You should try sequences, the first frame is usually slowed down by the cpu

[@nickberckley]

Looking at your viewport animations I noticed how different they look from your final renders. I would be very interested if you did a video on your post-production and editing, what effects do you use and especially how you use noise to make scenes more realistic

[@TheRealLink]

Just finally picked mine up a few weeks ago and have been benching it. It just chews through Blender renders for the most part and man, it's nuts! I'll release some benches of my own in another couple weeks.

[@DanielPartzsch]

Thanks. Did you do comparisons between CUDA and optix (I mean the settings in the systems preferences). For me usually optix is faster I just found out that with the new hair curves system CUDA gives you faster renderes. Would be interested to know how the 4090 performs here?

[@felipeandrade7940]

So anyone that haven’t updated in the lasts years. Now it’s a great moment to grab a 30 series. I’ll stick to my 3090 for some time

[@MoCo_Filmmaker]

Yeah, watch for deep discounts and if you're willing the used market is even better. I am glad I waited out the shortage and Crypto crazy. Was able to snag a new 3090 for about a grand US with taxes & shipping! :O

[@cardbarry5326]

Yeah, I'll also buy a 3090 and maybe upgrade to 4090 once the prices go down

[@johntnguyen1976]

Would be kinda cool to see you and a few other Blend-tubers that have a 4090...and you guys really put one insanely heavy scene to the test. But the catch is....each of you guys would have to try and optimize it so that it renders faster than the other's. 🤷🏽‍♂️🤣

[@mauriceshapero7200]

Great video - thank you! What do you set your preferences to with the 4090? Cuda or Optix?

[@josepht1575]

planning to run a 4090 when i can get a fe card. I've got a 3090 on water right now. going to run both for blender use. It should be interesting to see what the viewport speeds are like lol

[@stiven_4207]

that was exactly what I needed , thank you so much

[@_its.just.regi_]

Watched your video and tested my dual 3090s set up against your numbers, at least for the files I had access to. Found in most cases that I was only a half a second to a full second slower in most rendered scenes, and had roughly the same viewport experience (cycle viewport took a couple of seconds longer to clean up fully, but transversal was equal). The bird rig also under cycles ran about 22- 24fps in the cycles viewport w/the background visible. Given the (un)availability of the new cards and price, the potential of having to upgrade an entire system including your case...maybe running a dual setup might be a better option than jumping on the newer cards. Card prices are low on the 3000 series, drivers are battle-tested, ample stock to be had, and heat can be controlled by undervolting.

[@lolmao500]

The only advantage of 4090 is the power usage, doing the same work as 2 3090 with half the power usage.

[@_its.just.regi_]

@@lolmao500 Undervolting helps...something that seems that can't be done without losing performance on the new 4000 series

[@FluxStage]

Wonderful to learn! Thank you, just popped in my first 3090 and looking for a second one currently. Fantastic! and yes. Will UV.

[@MIchaelSybi]

Rule of thumb: you should upgrade when getting double the speed.

[@XP750]

correct me if im wrong but the viewport only uses one gpu, so with a 4090 you are able to preview much faster than using a single 3090

[@ompeezy]

Been looking to upgrade to a new build now that I'm starting to do a lot of 3D and VFX work... the 24 second render time sold me!!!! Putting a build together ASAP!

[@jordannyambe5563]

What's the specs for your PC build? I know you were trying to jump straight into the video, but could you tell the viewers what are the specs for your PC Build? processor type? ram? Are you using liquid cooling or Air Cooling? I would like to know.

[@DarkNoggin]

Thanks for a great video! I just unboxed my RTX 4090/ 13900K build and i am a little underwhelmed by the performance. The blender sample water scene is rendering in 70 seconds for me and you it at 24 seconds!? That’s almost 3x- HELP! Lol 🙏🏻 Any suggestions.

[@samueltc1716]

ima bit confused i got 2 and a half seconds on the ian hubrets project file with my rtx 3060

[@chalkpix]

Hi Even I m learning blender.. I just want to know what is the best configuration required for blender... I m planing to buy new desktop (computer)... To enhance blender learning & for job also.. Please give me some suggestion to build good configuration system... Thank u sir

[@joshhockey9]

On the first scene with a 1660 super I got 5m27s. With a 3060 12gb I got 1m34s. Both were done twice with persistent data so I could get numbers without the build time getting in the way. Everything else is stock.

