Hi I have to disagree with your statement, at least a far as my own setups and experiences are concerned and from which I draw most of my conclusions. … SU itself relies mainly on the CPU and doesn’t need GeForce monster cards, they make sense for e.g. a quad-core CPU with 25% CPU utilization means one core running at 100%… Probably because SU is - as the vast majority of 3D modelers for modeling operations - single-threaded and therefore uses 1 kernel only, i.e. Still I was surprised by so many responses.
If you can list what CPU n gpu you using, then I think I can get more correct evidence on what I should get. I already done a lot of research, but nothing beats real evidence. I know Thea support gpu rendering very well, not sure about vray for sketchup! I’m thinking using GeForce Titan X to give me fast preview in vray for sketchup then render my scene fast use fastest i7. If GeForce is suitable for sketchup what GeForce gpu card r u using? My render will be at least 2 times faster (since I use a 4 core with 8 core hyper threading i7 cpu).Ĭan you list the CPU n gpus that you are using that really give fast save n viewport viewing n render result? I know if I get a fastest i7 with 8 core n hyper threading to 16 cores. Can I set it to achieve realistic render results ? Vray for sketchup real time render does allow gpu rendering, does anyone use it already and. So I don’t have to invest in quadro graphic cards, I will get a GeForce Titan X instead then or any cheaper but decent GeForce card, right?
