    turn on RTX support was stated ..is this an automatic thing or is there a setting in DS to do this? or is it via the GPU card?

    Iray in DS 4.12 will use the RTX cores if they are available, subject to having a supported driver version of course.

    One should probably not bother with the RTX 2070 and RTX 2080. The 2070 Super and 2080 Super have better specs, more CUDA cores and lower prices. Do be aware that most of the three fan versions are ~12.9 inches long. Even with a full tower case, they may not fit.

    The clock rates and power requirements are less than a 980TI and the 2080 Super has more cuda cores.

    not sure how this fits in with DS ...

    this is from Techrada review

    Nvidia RTX 2070 Super vs RTX 2070: specs

    The Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super is based on Nvidia’s TU104 GPU. It features 2,560 CUDA cores, a base clock of 1605MHz, a boost clock of 1770MHz, 184 texture units and a max L1 cache size of 2560KB.

    By comparison, the RTX 2070 has 2304 CUDA cores, a base clock of 1410 MHz, a boost of 1,620 MHz, 144 texture units and 2,304 cache.

    The RTX 2070 Super also beats the standard RTX 2070 when it comes to texel fill-rate with 325.7 Gigatexels/sec vs 233.3.

    It's automatic if it's an RTX card.

    I am interested in making the leap from 980ti to 2080ti.  Do you have updated benches with the new RTX support in 4.12?

    The speed-up is substantial (objective term), and as a user of a 980ti, all benchmarks i've seen make the difference noticeable. You thoughts on if the percentage is worth it is down to you.

    I'll perhaps upgrade eventually, but I'd just rather go to a renderer that supports AMD and Nvidia - and alternatives if they appear.

    I've been looking at some specs today of the new generations of Nvidia cards, and while comparisons seem to show the 2070 and 2080 have substantial advantages over the 980ti (which is what I have), they have a similar number of CUDA cores. For rendering in Studio, are there any noticable advantages of either of these cards over the 980ti?

    I know the 2080ti is a massive improvement in CUDA and speed, but I can't afford that.   ;)

    Thanks in advance for any information.

    Yes we do.

     

    PS: If you find the linked information above in any way useful, pretty please, please consider running the benchmark on your own GPUs (ideally on each one separately) no mattter how "old" or "underpowered" and appending your resutls to the thread. The more samples/cards tested we have, the more complete/accurate the information gets. smiley
