Indigo Renderer Forum

Right now I own a GTX 560Ti and wasn't able to test V4 with GPU unfortunately. Price-performance-wise I thought about AMD (RX 480), but open cl performance seemed a bit disappointing in the forums... GTX 1070 is also interesting, but I'm a bit alienated by the mem allocation failure that CoolColJ reported with the bedroom scene
Do you have a good tip of which card to buy? Not for gaming, only for rendering, mainly complex interieurs (=> RAM?), in the price range of < 350€ ideally. Does the GTX 1060 6GB render all the test scenes?

THANKS for some hints!!

Lycium/Thomas has a 1070 and it's amazingly quick. CoolColJ might have had some sort of bug, because lycium renders the bedroom scene just fine. 1060 should be great as well, in general the new Pascal generation appears to be the best choice for Indigo right now. The 480's performance is OK but not great, but I think they'll be looking at optimising for that a bit.

Two Radeon RX480?

AMD Crossfire™
Harness the power of multiple GPUs.
AMD CrossFire™ technology is the ultimate multi-GPU performance gaming platform. Unlocking game-dominating power, AMD CrossFire™ harnesses the power of two or more discrete graphics cards working in parallel to dramatically improve gaming performance.1 AMD CrossFire™ technology ready graphics cards fit practically every budget. With the flexibility to combine two, three or four GPUs, AMD CrossFire™ technology is the perfect solution for those who demand extreme performance.

Thanks!

2x RX480 is really something to consider, a whooping >10 teraflops AND if I buy one now I can still "upgrade" with another one later.
So it is really just RX 480 vs GTX 1060 for me I think.

Sounds like you just copy and pasted some press text here contegufo.

Indigo doesn't use crossfire or SLI at all, every GPU gets communicated to individually...

We still have to numbers about how well the 480 perform, there just has been some massive memory leak fixed in the last build of Indigo lets hope to get some numbers soon

For me it will be waiting out until Vega, since it finally aims to be some high end AMD GPU.

Vega=mid 2017

Vega=first half of 2017

Get a GTX 1070, or two if you can afford it

On my two GTX 1070 the testscenes are running fine, and one 1070 is as fast as a 1080 ,which I had before, in Indigo. So go for a 1070, the 1060 might also be fine but has only 6GB vram. In this price range I think I would prefer a RX 480.

Performance wise: 1060. If you're wary of mem limits, go with the 480.

Thanks, that helps a lot!
I think I'll go for the 480, perhaps the nvidia 1060 is the better choice, but if I one day (if ever!) hit its mem max, I'll be angry and regret the decision

It seems 1070 is almost 2x faster then 480 in Indigo, but I'm not sure, anyone can confirm?
I'll probably go for 1060 as I can always render heavy scenes on CPU.

The Devs just said that there will be a benchmark tool out very soon: http://www.indigorenderer.com/forum/vie ... =5&t=14133

I would suggest to wait a little until its out and you'll get some nice database with benchmark results

Some perf results in the mean time:

GTX 1070 + overclock:
Bedroom: 3.884
Supercar: 12.885

RX 480 @ stock clocks:
Bedroom: 1.928
Supercar: 6.261


So yeah, pretty much exactly 2x faster if you overclock the 1070 a bit.

Well...if you have that kind of $ laying around and just collecting dust and smells funny too.
