8 dual gpu nodes. With 2 cards the scaling is pretty good (around 1.85x). With 3 or 4 cards it would definitely be worth doing one frame per gpu.

Multiple cards per frame or a card per frame? Artur 2016-01-19 0:50 GMT+01:00 Tim Crowson <tim.crow...@magneticdreams.com <mailto:tim.crow...@magneticdreams.com>>: We're use a 'garden' really... about a dozen dedicated machines, most with 2xTitanX cards, and we have some workstations that can kick in if needed. You can get through a lot with far less than before. And if you need to upgrade, just pop in a different card. We went from dual 770s to dual TitanXs with zero hassle and the performance improvement was as expected: awesome. -Tim On 1/17/2016 11:38 AM, Graham Bell wrote:I'd really like us to look at Redshift but too embedded with Vray. Keeping an eye on the possible Max integration as that could turn heads. How big a farm are people using for Redshift, because we do a lot of rendering.

I have done a fair amount of testing with Redshift too and find on average scenes to be 5-10 times faster than Arnold with comparable quality, plus a number of things are simpler to set up the way you want it, in part because of the rapid feedback in the renderregion. I have yet to test it on really complex scenes, so that will be the next thing to check. I agree on a lack of shader support in certain parts, especially compared to Arnold/Sitoa, so it is reassuring that Burtnyk and Co are so responsive :) We will likely also incorporate it to some extent when it supports vdb and volumetric rendering and see where it takes us.