[@MultiArtartart]

i thought A series cards to be the best, but i also heard they are best to use for IA learning...

[@chrisbullock6477]

I used to work 32-CoreThreadripper Workstations with 2080TI and then rtx 3090. Threadripper or even the new 7950X cpu and a 4090 is a match made in heaven especially if you work in tv or film. The real time rendering on Threadripper and EPYC on the cpu side alone is amazing and then the added benefits the 4090 brings is another level.

[@ricbattaglia6976]

Hi, with Blender, for interior design render, is better with a 2000eu CPU or with 4090GPU (finale render and realtime viewport)? And in Cinema4d with Corona (easier maybe)? Thanks a lot!

[@MIchaelSybi]

​@@ricbattaglia6976 Corona is CPU only, though it supports Nvidia denoising, which is also nice. You should pick the renderer first. I'd pick a videocard, if you opt out from CPU and GPU, for a general usage, as Threadripper platform is quite expensive to build (motherboard+cooling+memory+CPU may be up to 3-4k I guess altogether). Additional benefit of GPU you can run games and many monitors, and RTX cores will get handy in many applications. But if you specialize in inderior rendering, it's likely you'll use Corona, so you need a good CPU.

[@ricbattaglia6976]

@@MIchaelSybi Thanks, i think i'll use Blender with Optix or better 3dsMax with Vray with 4090 and a good sinlgw core CPU...

[@MIchaelSybi]

@@ricbattaglia6976 Vray is very good for GPU rendering, though if you aim for most realism, Corona is the king. Maybe just look for 7950k, which will cost you much less.

[@ricbattaglia6976]

@@MIchaelSybi Thanks! But a same project€file is faster with GPU ... right?

Thank you for the data. What is the spec of your computer? memory amount, CPU and other details.

[@Arcs3D]

How was the GPU temperature while rendering?

[@getfanmedia]

Highly appreciated

[@TF242]

Is it possible to see your settings?

[@donutbedum9837]

What resolution is your viewport?

[@gtaonline3542]

I would love to see simulation test both from blender and from houdini if possible, sculpting performance like how much polygon it can handle and does it have any effect at all ? also, make clear for which cases cpu is necessary and for which cases gpu is necessay, thats a thing a lotta people dont know

[@UnknownDino]

Sculpting and simulations are mostly dependent on cpu. Only the final look gets loaded to the gpu to be rendered.

[@stephenbrown7924]

From what I've seen and heard about so far, the 4090 is a rendering beast. I have concerns about the connecting cables melting though. I've heard that the cables are too whimpy and can't handle the power load. What say you?

[@kidgoldenarm]

What CPU were you using?

[@thatguyfromca]

what about super detailed displacement?

[@rickywilliams1586]

Ayo! Why that bird cheeked up like that?

[@qubafootbag]

Help needed! I know you are rather artistic person and not a tech geek but I have just bought RTX 4090 and had some concerns about its speed. I downloaded demo scene you use at the video and my render times are: Blender 3.3 splash (first shown in your video) 4090: 60 seconds (!!?!) 3080Ti: 47,31 seconds 4090 + 3080Ti: 22,89 seconds Ice scene: 4090: 36,66 seconds 3080Ti: 74,49 seconds 4090 + 3090Ti: 26,48 seconds I used Blender 4.0.2 and I have processor AMD Threadripper 2990WX Do you have any idea what may cause such a slow rendering times? It is really intriguing as the benchmark scores using Blender benchmark tools are quite ok for 4090: monster scene: 5255, junkshop: 2445, clasroom: 2453 (samples per minute) the benchmark score shown in the browser was: 10155.08 which seemed to be ok Thank you very much for any kind of help!

