The Best GPU for rendering with Blender. Using single and dual GPUs Part 1. RTX3070, 3080 and 3090.

#Nvidia #RTX #Blender
What is the best GPU for rendering with Blender. In this video I test single and dual RTX3070, 3080 and 3090 GPU for rendering scenes in Blender.
This is part 1 of a series of videos where I test gpu render in 3D software like Blender, Maya and 3D max with Redshift, Vray and Cycles.

When I discovered this channel my first thought was that Mr. Mediaman could be the brother that Roger Moore never had.. lol.. Jokes aside, this was really an extremely helpful video since I was asking myself if two RTX 3070's with a roughly price tag of $998 could beat one RTX3090 or not and voila, you just gave me the answer in this video.. Many many thanks! And yeah I am aware of it but I don't need the vram and my scenes are never that much complex.. and even if, I wouldn't mind.. But this way I could save 500 precious dollars.. Awesome! Even two RTX 3080's can still save you some 100 to 200 dollars which seems to be the safer option to avoid a failing CUDA test. But if you stick to OptiX then no issues with RTX 3070. Now I wonder.. what other double card options could be lurking out there that could deliver similar results with even a cheaper price tag? Because that's the whole point: Getting similar results with lower prices..

[@hardwire666too]

It would be interesting to see this revisited. Especially since the 40xx cards are out now, and as well Blender is now on 3.5. I feel in some cases pricing makes buying a seccond 3080 look far more apealing. Even more so if you have a 12GB version. While only the 3090 has NVLink I have found if you have enough system ram and really work on optimizations you can get buy pretty well with 12GB. As not only are the Blender benchmarks not representative of a real workload, but also are optimized to show the lowest possible time. Where the wild you're concerned about far more than just one single highly optimized frame.

Until prices come down to where they used to be, many of us are stuck with current GPUs. I built a new PC from the ground up with an AMD 5900X in August. It would have cost twice as much for just a 3070 than it did for my motherboard (Which has 2 pcie v4 16 channel slots), the CPU, 32 gigs of ram, new NVme drive, new case and fan, and new 2nd monitor. So I'm still running my 1660 super OC I was using in the previous computer. Here's hoping that when the Intel GPUs come out, it will drive prices down.

[@MographChamp]

[@clausbohm9807]

If you look closer at those charts you will see that Optics uses Vram and the cuda core version of cyclesX has not been flushed out yet. Also the system Ram may be rather slow so you need to speed it up and raid it. Lastly you can get away with Vram demands over the 3080 limits so must be using system memory. These charts are telling when things are not to expected scaling ...

Why not use bigger tile size for rendering? Such small tile sizes are better suited for CPU rendering (like 32 x 32 or 64 x 64). Render speed for GPU is much faster with size of 256 x 256 and with recent versions I even get best times even with 2k x 2k.

3070 has less VRAM, so that could hurt you on complicated renders. 3080 has either 10gb or 12gb. That can make a real difference.

Does it makes any sense to get a rtx 3060 ti on my oldie or should I go to banksters for a loan for full desktop upgrade?

very well done review and a solid presentation. As a 3D freelancer I have been keeping an eye out for the RTX- series since launch. The funny thing is that due to unavailability I switched back to a... 1080ti and it still works fantastic ^^. The only thing I am really missing out on is RTX but due to Unreal 5's real time lighting solution "Lumen" the desire for RTX cards for production has been lowered. ps. it might be an idea to research Edit Poly modeling performance in Blender and if/how the GPU impacts the performance. In Blender modeling performance is mainly CPU based so it would be interesting to see some combination with CPU/GPU.

[@MediamanStudioServices]

Hi Remon, you are still missing out on raw processing power of the new gen GPUs as well. Yes its crazy getting a GPU in today's market, but the production times savings could be worth it check out my video here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n53GeamEhNeDjck

Love your channel! I’m grabbing a new pc this month and am debating between a 5950x and a 3990x both setups with 2x rtx 3090s. I work primarily in C4D and unreal. I would love to see some render tests with these setups in octane! Keep up the great videos!

