Blender 2.82's NVIDIA OptiX Support Is Performing Very Well

[scottc]

I'm new to Blender, but I found that on my fairly modest system (9700K + RTX2070) it was still faster to use CUDA with CPU+GPU instead of Optix.

Is that an expected result? Does that mean Optix rendering is really only for folks with multiple high-end GPUs in their system? (which is probably not uncommon in the rendering business, I guess)

No, it doesn't. The initial 2.81 build slowed AMD GPUs by a whopping 50% and was partially fixed because people complained. Developers said they wouldn't waste their time fixing that any further.

It is honestly discouraging seeing how the Blender development team doesn't have the patience with OpenCL that we have with their constant fuck ups.

Why didn't you test the barbershop scene?

Ahh, right...
