How could I render Faster?

[Juan Carlos Herrera]

Hi, my computer takes to much to render (7hrs) and i wanted to see if there could be an option to upgrade the gpu or the cpu without bottlenecking to much the PC. The specs of my computer are:

- Cpu: i7-8700K

- Gpu: Gtx 1080

- Ram: 32gb

To do the work I use a ssd m2 (970 Evo)

 

Cheers!

What are you rendering with? What programs?

[LukeSavenije]

I know programs like solidworks benefit a lot from quadro's. maybe that's something?

[manikyath]

render what, with which software?

[Bananasplit_00]

rendering what using what software? diffrent software likes wildly diffrent things. Adobe programs want fast cores, solidworks wants quadros...

[Jurrunio]

depends on the program you're using. Some just want CPU power, in which a Threadripper 1950X/2950X is the best value. Some are GPU based, a few supporting multiple graphics cards at the same time (doesnt need to be the same GPU, and can crank them to 99%). Some douche software just want quadros or radeon pros...

I render in Vray, the modelling in 3dsmax Im rendering this file

GPU acceleration is an option.  Have a look at this forum.

If you want to speed up things for vray, you can look into upgradeing your cpu or maybe adding more ram  But long render times can come down to a lot of things (like render setting) or poly count, output resolution, etc. low noise high quality and resolution renders take a lot of time. (e.g. i do building exteriors  and interiors that take 2-8 for a single frame in 4K)

 but a few quick tips:

- use proxies and instances as much as you can

- check render settings

- remove every unused geometry

First..

 

NO quadro- it is useless.. better get some good GTX... 

 

but I assume you are rendering on CPU

 

RAM would help only if you have too little ram to render the scene.. in other case it is irrelevant

 

My best shot would be optymizing your render settings.. scene - it really looks like simple scene... should render in like.. 30 min? max

 

Faster CPU would help for sure, but for the first thing I would check the render settings in vray

 

For example I can alter the settings so the scene taking normally 30 minutes to render will be calculating forever...

 

That is your know how- how to get the shortest render times with good quality
