    I think that the most important thing is that you have mox vRAM. Speed you can live with. Crashing, not so much.

    ...I'll stick with the single slot RTX Pro 4000 that has 24 GB of GDDR7 and a TDP of 140w (which is 20 w less than my old 1 GB GTX 460 drew).

    Can I ask what is the price of a RTX Pro 4000?

    I wonder IF they might ship to another nearby state?

    Don't know don't care as that does me no good

    Not the first time I've run into this and, this is the second time this week. I wanted some novelty collector coins on another site went to check out and guess what 49 states listed as well as overseas locations but no Texas

    I just got as 5060 series card. Its behaved beautifully so far.  I just run both the 4.24 and the new alpha.  A lot of people are complaining about lag but I have zero lag in the iray viewport, and its been fabulous to be able to make changes on the fly.

    i am glad it is working for you. Does it have 8gb or 16gb of memory?

    Sounds like a better  bet than the RTX 3090. I wish I could have gotten it instead my power hungry RTX 3090. 

  • kyoto kidkyoto kid Posts: 42,031

    ...if you are not into gaming it works pretty well for it has a lower core count than the 3090 but a slightly better pixel and texture rate as well as compute rate and boost/memory clock rate.

    Oh wait. It appears that the RTX PRO 4000 does not support the version of iRay used in the current DS 4. So maybe I'm better off with my RTX 3090 afterall even though it is power hungry.

    ...that is true but for those looking at going beyond 4.24 I feel it is a very viable option, particularly with expected cost increases for the GTX 50xx series due to Nvidia scaling back production of Consumer GPUs.

    Not sure if the lower production number will also affect prices for GTX 30xx and 40xx cards.

    For rendering with the older Iray version it would then be best just to stay with the GTX 3090 for higher VRAM and core count and deal with the high TDP as the Ada generation RTX 4000 takes a fair hit in core count VRAM (20GB) and performance.

    To get 24 GB in a pro version card that would be compatible with Daz 4.24 and come as close in specs to the 3090 would be the RTX A5000 with a TDP of 230 w instead of 350 (and is a dual instead of triple slot card). The downside is older pro grade (Quadro) cards tend to hold their value so the price for a "new" (not used or refurbished) RTX A5000 (same generation as the 3090) is around 2,300 - 2,900 USD.
