  • NVIDIA – The CUDA engine is supported only in 64-bit builds of V-Ray for Maxwell-, Pascal-, Turing-, Volta-, or Ampere-based NVIDIA cards. Rendering on multiple GPUs is also supported. See here if your card has the minimum required compute capability.
  • NVIDIA RTXChoosing RTX GPU mode works with RTX RTX cards.
  • Hybrid Rendering (running CUDA on GPU and CPU): Starting with V-Ray 3.6, V-Ray GPU CUDA rendering can be performed on CPUs and NVIDIA GPUs at the same time. Using the Select Devices for V-Ray GPU Rendering you can enable your CPUs as CUDA devices and allow the CUDA code to combine your CPUs and GPUs to utilize all available resources.

If V-Ray GPU cannot find a supported CUDA device on the system, it silently falls back to CPU code. If V-Ray GPU cannot find a supported RTX device on the system, the process stops.

To see if the V-Ray render server is really rendering on the GPU, check out its console output.

Тo use NVLINK on supported hardware, NVLINK devices must be set to TCC mode. This is recommended for Pascal, Volta and Turning-based Quadro models. For GeForce RTX cards, a SLI setup is sufficient. Also note that to prevent performance loss, not all data is shared between devices.

For more information, see the OptiX and NVLink FAQ page.
