New Nvidia generation for rendering
Redshift on new M4's?
Videos
Hi!
Just like everyone else I’m curious to see what kind of performance boost the new gen Nvidia cards will provide for rendering. The only benchmark so far is gaming, showing an almost 2x boost in fps in Cyberpunk at 4K (which is insane). But my concern is if that boost is mainly driven by the DLSS 4 tech using ai for higher frame rate.
Basicallt I’m wondering if anyone has done any deep dive in the specs or has any early hands on experience with these cards and know if the boost for rendering will be as massive as for gaming.
Long story short, at job we render on M1 Max 64GB MBP. It's slow and unsustainable for final rendering sequences and the turnaround time we need.
I've been pushing them to look into getting a Windows build with RTX4090's if they want to see a real, tangible difference in render times and get the most out of Redshift, since it's Cuda based and Apple Silicon isn't.
They were open to pricing one out until the new M4's were announced. Now higher ups just want to go with the new M4's because "Mac is what we've always used".
If we get them, we're stuck with them for a while.
Will the M4 be comparable to a typical Windows+NVIDIA RTX build for Redshift when rendering out final image sequences?
The M1 Max's have been awful in terms final frame render time, and ends up taking way too long to render sequences for the turnaround time we need in order to work efficiently.
I'm resistant to continue in the Mac ecosystem for rendering out of Redshift. Apple Silicon is great for AE, Editing, and Photoshop, but GPU rendering is it's kryptonite.
Will the M4's be trash compared to a proper Windows build? Or will they be better? If they are at least equivalent to a proper windows build, great. If not, seems like a waste of money/time.