[@qubafootbag]

Ok, I restarted Blender and new rendering times for 4090 were 26,32 s for splash 3.3 and 31,45 s for ice scene. A little bit slower than you had, but closer to reality. Just fyi to future internet generations combined results with 3080Ti remained the same

[@gauravgandhi1925]

we would like to see the comparison btw 4090 vs 3090 in blender (rener + simulation ) and other render engine like KEyshot / maya....better if comarison video to know its fast but HOW FAST....??

[@TheRealLink]

I can tell you in Blender it's minimum 2x as fast, sometimes 3x, scene depending. I'll be having a direct 3090 to 4090 comparison video on my channel maybe in 2-3 weeks (just got my card in and benching a lot).

[@aplus1gaming940]

in my PC any scene with 64 samples it take 6 min, to render

[@IslamicStorytimez]

i got 5950x , 128gb ram, now this gpu not tested will i see performance difference from rtx 2080 ti

[@user-fo9ce3hr5h]

Hello. I want to buy i5-13600k or i7-13700k. But my preference is to spend less money. For me, it is only important that the software does not lag or get stuck and the speed is low when working for 3D work and heavy rendering. Long output time is not important to me. I wanted to make sure if the i5-13600k can run 3D programs and rendering for heavy tasks smoothly and without problems. thank you.

[@myztazynizta]

Does anyone know when these cards will be in laptops? I almost bought a laptop with a 3060 in it yesterday.

[@jaromor8808]

lol never those are completely different products, nVidia simply being nVidia and playing dirty tricks with their naming

[@lenoirx]

maybe a mobile-adapted RTX 4090 GPU, but I doubt it will come soon since it requires a huge amount of power to run the card, which a laptop won't never handle due to TDP efficiency.

[@harunlisic]

Can it run crysis

[@hytalegermany1095]

1:24 I have an rtx 4090 as well but on gpu render it does not take 24 seconds bit 14 minutes in 300 Samples. What am I doing wrong?

[@ezramalachi4494]

Did you figure this issue out?

[@Avirath_]

Why is my 4090, rendering Slower than yours by 10 Seconds in these tests ? I have a Zotac RTx 4090 Trinity, is it because of that! ? Or am I doing something wrong ? Please help guide me 🙏🏼 I have a i9-13900K CPU and I’m using Optix. I’ve invested a lot and I want to make sure I’m getting the best out of it! Thank you!

[@joshhockey9]

Lots of possible reasons. Your CPU, RAM, and hard drive might be a bit slower, making it take longer to build a scene before the actual rendering starts. Your GPU might be clocked a little lower as some come overclocked from the factory, or just get lucky and boost a little higher. You might not be using enough cooling, so your card heats up faster and throttles earlier than his. A windows update can make it work better or worse, background apps can influence it, etc.

[@123jack7]

Can I ask if the i5 12400 CPU can use blender 3D well or choose i5 12600K, thanks!

THIS is what card was meant for. all these people out here buying up the card just to play fortnight on their i5 9600k is annoying.

[@carroux4050]

well, maybe they should market it as a "Quadro" or Titan card, instead of 4090. Then make a "normal" 4090 or 4080ti" for -500 less? Didn't they do the same thing with the LHR cards on the 3000 Series? People want to have 4090 gaming performance, but don't ususally need that power for Blender and Co. Why not serve every purpose?

[@AgentSmith13]

I’d like to know the rest of the specs on that machine because the 4090 is only 1 piece of the performance puzzle.

Can you put 3+ 3090 in SLI and speed up Blender?

[@legendhasit2568]

No, SLI only exists on Quadro / workstation cards now

[@joshhockey9]

No, but also yes. You can hook two together to share vram if you really need 48? GB using nvlink. You can render using all three cards if your computer can handle the heat and power draw, or you could render different frames with all three of them at the same time if you use placeholders so they don't just render over top of each other. IIRC 3090 and 3090ti are the only cards in that series to get nvlink.

[@rickflorida3838]

Goddamn I use my 9 year old mac. Just to render a single image could take me around at 600 res about 8 minutes. This seems like magic to me

[@SirLithen]

These numbers feel kind of pointless when we can't compare them to anything. The rest of the rig and the general state/health of your system can impact that quite a lot too from my experience.
