Key Considerations
- VRAM determines the maximum scene complexity. Complex architectural or VFX scenes with millions of polygons and high-resolution textures can easily exceed 24 GB. The RTX 6000 Ada (48 GB) or L40S (48 GB) handles most professional scenes.
- For Blender Cycles and OctaneRender, CUDA cores and RT cores are both utilised. NVIDIA Ada Lovelace GPUs (RTX 6000 Ada, L40S) offer 2-3x faster rendering than previous generation Ampere GPUs.
- ISV-certified drivers (from the RTX 6000 Ada or RTX A-series) are essential for applications like SolidWorks, CATIA, and Siemens NX. Consumer GPU drivers may cause display or stability issues with these applications.
- For render farms, the L40S offers the best throughput per rupee. Its dual-slot form factor allows 8 GPUs in a 4U server, creating a dense rendering node at lower cost than RTX 6000 Ada equivalents.
- Consider NVLink for real-time viewport rendering of massive scenes in Unreal Engine or Omniverse, where VRAM pooling across 2 GPUs doubles available memory.
What NOT to buy
Avoid AMD GPUs for GPU rendering unless your render engine explicitly supports them. Most production render engines (V-Ray, OctaneRender, Redshift) are CUDA-only. Also avoid GPUs without RT cores if you use hardware-accelerated ray tracing.