[@MediamanStudioServices]

hi TJ, good luck getting the new system, sounds like s anice set up.

[@nawafalrawachy394]

A 3990x is best for general 3D work and game development since it can compile shaders much faster due to core count. In addition to having more PCIe lanes. However if you work on animations primarily then 5950x is your best choice due to its much faster single thread performance which will allow for faster viewport playback so you can quickly re-iterate on your animations. While still having a good core count. Keep in mind that you only get 24 lanes with it so your GPU's will be running at 8x each which will degrade GPU performance by about 1% but that is still within margin of error. Best of luck with what you get.

[@nawafalrawachy394]

Also. Do not get the FTW3 3090's as they have faulty power. I had one die on me while being pushed to 100% for over 15 minutes. Best choice is the Asus ROG strix or the TUF. Then the MSI gaming x trio after. These are what I have experience with. Generally EVGA cards will break if I push them too hard. Same happened with an EVGA 2080ti a year ago.

Do the 3090 cards need to be the same brand/model? I have an EVGA FTW3 ultra and am thinking about adding an EVGA 3090 Ti , due to a good deal i found.

[@miladmasoumi6697]

Great channel thanks man . Sorry how did you link 3070s and 3080s they don't support nvlink or Sli . I want to link two 3070 ti but i don't know how . Can you guide me please ?!

[@gogolapeter]

Hello Milad, you don't need to use SLI or nvlink to get multiple GPUs to render together in Blender Cycles, Vray, Luxmark, or other GPU accelerated pathtracing renderer. Just plug them in, hope that the drivers pick up and enjoy more power 😉 It is best to have GPUs from the same generation, but not even that is a must. I used a GTX 780Ti with several GTX 1060s just fine 😉 Enjoy!

[@dimavirus9979]

is it worth taking a 4k monitor to 3080? for work, rendering

[@Midnightwalker01]

I love your ideas

[@aldireyhan5241]

Very good information, But, if i use 2 gpu, with motherboard that only have 16x pcie for the gpu, will the result be the same? Is it worth it to use 2 gpu in motherboard with only 16x pcie for the gpu?

[@JWS1968]

I tried to install the studio driver but got a message saying it was not compatible with my version of windows.

[@sitaroartworks]

Fast time rendering is very expensive nowadays. Real time operations like modeling and texturing are cheaper and perfectly manageable.

[@mikebrown9826]

Yes. I would agree as modeling does not use much GPU power. You can get by with a 3060 or even a 2060 for this type of work load

[@rigomortisfxstudios]

i am getting ready to buy a 2nd RTX 3080 by friday

[@aztralgamin]

I have 3070 MSI VENTUS 3X PLUS, in an ASUS B550 Tuf plus wifi, theres no way i run my gpu on pcie gen4 , 16x , 16 gt/s, i need to use 8x 16 gt/s, or pcie 3.0, 16x but only 8 gt/s, thats normal? And what configuration is better? Im crazy about that, worried im not using 100% of the gpu i paid for!!

[@douchymcdouche169]

You just saved me a crapload of money. Was going to buy a 3090 but it seems that 3080 is not that far behind in performance and costs half as much.

[@mikebrown9826]

Glad I could help

can i use a rtx 3060ti with a tesla pascal card in a workstation

[@aeonbreak4728]

Hey MAN which GPU would be the best complement to a 3090, with a good price/performance ratio? 3070ti? 3080?

[@jesusisrussian7059]

two 3070ti / 3070 cost / performance and also 3070 uses very low power (not ti). almost half than 3080 n 3090

[@AritraGhoshFilms]

Now due to increased price the quadro rtx costs 850 usd and 3060TI is 970 usd at my place...As a product designer and architect what will be better for me with i9 10850k processor. I don't play games. Only game engine i use is lumion for archviz..most of the time i use blender, rhino, fusion 360 and keyshot.

[@MediamanStudioServices]

What RTX Quadro you referring to, thet 5000? As the RTX5000 GPU is about the same performance as the RTX3060ti but you do get more Vram in the RTX5000. So if you can get the RTX5000 at 850USD, I would purchase that card for the rendering with the increased Vram. I have both GPU in my facility and they both work good. But the price and Vram is important as well.

