This and Vray RT would be so awesome. Might have to save up!
Titan X offers the same rendering performance for nearly a 5th of the price…only 12 GB of memory but the chipset is basically identical. Quadros are the best all round gpus for workstations but geforce cards work really well with dcc apps like max and maya providing you get a good one…you’ll really see a difference if you try to use CAD software like solidworks/alias though. The significance of this release is the vRam which is huge and will really help render larger scenes on the gpu.
Keep an eye on GTC 2016 that’s where the really cool stuff should hopefully be announced.
NVIDIA Pascal chipsets should start to raise the bar for GPU rendering. More vRam and better compute performance.
It’s the memory that matters the most to me right now and that’s why I’d want it. With 24GB of VRAM, you can fit a decent amount of textures/geometry. No other GPU offers that capability. And like Juraj said, you can’t get more VRAM by running SLI (at the moment).
With this cad, you can work with _fairly_ heavy scenes and get super quick feedback on how the final shot will look like in any GPU renderer.
Both AMD and Nvidia are soon to move to 14-16 nm finFET. It will be a big leap, especially for AMD. It would be wise, if someone can wait, to hold out for those products to come out later this summer.
As current realtime renders support multiple GPU, probably more wise is to buy 4 Titan X and have 48GB vRam for the same 5k bucks.
That’s not how memory works. 4xTitanX is still 12GB. There have been rumours in past about various nVidia chipsets which might offer such stacking but that hasn’t been delivered, and if it ever will, it will come with performance hit.
Currently the best choice would be to wait for X2 with 16GB ram.
Damn, this card has 16GB more ram than my system. They are ramping up to deliver 32GB & 48GB graphics cards.
