I don't think it has enough fans!
I'm considering adding a 2nd 1080 card. What exactly is the performance boost like going from 1 1080 to 2?
I'm now considering getting one with a new desktop PC. I'm starting to grow tired of my laptop, but it at least gives me something to work for.
Everyone I'm sure knows this but the problem has apparently been resolved. I'm late to the party, just buying 2 GTX 1080s in the last week. My render time on a test scene went from 54min on my old system with (2) GTS-450s to 2.5min on my new system.
Is the new GTX 1080 Ti also fully supported by Daz Studio?
It makes no difference to Daz; the exact card is transparent as it uses the same drivers as the rest of the pre-existing 10 series cards. (Or it shouldn't.
)
Thanks! :)
So rub it in, why don't ya!!
Consider it well-rubbed.
The only real issue, is that pretty soon, 2.5 minutes is going to seem like ages.
So is GeForce GTX 1080 (Pascal type) supported at this point in time? Sorry if it's repetitive, there's 27 pages of discussion here and I can't be flipping through every one to get the answer :P
Yes, they will be, with latest 64-bit release of Daz Studio and recent-ish video drivers.
Sorry I'm not quite clear about this - they 'will' be, meaning it's currently not supported yet?
Pascal cards are supported.
Just what I needed, thanks!
Interesting, I thought it all depends on the CUDA core numbers, a GTX 1080 has 2560 while 2x GTX 980 would have 4000+, I thought the latter combination would be faster. If it isn't all about CUDAs then would you reckon that a GTX 1080 Ti be faster than two GTX 1080 cards?
It's not just the number of cores, but the architecture of the cores. The latest Pascal cards have a more efficient design, apparently. A 1000 Maxwell coresare said to not be as fast as 1000 Pascal cores.
There is also some empirical evidence that suggests two cards with 1000 cores each is not the same as one card with 2000 cores, assuming the same architecture. If true, I think this may have to do with extra overhead in managing the two cards. While I have two cards in my machine, they are so pitiful in the core department I actually don't use one of them for rendering anymore. It's just for the display. But when I did use it, the speed increase was marginal for the percentage of added cores: it provided a third more cores, but the speed was not improved by that amount.
I'd love to get in on the 1080ti business, but I'm going to make do with my 780tis for at least a couple of years. Good thing I don't need the RAM with my projects.
Friends, does the GTX 1080 Ti support IRAY technology?
I bought this video card, but it does not render. Any ideas?
Yes, Pascal cards are supported and I'm pretty sure we've had at least ne person post benchmarks. Make sure you are using Daz Studio 4.9.3.166, and that your driver is reasonably current (372.x or later as I recall).
I just installed a GTX1080Ti Founders Edition into my system. With the latest official drivers, it is supported and runs without a glitch. I was reading this discussion before I bought the card, and thought I should update it here in case anyone wants to buy the same.
I just put a GTX1080TIi in the wifes machine and its not much faster with her scenes than the old 660ti. But it does run. I think I need to figure out the optimum settings for the 1080ti. Any suggestions.
Here computer is a AMD 8 core running at 3960ghz with 16gb ram GTX1080Ti 11gb ddr5 and Win7 Pro x64

Before I click the checkout button. Is this fully supported, or not?
EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB

It dont say Nvidia thats why I was wondering.
Right now I have a GTX 1070 installed on my machine. Is it even worth it to upgrade? Percent wise, what kind of boost would you expect?
This card is an Nvidia card & so it is supported
I can't tell you if its worth the upgrade to you as it depends on many things - You could check the benchmark thread to see what others are getting

1080TI has a lot more Cuda Cores & 3GB extra memory & depending on your PC you may be able to have both cards installed
Thank you. I went ahead and got it. I'm not seeing any benchmarks for my card. I guess I will be the one adding the first 1080 Ti 11G bench lol...
On the topic of having both cards installed. Let me give you the rundown of my specs. Cause that would be kinda cool but I always thought it had to be identical RAM
i7-5820k 6-Core Proccessor.
32GB DDR4 RAM
Asus MBAS-X99-A Motherboard.
1TB SSD / 4TB HDD 7200 RPM
850 Watt PSU
Win10 64-Bit
Currently GTX 1070 8GB. Will be 1080 Ti 11GB in a few days.
For Iray, the Vram / cards do not need to be the same - Nvidia state not to use SLI for rendering so it won't matter for doing this type of work
I think but am not sure that cards only need to be identical to run in SLI for gaming but as I only have 1 card & don't game, its not something I have thought about.
850W is probably enough to run both cards but there are people that post here daily that know a lot about building PC's & would know better about power supply & the type of cooling required to run 2 cards without killing the PC so maybe one of them will chime in with a definate answer :)
I'm pretty sure that to run in SLI mode both cards have to be the same. DS doesn't recognize SLI so can't be used for DS purposes. Instead turn off SLI and it will recognize both cards and utilize both.
Thank you. I use computers. I'm not great with Specs and what not. I figure 850 Watt, not because I wanted two cards. It's just that from what I understand its better to be over, then under powered.
If I can use both cards for iray that would be awesome. I love my 1070. Dont get me wrong. It's a great card. I have no issues with it at all. One of the best cards I've ever owned, really. But I still wanna cut my render times... If I can cut them to 4 minutes instead of 20. That would be great. Most of my renders are 1200 x 1500 and cook in about 25 mins. Not bad times. But I hate having my card maxed out like that for long periods of times. The less time it spends rendering, the longer life span I will have. Does that make sense? I'm not expecting a 2-4 minute renders... Not for at least another 3-5 years of Technoligical improvements. But if I can keep the render times in the single digits thats my end goal.
I already know I'm going to get quoted by someone and their going to tell me they get 1-3 minutes renders... I know its possible... But...
Not with some of the scenes I make. Some of them can take a good while to cook. Especially indoor scenes make me wanna pull my hair out. hehe
These are all made in iray their about 5x as large as presented here. 2-4 minutes wasnt going to happen... lol
A little bit. But IMO the life span of these cards isn't going to be influenced to a degree that you would ever notice. I've never had any video card burn out due to excessive usage, besides it's not like you're rendering 24/7. Heavy gamers are probably going to task these cards way more and still I've never heard of lifespan being an issue. That's not even mentioning that in a few years you're probably gonna want to stick in the new fancy 1280 Ti with 36GB memory, twice the speed plus integrated AI that tells you funny jokes and uses the air of your laughter to help power the card.
Select PCU and GPU. It will or should in theory cut back some on your GPU. You can put in numerous different cards and Iray will use them. I'm not sure if they all have to be 4GB or more though to be used though.
