Hi all For one of my customers I’m building a workstation which will be used for SketchUp rendering together with V-Ray. We’re already clear on most of the components, but still a bit unsure about the graphics card. My first proposal was a GTX 970 but I know that most professional workstations are…

I have not actually used Nvidia cards but they seem to be as reliable as AMD as far as I can tell. From time to time issues pop up from both companies. As far as i can tell SketchUp does not use workstation type cards and openCL but I am far from expert on this. I am kind of leaning toward Nvidia …

Thanks for the replies, guys. Installing a Quadro would mean an extra cost of €2-300 for a “mid-level” card. It will be used in a professional environment so I would like to install the best choice when it comes to performance and reliability, while not breaking the bank. If a GeForce is sufficient…

I’m posting this admittedly subjective response because I have experience with both nVidia’s Quadro series and GeForce display adapters. I still use each computer and have noted the comparative differences in performance between the two. The Quadro 3000M is in a Dell Precision M6600 mobile worksta…

Hi JVLE, thanks for the feedback. Are you sure this is not a storage related problem? I would guess that it’s the hard drive catching up. Lower end notebooks in general have 5400RPM hard drives, while the more expensive have SSDs or Hybrid disks. What’s your experience with the rendering times on b…

I guess that’s possible, but I’m inclined to think otherwise because, despite not being equipped with SSD’s or hybrid drives, each has a similar Seagate drive operating at 5400rpm. Both systems have a high storage capacity drive of 1Tb also. Additionally, I use many external hard drives intercha…

[image] vms: What’s your experience with the rendering times on both graphic adapters (if applicable in your case)? I can only comment on the rendering capability of the Quadro card at this time because the Inspiron system has not yet been used to perform any of my professional renders. I w…

[image] AMD and Open GL / Graphics Card Recommendations? SketchUp The role of the graphics card in SketchUp is often overrated. It can very well do with a cheap card, provided its driver has the required OpenGL support. Roughly speaking, the graphics card is used for rast…

The game becomes a bit different if you use one of the new GPU renderers (like Octane) to render, but Vray only uses the CPU to render, so in this case OpenGL is mainly used when setting up the views to be rendered, or SketchUp modelling. GPU renderers benefit of a graphics card with many GPU cores…
