A video has been posted showing the new network mode of Iray running on NVidia’s Nitro, a bank of 260 GPUs. Watch it on YouTube. (Note: the first section shows the demo running on two NVidia K6000 GPUs, the second section shows the demo running on Nitro.)

Not that the speed is not impressive, but If I see one more GPU renderer demo showing a car on an HDR backplate I will have a freaking stroke.
Iray another tool that gets better and better except in Max.
Can’t see the point of using 260 GPUs for a screen size HDRI render.
260 GPUs…just for one car ???
hum.. : “With Iray, the futur seems to be far far far far far away !”
(should be a good tagline 🙂
Yeah, I really don’t see the point of this – throwing GPUs (and power) at it.
It just looks incredibly wasteful.
so either 2 NVidia K6000 GPUs or 260 Gpu’s…both don’t look as fast as Fprime (came out in 2002 and works on ANY cpu) or lightwave’s VPR or modo’s previewer all of these just use the CPU and perform fast than 260 gpu’s by the looks of it..
“iRay the worlds slowest GPU renderer ever.”
Oh, come on, cut them some slack. This isn’t about iray, it’s about iray+ from Lightworks. Their customers don’t DO rendering. It’s not the point for them, rendering is something that needs to happen in the background while they do their REAL work, like automotive surfacing or other ID work. You might be an expert at rendering, so you think you can do a lot better, and you probably can, but iray+ is a system that literally can be used by ANYONE to make photorealistic rendering.