[@AritraGhoshFilms]

@@MediamanStudioServices I am talking about quadro rtx 4000..

[@MediamanStudioServices]

@@AritraGhoshFilms oh, then I would go with the RTX3060ti

[@AritraGhoshFilms]

@@MediamanStudioServices thank you very much for this help..i was very confused about this.🙏🏽👍🏽

[@Adi-rb3vr]

Hey thanks, what do you think of a set up with 1x 3080 + 1x 3080ti with 5950x using a Asus ProArt Z690-Creator/Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero Motherboard? I know that blender will only render dual gpu as fast as my slowest GPU. Which means my performance would be like that of 2x 3080's when dual gpu rendering. But this way i could have the 3080 render in some instances and still keep working on something else using the 3080ti for rendered viewport viewing. Is this all possible with blender cycles-x? I also have 64gb of RAM. Thanks in advance

[@MediamanStudioServices]

hi Adi. This is a nice set up. But you can render as full speed on both GPUs. But the only limitation is the amount of Vram used will be limited to the smallest GPU for the RTX3080 has 10GB and the 3080ti has 12GB. so the most Vram you can use on a single card is 10GB. And yes, its is totally possible to use the GPU in the workflow you described. Just only check off one GPU in the Blender Prefs and then open a second Blender instance and keep working.

[@Adi-rb3vr]

@@MediamanStudioServices Thanks for the response! Would this also be feasible with a 3090? So i'd render on my 3090 in the background and keep working on a seperate blendfile using my 3080. So not rendering them together but using them seperately at the same time!

[@MediamanStudioServices]

@@Adi-rb3vr yes this workflow would work fine.

[@MMirelesMontano]

What MoBo???

[@ruslan_naguchev]

and the information that if render with 2 gpu's it need in twice more RAM is the "top 1"). I had many troubles with it. i did't understand why 2 gpu render closed with bug memory and with 1 gpu did not.

[@MediamanStudioServices]

hi RN Works, ya i was lucky to have more ram in hand to test this theory so this is how I found out as well, Then I did some reading on the Redshift forum and it was stated that the same scene needs to load twice into RAM to get processed before going to the GPUs. Thanks for watching

[@Midnightwalker01]

Sir cen i use 3050 multiple gpu for rendering in blender

[@FuzzyImages]

So do I NEED something like an EPYC for multi GPU's? If I were to have 2 4070"s would a 12 core CPU suffice, or is the 16 lanes thing quite literal and you need 16 cores per pcie slot?

[@MediamanStudioServices]

Cores and PCIe lanes do not matter in this case. But the ryzen and Intel desktop CPU have way less lanes than an TR or Epyc CPU, to directly connect GPUs. But on that note, you can still have dual GPUs in a desktop system and run them at 8x PCIe lanes. For 3D rendering, if you monitor the PCIe bandwidth and transfer during a render, you will notice that the Payload is delivered at the start of a render and only lasts for the time it takes to deliver the load to the GPU, Once the payload is in the GPU there is little to no PCIe bandwidth used. So for most Gen4 and gen 5 PCIe GPUs, this is not an issue. PCIe does have some limitations with the reduced bandwidth, but even at these speeds, most GPUs are only 12-24 Gigs of vRAM and how long does that take to move data between CPU, RAM and into the GPU.

[@FuzzyImages]

@@MediamanStudioServices are there any references or tools to help me know if I would be saturating the bandwidth of the lanes if running them as 8 instead of 16?

[@drengot1066]

hey man to get more views and build your profile or channel the best way to get loads of hits is to buy the Totally maxed out new Macbook pro laptop (because its a hot topic at the moment) and compare all the big 3d scene tests you have done so far expecially the Moana on it in comparison to a 5950x and RTX3090 system and then the same system with an added RTX3090 please (so 2x3090). I am asking this is because i don't know what system to go for i need a awsome pc for very complex scenes - architectural and environment scences. and im asking now becuse most 3d artist are now (im a student) don't know which machine to go for which one is better the new mac with their new silicon chip or the Pc build.

