Best comparison seen so far - very good work (!) Would really be interesting to know why the 3090 was almost 5x quicker - really strange!

[@KingTrader30]

might be because 3090 has more VRAM, the other 3 only have 8GBs VRAM they performed almost the same on complex scene like in blender , maybe it exceeded 8GBs VRAM

[@kingghidorah8106]

​@@KingTrader30 no, VRAM only limits the amount of objects in the scenes as well as the texture resolution. The 3090 and 3080 II 12Gb both have 1020gb/s bandwidth while the rest are at around 400gb/s. That's why the 3090 is much faster. The same thing happens when you compare a 4060ti 16gb vs a 2080ti, 2080ti has 680gb/s bandwidth and 4060ti 16 only has 299gb/s.

[@MediamanStudioServices]

As I tell all my viewers that ask Laptop questions. Why a laptop as it will always be slower for a higher cost. Do you know what kind of a powerful Desktop system you could purchase for the price of that laptop set up. Desktops are faster and upgradeable. But for your question of long lasting, I do not know as what is long lasting. 10 years. then the answer is no. Next year will be a great year for computer tech and upgrades to performance per dollar. So first if you are looking for long term, don't get a laptop. as they will be obsolete faster than a desktop as you can not upgrade any components. Thanks for watching and good luck on your purchase.

@@MediamanStudioServices Hi and thank you for replying. I will take a look👍

[@noxagonal]

I do enjoy these comparisons a lot. Unfortunately you're rendering with your CPU in Blender for RTX3080 and RTX3070. You can tell by how the "Device" option is grayed out and CPU is used as fallback. Another way to tell is that each render block uses one thread of the CPU, if multiple blocks are being rendered at once it means that each block uses one CPU thread, GPU renders one block at a time. Probably wrong render device in settings. If anyone is curious (assuming sample count is 128 and nothing else was modified in the video) RTX2070 Super can render this scene in 1 minute and 8 seconds using Cuda, it'll be down to 47 seconds using Optix. Using Blender 3.0 (Cycles X) and Optix, render time goes down all the way to 26 seconds. I'd like to see your 4 x RTX3090 setup speed using Blender 3.0 and Optix device. :)

Would increased RAM capacity improve render times? I've got a gaming rig with 16gb. I know more than that doesn't help games but I am curious how much it affects software like Maya.

[@mikebrown9826]

Think of vRAM as a container. Once full it needs to transfer to system ram and that is slow. But if your scenes do not fill the container. Then you will have no issues. So does more vRAM speed up Maya. Only is you need the extra memory.

we as I talked about in the video, cuda cores is only about 15% higher that the RTX3080 and the bus speed is only 12% higher. so it is still a mystery.

[@guillermocosio7362]

I have two theories: 1: 3090 drivers may be bettef optimized as it supposed to be a more professional targeted card, in the past RTX where utperformed in professional settings by QUADRO and Titan Cards, by having optimized drivers and, I think, enabling Double precision point operations. 2. Blender likes GDDR6X VRAM... Lots of it...

[@glowyboi7175]

​@@guillermocosio7362 Its not 1 - the 3090 has the exact same drivers as other GeForce cards. Its almost certainly the VRAM - Redshift GPU renderer can improve speed by optimizing GI calculations, and gives you the option to do this in global controls. I haven't used Blender but I assume it has something similar.

[@klatchabobby]

One thing you got wrong with Blender is the denoising. You explained that the "Start Sample" would affect the render itself, but in actuality, the Start Sample setting only affects the viewport. Rendering an image will always apply the denoising after the tile has finished all of its samples no matter where you set the denoising to start because that setting, as I said, only affects the viewport. It's only there to get "cleaner" results faster in the viewport by telling it to start denoising earlier instead of waiting for it to do all of its viewport sampling first

hi Simon, I am not a Nvidia fanboy, but I have only used Nvidia GPU due to AMD lack of support in 3D rendering software.

Hi Akshaye, Thanks for watching. - processer - ( i9 i10 or zeon for Intel's stability) or (threadripper for performance) AMD CPU are just as stable at Intel in today's market and the performance is better. Intel have really fallen behind in the CPU market. if your thinking of a i9, look at the Ryzen 5900x. As for Quadro cards, every test i have done in the last few months, the RTX3000 cards are a better performance. Even the RTX8000 Quadro card cant beet the RTX3080 in any tests.

[@glowyboi7175]

@@akshayevaid. Quadros have never been designed for speed - they are deliberately clocked slower with less power draw for stability. The only apps I know of that actually need their drivers are Solidworks and Catia, there may be others. Intel does not have more "stability" than AMD... that is a myth.

I love your videos but the blender tests are wrong in the sense that the 3090 has only around 15% more cuda cores than 3080 and the vram capacity don't explain the massive difference between those 43 secs vs the 2+ minutes of the rest. And if the vram somehow is the factor, then we are not comparing the raw processing power anymore. I mean is obvious (or should be clearly stated) that for scenes that are using more than 8/10gb of vram the performance will drop. But since you used different settings to test the 3080 in the visor I assume there was a user fault too when setting the 3090 blender scene.

the RTX3090 will be the fastest, but also at the highest cost. May I ask why the Intel CPU? the AMD CPU are faster and sell at a lower cost? Not that I do not like Intel CPUs, it just AMD is offering better performance per dollar currently in the market. So I recommend the 5900x and the rtx3090. Save money on the CPU and spend it on the GPU. Every dollar counts.

[@avirtualdesigner6396]

@@MediamanStudioServices Thank you for your reply! So Option C would be the best, even if the CPU is Intel Core i7 instead of i9? (I render with GPU, but I don't know if this can also affects the rendering time). The problem is that in Europe is almost impossible to buy NVIDIA graphic cards at the moment, and the only way to get one seems to buy an already assembled computer from a big store (that's why those 3 options). Almost all of these PCs come with Intel CPUs

[@MediamanStudioServices]

@@avirtualdesigner6396 I see why the options. If you are doing GPU render, the CPU does not have to be the fastest or have the most cores as most of the rendering is done on the GPU. The CPU does have a job in the rendering cycle as well as the RAM, but you will see a very little percentage of time reduction between the i9 and the i7. Save the money on the CPU and spend on the GPU. and also Blender is a single threaded application when interacting with the software. It only uses more cores when doing CPU rendering. or maybe simulations. Good luck getting a GPU. wish you the best
