Great video! very nice to see Blender incorporating AMD support, I will stick with green team for now due to power consumption and efficient thermals. One thing to note though, which is a common mistake for computer hardware noobs, is that yes, it's got dual GPUs with 16gb each, this does NOT mean 32Gb. You will still only have available at a time, 16Gb per GPU. SO yes, it has 32GB of ram, but because it's dual GPU, you will render faster with two tiles, but your scene can't go above 16Gb. And so also, you can't buy two Graphics cards and expect their memory to stack either. Kind of a disappointment if you didn't know that, i remember when the Titan Z came out, and I thought it would have 12gb usable for a scene, but actually only 6gb, because it was also a dual GPU card. But however, for the price of just over $1000 US, 16GB is still an accomplishment.

Thanks Mason, and I agree with that! Its too bad you cant use all 32GB in a single scene. But yeah 16GB is still awesome, and to my research the cheapest Nvidia card with 16GB is a Quadro that costs $2000+.

Yes indeed, that's probably going to change shortly though, as Nvidia will be put in a position to be competitive with high end pricing now, as seen even recently with the 1080ti. My guess is that the next Titan or high end consumer card will have upwards of 18Gb at probably $1200. seen as their consumer cards are already sporting 11Gb of VRAM.
@MasonMenzies

Indeed, Not so much a misconception, the the assumption that for rendering you NEED the extra VRAM, where in actuality it's only necessary if you can saturate the buffer. In fact Nvidias high end Quadro sports the same GPU as the Titan x, but costs an additional 2 grand. Very unfortunate.

Mason Menzies This Radeon Pro Duo is actually more power efficient at rendering than anything from the "green team". It only consumes about as much as a single GTX 1080 ti, but it renders much faster than even the Titan Xp (which is only a few percent faster than the GTX 1080 ti). But, this efficiency does not apply to AMD's gaming cards. P.S. AMD actually had a team work on Cycles to make the OpenCl work on AMD cards.

I just want to clarify something for people. The card in this video is the Polaris version of the Radeon Pro Duo: www.amd.com/en-us/products/graphics/workstation/radeon-pro/duo# This is basically two Radeon RX 480 GPUs (or two Radeon Pro WX7100 GPUs) on the same board, except each GPU has 16GB instead of the maximum of 8GB in the other cards. This should not be confused with the previous Radeon Pro Duo (the liquid cooled version), which has only 8GB of RAM (4GB of HBM for each GPU). That is basically two R9 Fury X GPUs on one board. And, it has significantly more processing power than the latest Radeon Pro Duo. In fact, it should have no issue beating a Titan Xp. And, it seems to be going for a high price, although a used one seems easy to find on eBay for

No, thank _you!_ I only ran across the Radeon Pro Duo when looking up the card after watching your video. I had no idea about it. This really is an appealing card for Cycles. How it actually performs faster than merely 2x RX 480s is interesting. And, its power consumption is amazing. It roughly has the performance of 2x GTX 1080s while consuming the power of a single GTX 1080 ti. I can't help but wonder why the power consumption of the RX 480 is so high compared to the WX 71000 and compared to this card.

FairZack234 I think it _has_ been replaced by Vega FE. These are some "official" Blender 2.79 benchmarks. The horsepower of the Vega FE and the vRAM capacity are the same as the Radeon Pro Duo. www.blender.org/features/releases/2-79/#faster-opencl CG Geek gets quite a bit faster render times with the Radeon Pro Duo. Maybe this is due to his overclock? I wonder if optimizing the tile size for each GPU tested would give different results than just all the cards using the same tile size for a given scene. I have read that nVidia GPUs tend to prefer larger tile sizes than AMD GPUs. I don't know if this is responsible for the differences in the benchmarks since the official benchmarks do not list tile sizes. But, CG Geek seems to be using smaller tile sizes that may give the AMD GPUs an advantage.

What we really need is more vRAM options on these cards. I would happily trade off some render speed for more Vram. The 1080ti is super fast but 11GB is a bit tight in Blender when you do fluid simulation for instance. Having 16GB or 24GB on a card that would perform like a 1070 to keep price down would be great. 8GB is definitely not future proof for Blender. Shame we are stuck to max 11GB at around the 800dollars mark.

I might try and test my self control and try to continue to save for the pro duo. When you said the 1080 couldn't handle a scene frame from cosmic laundromat, you broke me. haha Learning is good. Thanks man. Live long and prosper. :) Edit: I was just wondering, if you're CPU rendering, can you manually allocate video RAM from your system RAM? I think you used to be able to do this but my IT skills are a bit out of date. I saw on Blender Guru that CPU rendering is slower than GPU, but I was thinking that if I had a pretty decent CPU and set windows to prioritize application processes,(Blender), and I had a buttload of RAM, with most of it reserved for video RAM, I could theoretically compensate for my GPU inadequacies. If not I think I'm going to have to settle for an RX580 as this seems like the best bang for buck at the moment, and I'm jonesing to get my feet wet. Thanks again for all your advice.

