magneto Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Which GFX card is preferrable for max performance inside Houdini, whether it's pyro, smoke, flip or just pure opencl processing? I read 1080ti has much higher clock speed but also read their tech is very different so not sure what to think. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tar Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Vega 64 looks slightly better performance wise, is cheaper but has 3GB less Ram. I have a 1080ti that we can run tests on if you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malexander Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 You'll be able to get a better picture on August 14th, when the cards are released. Drivers play such a crucial role these days that hardware numbers' analysis isn't very accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tar Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Fwiw AMD has just opened a place in Hollywood that is meant to cater to DCC users, not totally sure how it's meant to work though: https://pro.radeon.com/en-us/introducing-amd-studios/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magneto Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 What about this? https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2016/7/26/12285568/amd-radeon-pro-ssg-graphics-card-ssd Can this be used to finally be able to do very large sims on the GPU without running out of memory? Or is it gonna be like swapping to disk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
