RE: GPU boxes

The is also the amfeltec gpu cluster and the http://www.hwtools.net/Adapter/PE4C%20V3.0.html for the more do it yourself approach. We rendered our student short out using Octane standalone via the network between 3 machines and it positively flew. Some usbC external gpu chassis that are now

Re: GPU boxes

External gpu boxes work great with octane, not so well with redshift, due to the increased communication between cpu, gpu and system memory, it really needs a decent number of pcie 3 lanes to run at full speed. On 5 April 2016 at 13:46, Ognjen Vukovic wrote: > Why doesn't

Re: GPU boxes

Why doesn't someone start building these things directly in an air condition unit? That would make sense. And it would produce some pretty cool renders... On Tue, Apr 5, 2016 at 2:32 PM, Mirko Jankovic wrote: > Yes but also need a bit more custom case so that

Re: GPU boxes

Yes but also need a bit more custom case so that placeholders for 4 radiators are near cards :))) On Tue, Apr 5, 2016 at 2:29 PM, Cristobal Infante wrote: > The other option is to get some of this hybrid cards, with cooling > included. There are more expensive, but I guess you

Re: GPU boxes

The other option is to get some of this hybrid cards, with cooling included. There are more expensive, but I guess you won't melt them so easily ;) http://www.fudzilla.com/news/graphics/37369-evga-announces-new-gtx-980-hybrid-graphics-card https://www.instagram.com/p/BCPYR7DmAZp/ On 5 April

Re: GPU boxes

Also keep in mind that 8 GPU server requires also 2 Xeons which are lot more expensive then i7 CPUs. Put everything on paper and see the math. Btw I advise highly against water cooling cards for GPU. First it adds to a price a lot which would better be used on better GPUs, CPU, more ram Also

Re: GPU boxes

Hi Adam, You 2 routes, DIY/MOD or getting a SERVER chassis (more expensive). SERVER https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhZJ66l82r8=youtu.be If you are any good at building/modding computers, than you can try buidling one yourself with the help of geeks from the internerds..

Re: GPU boxes

Also not much experience with GPU boxes but what I don;t really get is what takes care of rendering with so many GPUs on single CPU? For example you have single 5960x CPU and 64GB ram. Even with 4 cards I've bin locking down CPU at 100% from time to time and also RAM as well. Talking about

Re: GPU boxes

I dont know much about the gpu boxes, but i would advise you to wait a bit for pascal to be released. I saw yesterday that amazon was doing clearances on "games" hardware so i presume it wont be long now as they seem to be clearing out the shelves. On Tue, Apr 5, 2016 at 1:00 PM, Adam Seeley

GPU boxes

Hi Softies/Blendies/Houdies etc. I was thinking about boosting Redshift render power a bit with a gtx980ti or two. Does anyone have experience with using external GPU boxes that can be plugged into their workstations? It seems like a cleaner, more scaleable and more flexible solution than

Hi all, good see you again. I'll share my scripts that enable to emulate the softimage's sticky/supra behaviour in maya. https://github.com/yamahigashi/MayaStickySupraTool Because of i have a poor English any correction of the doc or any advice will be very appreciated. Cheers, -- Softimage
