Maya: CPU vs GPU Render Speed Tests [Arnold]

In today's video, we're diving deep into the world of 3D rendering with Maya 2024, utilizing the powerful Arnold renderer. Understanding how different hardware configurations impact your workflow is crucial. I'm putting an old computer head-to-head against a brand-new, state-of-the-art system to see just how much of a difference your machine can make in rendering times. Plus, we're exploring the age-old debate of GPU versus CPU rendering speeds - all within the latest version of Maya and Arnold.

Whether you're working on complex scenes for film, animation, or visual effects, the speed at which you can render your projects significantly impacts your creative process. By the end of this video, you'll have a clearer understanding of how different hardware configurations affect rendering times in Maya 2024 using Arnold, helping you make informed decisions about your setup.

Congrats on your new computer! Less time to explore more!

[vinodefx]

every animator have a happy movement when comparing old computer n new its satisfaction

[thedxrrkside]

Holy smokes, I remember watching your tutorials like 7 years ago, it's been a while, how are you?😃

[bvladimirpl]

Huge saving time! Now more time to research or experiment new things. Congrats my teacher! 😊

[hassanpainterd]

I loved your experience and it helped me test what I wanted . Thank you

[Austin_Torres]

Thanks For sharing the information very helpful.

i write this down, because im still using core i3 9100f to render in maya, set the goal and see how long it will take to upgrade my PC in the future. very infomative video

I have a problem when rendering using GPU. It doesn't render out any texture and it replace all mesh with white basic material like lambert or aiStandardSurface. Do you know the reason why? All my materials is aiToon.

[Alicecocoz]

Grats on the new system! Clueless how it took you this long to upgrade 😉

[zandi]

Great video thank you, please can u make a video like that compare Bifrost simulation between old and new computers.

I remember being just as ecstatic a couple of years back when I upgraded my i5 4960, nvidia gtx 960, 32 Gb ddr3 to a Ryzen 9 5950x, Nvidia
RTX 3080, 64Gb ddr 4

To speed up the opening even more, I would disable most of the plugins, that you don't use. You can easily make a marking menu to load the plugins on demand, if you need it for your current session, but there is no real point to loading all of it, on each start. I have my marking menu assigned to the hotbox south region. :)

Please make a lesson on rendering passes and composition

[FunnyGamerAkash]

mam how to small like 200 frame animation render fast hd1080

[nelsond]

Did you prepopulate the GPU before testing?

[twal]

That's definitely a top of the line rig. And the rtx4090 alone probably cost as much as the rest of the components on it.

[totoosarts]

Very happy for you :) hope the new PC will last long and help you develop a lot of cool stuff :) good job and stay beautiful :)

[JohnSlaughterND]

Wow, the difference between the 1060 and the 4090 is HUGE. I wish more Bifrost Graph simulations would use the GPU, but someday...
