I'm new on 3ds max and vray / vray rt rendering. Right now I have an old PC with geforce 9500 gt. I'm planning to buy new PC that can render fast but at the same time it have to be budget. I did many searches on GPU rendering on Vray RT and found real time rendering using muti-GPU's like 4x GTX 690 (but for me that is crazy to spend thousands of dollars just for rendering very fast) . AMD processors and GPUs are cheap and you can use even the APU to run a game like Battlefield with over 30 fps on 1080 HD resolution (for me it is perfect). the question is : Does Vray RT support AMD Radeon GPUs like R7 , R9 , 7870 , 7950 .... ? If not then I'm going to choose cheap Nvidia card like GTX 750 ti, but how is the performance of this card with Vray RT rendering?

Unfortunately, according to Vray, AMD's implementation of OpenCL isn't advanced enough for vray. Also there is a reason that 4 690's are used for real time rendering, it's because the power is needed. I'd go for at least a 780ti.

Is there any 3D software or renderer that support AMD graphic cards?

Is there any motherboard or workstation that support AMD Opteron 6300 series and AMD Firepro W9100 graphic card together? I have seen a video on working with amd professional cards in Vray RT : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Njsv4r3tAx0

Hi there

I would say AMD Firepro W9100 would perform well in OpenCL specific application like is VRAY RT or Luxrender

Second option is go with R290X,those cards seems are great in V-RAY or in OpenCL apps,really depends on yours budget and about the yours chosen CPU hard to say,are you want to use this CPU or you want to buy?

Thanks,Jura

Hi there

AMD CPU are not best in rendering situations,maybe newer CPU have better results,but what I've seen and tested,best has been i7,you still can get cheap i7-920 and overclock this CPU to the 4GHz without the problem

How fast you want to render big scene,what are you planning to render?

Yes new V-RAY 3.0 supports R series and some 78XX series,I've seen few guys modded their drivers to Firepro series and seems this should work

I've run few months ago GTX560Ti which has been pretty poor in Luxrender and in V-RAY,I've tried with Octane Render and has been pretty slow and would say useless if you are looking for fast and quick renders

Really depends on yours target and what are you planning

I would suggest you sign up on the V-RAY forum

Thanks,Jura

I need to render car engine and parts for engineering studies. But I also want to use animation. I tried Blender first and 3ds max but both took more than one hour to render just one frame how about a video of 4 minutes or 16 minute. I found that GPU render is away faster but my 9500 gt is not supported in Blender and it is very slow in Vray also.
About my budget, I have no budget right now but as a home user and student I couldn't buy a 4000 or 7000$ PC but I can afford normal price like 600 to 1100$ PC which is normal. I want to know what to choose the right hardware that can perform fast at low cost.
There are many render engines that can be powerful and light at the same time like Keyshot and Fluidray RT . These render engines can work fast even with amd cpus and even with quad core like A10 7850K.

Hi there

Did you tried Blender with Cycles ? If yes then Cycles working quite well with CUDA GPU,but seen few guys starting using AMD cards for Cycles,have look on this thread

http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?302079-B...

http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?323594-C...

Yours current GPU is not the fastest GPU and this is yours main issue in the rendering SW/engines

Best card which are supported are by V-RAY/Blender Cycles are nVidia cards sadly,those cards have better support and are better in this environment,but AMD staring to catch up in V-RAY RT or in Blender Cycles

As I've told you,you can go route of the cheaper AMD HD7870 and mod the drivers to the Firepro series

http://www.overclock.net/t/1403233/amd-firepro-modded-d...

At yours $600-$1000 budget I'm pretty sure you can build suitable PC which will perform in nice speed in most of the renderers

I didn't use on my PC AMD CPU for quite while,I'm still using mostly Intel CPU and don't have too much experience with those CPU in the rendering situations


My suggested PC would look probably like this there

MB: Asus P6T

CPU: Intel i7 920 D0 overclock'd to 4.0GHZ(I've seen few suitable like is AMD FX-9590,but for this price you can have easily i7-3820k and many others )

CPU Cooler: This depends on more factors,but Thermalright HR-02 Macho Rev.A (BW) get my vote

RAM: 16GB RAM as minimum I would go

GPU: HD 7870 or GTX760Ti(maybe GTX750ti),but I would take GPU with at least 2GB

HDD: if its budget then SSD at least 240/256GB I would suggest,Crucial MX100 256GB is good SSD for good price

PSU: 750W(I would go route of the Power&Cooling Silencer MK III )

Worth to check at least if you are in US Craigslist,there you can find good bits and parts for PC for very good prices

Hope this helps

If you are need more help please let me know

Thanks,Jura