Practically any NVIDIA GPU from the last 3 or 4 years will work just fine, even a 1660 Ti for around $300 would do the job perfectly. In terms of AMD cards, I'm not sure about the more recent ones. I know for a fact that NVIDIA is going to absolutely work great though. The reason why NVIDIA cards are favored for Blender is because they utilize CUDA architecture, which is vastly superior for stuff like Blender when compared to the architecture used in AMD GPUs. There is a workaround for this, called OpenCL. It's basically a CUDA emulator. While Blender does support OpenCL, the harsh reality is that OpenCL is significantly slower than direct hardware access to a GPU with CUDA cores. Recently AMD has been working with Blender to create a new rendering engine designed specifically for AMD GPUs, it's called Radeon ProRender. I have an R9 290x which is very antiquated by today's standards (however it is still a fairly powerful card, at least for gaming), and while it's technically supported by ProRender, it's still faster for me to just render directly off of the CPU than use OpenCL GPU rendering or ProRender. It's possible that the new ProRender engine works just as good as GPU rendering with a CUDA card, but I have no experience testing that.

HOW DO YOU COMPARE YOURSELF WITH BLENDER GURU?
@daanimegoatman6683

Quite an interesting video. Though I have to ask, as a person who wants to create animation. What type of computer and graphics card would I need to render animation more efficiently? (Keep in mind that I want to make a more cartoonish animation rather than trying to add as much detail like most people.)

Hi Steve, Thx for explanation, awesome! I am considering to build an eGPU for my MacBook Pro 2017(TB3x2) running rendering with Blender (no Gaming) I read some doc that the TB 3 is split 22 GB for data transfer and 18 GB for display. And the displaying has higher priority than data transfer and both are independently! Meaning we can use bandwidth for data transfer max. 22GB. Since I need an eGPU only for rendering, I probably don’t need to worry about displaying issue. The only question ist if 22GB bandwidth absolutely enough for any third party midrange or high-end graphic card? I am choosing AMD rx Vega 64 or higher. How do I know how much bandwidth those graphic cards will use? Best regards

What is missing from this video is discussing HBCC on Vega. It allows Gooseberry to render on an 8GB Vega 56. Flashed to 64 bios, but that matters not. forum.level1techs.com/t/the-vega-whatever-thread-anything-on-vega/117081/763

1080ti or Radeon Pro Duo I'm looking to start messing with (Disney) quality animated shorts but need a recommended GPu for the build I'm doing. Which one should I get?
@CGGeek
7 жыл бұрын
Radeon Pro Duo will render faster, and give you 5 more gigabytes of Vram, but also costs 200-300 more. So will depend on your budget, and the scale of scenes you're rendering.

Not yet, really want to though! From what I've seen I expect the Pro Duo to still be better in pure rendering benchmarks. But Vega Fe definitely has the edge for real-time game engines etc.

CG Geek What CPUs would you prefer? I was thinking about Threadripper but I think R7 1700 would suffice. Trying to avoid bottlenecking the GPu. I think I'll probably go with the Vega FE for the pro drivers and the HBBC feature and 16gb HBM2. Mostly going for rendering, game development, animation, and testing using 4k assets.
@CGGeek

Sounds like a good choice! and the Ryzen 1700 will be fine to avoid bottlenecking, unless you plan on running a multi-GPU setup. In that case you might want to consider Threadripper.

Your render times for the BMW seen are really odd. I have two 980 TI‘s and they render this scene in blender 2.93 in 57 seconds! That’s faster than your dual 1080s and also faster than the Radion pro duo. Do you think it’s because of optimization in the new version of blender that’s made it so fast?

Hey Steve, I have a question. My simulations run really slowly for the quality that I require & I was wondering which would help more with this situation a better processor (I currently have a Ryzen 3 1300), or more Ram (I currently have 2 8g sticks)? I don't have money for real so when I do buy something I'd like to know it's for what I need. Thx.
@eaglefat9398

a better processor would help for sure, 16gb of ram should be enough and if you're using all the ram it will usually tell you or just crash. i'd say your best option is a ryzen 2600 for $160 its 6cores/12threads and overclocks to 4.1Ghz it would nearly double your speed www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/AMD-Ryzen-3-1300X-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-2600/3057vs3243 You could also get a used RX 480 8Gb for $125ish which would render even faster but it limit you to half as much ram and im not sure but i think baking still takes place on the cpu so im not sure a gpu will help for what you're doing, i'd need more information to give a better answer

Something is wrong here, when I render an image it's usually 2 minutes here but an image while rendering 125 frames of a short film takes 10 minutes all the time, with the random 17 mins. How are your 10 minute renders with a graphics card? How HUGE are your scenes? What's going on here? How will the G card change mine life?

I hate the fact that blender is so focused on NViDIA. It’s a nightmarish company. It has been pain for both Linux and Apple. They have one thing done very well and that’s a very easy api to use GPU architecture. I hope an open source project comes that makes AMD easier to use

Lucas Aielo You can try Linus Tech Tips, but I would suggest Tech Deals first. Tech Deals videos are a bit boring, but their videos focus on item A vs item B and why and when you should buy one or the other. I would suggest that, if your new machine's purpose is blender, focus on GPU above everything else. I was running blender on a 8 year old i7 930/16gb ram/1080gtx and saw no real difference when i bought a i7 6800 with 64gb of ram when rendering. I did see a 2x improvement when i got a second 1080gtx.

!!! Vram doesn't add up! Two gpus with 8gb of vram each in sli have a combined vram of 8gb because the data gets cloned to each card. On the amd side, each gpu gets the amount of vram, the smallest (the least vram) card has

Я Ilan Zatonski doesn't matter. On nvidoas side you can just use 2 of the same gpus in sli. On amds side, you can mix and match gpus, but you only get the amount of vram that the cards with the least ampunt of vram has.

4GB more Vram with the Pro Duo (16Gb per GPU), but xp will beat it in gaming. Depends what your main use will be? Render times will likely be pretty similar in most scenes.
