NVIDIA's latest Studio RTX driver is said to provide Blender users with a huge boost.
The Blender Cycles renderer will now work four times faster compared to using a CPU alone. Cycles uses NVIDIA's OptiX ray-tracing renderer to generate realistic effects like subsurface scattering and motion blur.
OptiX used CUDA technology up in the past, but with the RTX cards, users can now witness a significant boost. "With NVIDIA RTX, core ray-tracing operations are now hardware accelerated by the GPU, making this the fastest version of Cycles yet," noted Blender's lead architect, Brecht Van Lommel.
