The rendering performance of NVIDIA’s top GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card has been compared against AMD’s Threadripper 3990X CPU.
NVIDIA claims that the GeForce RTX 3090 saves an hour of rendering time when compared to AMD’s Threadripper 3990X 64-Core CPU.
While the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X is a content production powerhouse, a CPU will never be able to render a scene as well as a GPU, especially when using drivers and programs that have been tuned for RTX technology. NVIDIA created this comparison to demonstrate that GPUs are still the way to go for rendering workloads, and there is no doubt that a card like the GeForce RTX 3090 is a beast in such applications. That being said, a GeForce RTX 3090 coupled with an AMD Ryzen Threadripper CPU is a content creator’s dream configuration.
NVIDIA’s April Studio Driver package includes enhancements for several popular 3D programs, including Unreal Engine 5, Cinema 4D, and Chaos Vantage. The updated driver is said to enable Blender and Redshift’s new NVIDIA Omniverse interfaces.
NVIDIA compared their GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card against the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X, a 64-core CPU based on the Zen 2 core architecture, to demonstrate the rendering performance boost. Maxon’s Cinema 4D version S26, according to NVIDIA, offers all-new fabric and rope dynamics that are accelerated by NVIDIA RTX GPUs. The GeForce RTX 3090 took a little over 7 minutes to render the ‘City’ scene, but the Ryzen Threadripper took over an hour (65 minutes to be precise).
Epic Games and NVIDIA cooperated to integrate several critical RTX technology into Unreal Engine 5. The Unreal Engine Marketplace also has these plugins available. Iterating on and refining new ideas is easier and faster with RTX-accelerated ray tracing and NVIDIA DLSS in the viewport. The same technologies fuel gorgeous ray-traced images in the end output, while AI allows for faster frame rates.
PC games running on RTX GPUs have impossibly low latency thanks to NVIDIA Reflex, a native feature in UE5 that does not require a separate plugin or download.
NVIDIA real-time denoisers improve the efficiency of art pipelines by providing real-time performance. In the Unreal Editor viewport, RTX global illumination creates realistic bounce lighting in real-time, offering artists immediate feedback. In terms of processing,
In V-Ray, the raw performance of the new GeForce RTX 3080 and 3090 cards is incredible! Let’s take a look at each card individually:
For the same price, NVIDIA’s RTX 3080 is faster than any RTX 20 Series card and more than twice as fast as the RTX 2080 Super. That boost in rendering performance, along with a 25% increase in VRAM over the 2080 Super, makes it a superb bargain.
The RTX 3090 from NVIDIA is twice as fast as the RTX Titan, which was the last generation’s best consumer video card, but costs $1000 less and has the same amount of VRAM. Furthermore, the RTX Titan was only available from NVIDIA with their dual-fan cooling system, preventing it from being used in multi-GPU setups.