[@MediamanStudioServices]

Sorry Dom, but I am not a big Mac fan. I have had Mac Looptops for a long time, but the limited 3D support and GPU support ,makes Mac not a good choice for any 3D artist. Sure Blender may run on a New Mac, but what about then you want to start using a render like Octane or Redshift. then you are screwed. Stick to PC Laptops if you have to. But i don't recommend them as well. you need a desktop if you want to do complex scenes and work.

[@Jwalkz700]

how to use the tiling in blender

[@GdnationNY]

I am using a single 3060ti. What are your recs for mixing gpu? I have a 1080 and 1080ti and a 2070. Are there any combos that would work?

[@HackingFunDotCom]

I have a RTX 3070 and on the way a 3060 ti, so I will inform you (In theory that should work)

[@HackingFunDotCom]

I am here again!, The 3070 and the 3060 ti work well without any issue.

[@MediamanStudioServices]

great, the Vram is the only deciding factor for rendering.

[@hartjd]

im using a 2080ti , tho im considering a secondary 2080ti with a bump in system ram from 32 to 64

[@mikebrown9826]

If you can get the second gpu at a low cost, That would still be a good upgrade

[@avirtualdesigner7514]

Hello, which of these 3 computers do you think would render faster in Blender using GPU? Option A) Intel Core i9-11900K, 32 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 10GB Option B) Intel Core i9-11900F, 64 GB RAM, MSI Geforce RTX 3080 Ti Gaming X trio 12G Option C) Intel Core i7-11700K, 32 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 24GB

[@miguelcrespo5545]

The 3090 one for sure

[@CaptainScorpio24]

gpu does the whole rendering. 3090 one

[@MediamanStudioServices]

the RTX3090 as the host system has little to do with rendering the GPU scene. thanks for watching and please share on your FB to help grow the channel

[@dobbyads]

Hi - thanks for the great video. We are using a cloud server with 4 RTX 3080. How can we achieve maximum GPU utilization for rendering Blender files? TIA.

[@mikebrown9826]

I would set up Deadline and send single jobs to each GPU. You will get the full power from each GPU this way. When using multiple GPUs to render one job. There is always a little performance reduction with each GPU you add the the render pool. Deadline is free for less than 10 render nodes.

[@TruckMechaAddicted]

A poor gtx 970 for Blender and other software. But there's a thing I didn't understand, will two 3090 with nvlink share the vram? Will I have 48GB of vram or they will use indipendently?

[@MediamanStudioServices]

hi Laughing man, yes if you use th NvLink the Vram will be shared across both cards.

[@TruckMechaAddicted]

@@MediamanStudioServices So it'll give a great benefit to the rendering time Will the use of two rtx 3000 with chipset like x570/b550/z590 so with pcie 4.0 slot but splitted to x8/x8 instead of x16/x16 with workstation system affect the performance? What about using two different gpus? The software will use the same amount of vram that has the gpu with less vram, right?

[@MediamanStudioServices]

Laughing Man, check out my new video. I mentioned your question in the video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2jKe6mpoLyphqM

[@hakanerozkantattoo]

If we have no money for dual graphic cards, can u prefer one for solo ?

[@MediamanStudioServices]

what ever you can find on the market is a good GPU. I like the RTX3090 but I did not pay 2x the prices for the GPU. I got it when the prices were not that high. The new to be released 3070 with 16GB of Vram is also a good choice for a single GPU

[@abnersilverio]

RTX 3080 cannot be linked correct? It seems only the 3090 has this link capability, so how would a double 3080 be beneficial to use if hardware wise there is no link? Is there a way to link them with software?

[@MediamanStudioServices]

if this is for 3D rendering like Cycles, redshift or Octane, then these renders will use multi GPU in one system. You can render more than one frame at a time.

[@izaradesigncom]

I‘m using 4 rtx 2080ti and some pretty complex scenes, i‘m happy to provide one for you test. maybe you can even help me optimize the scene for rendering…
