AMD has recently released the SDK for Radeon ProRender 2.0, the next update to the team's physically-based GPU renderer.

The latest version is now available under an open-source Apache 2.0 license, bringing improved performance when rendering on both CPU and GPU, and when rendering large scenes on the GPU. The team states that CPU+GPU renders are now up to 47% faster than rendering on the GPU alone.

The numbers are based on internal tests using the company’s current top-of-the-range processors: the Ryzen Threadripper 3990X CPU and the new Radeon Pro VII GPU. Unfortunately, the team hasn't shared any comparison details to see what has changed since the previous versions of Radeon ProRender.

Also, Radeon ProRender 2.0 now supports the new Infinity Fabric Link Bridge allowing users to pool GPU memory across two compatible AMD cards, so you can render larger scenes before going out of the core.
