The benchmark on the product website, reproduced above, suggests that you’d need to be using at least three GPUs to see that kind of speed boost, but that performance scaling is relatively close to linear.
In addition, Maxwell GPU, the CUDA-based GPU render engine introduced Maxwell 4.0, now supports multiple GPUs, for a “more than 50x speed-up compared with a high-end CPU”. The video at the top of the story shows the GPU version of Fire being used to preview a scene with over 3 million triangles, although there’s no information about which graphics card is being used. Performance is a key focus of the update, with speed increases in both preview and final-quality rendering.įire, the software’s interactive render preview, is “now faster and optimized to update instantly”. The release is the first significant update to Maxwell in some time: Maxwell 4.0 came out in 2016, and the last bugfix update was over 18 months ago.Ī performance-focused update, for both preview and final-quality rendering The release also updates the user interface to display better on modern Hi-DPI displays. Next Limit has released Maxwell 5.0, the next major update to its physically based spectral renderer, adding multi-GPU support, integrated cloud rendering, and a V-Ray scene importer. Scroll down for details of the 5.2 update.
