Yes, they increase the performance in CPU. The cards I thought where only for GPU. When I rendered in production CPU it is crazy how fast the cards are on time. I have seen a render that took 8hrs with the quadro 4000 took 1.5 hrs on the k5000 with the same settings. I am putting the third k5000 card in today just got it in the mail. I will report back on performance. I would try it out in production CPU to see if you get the same results. If you get the the same results please let me know. I understand the cards are for GPU and Vray RT but the other day I wanted to see performance on the production Cpu side and was blown away on the performance and speed of the two k 5000 cards. We where having big issues with the quadro 4000 card and two k5000 cards it would not work right. I then pulled quadro 4000 out of machine per nvida and then I only had two k 5000 everyone Sade it would not work that you have to have primary card for view port. They where wrong, so I then started testing everything on RT GPU and production CPU I also tested profrmanece on Autocad architecture 2012 BIM model that was a very large architectural building and the performance in the view ports where unreal I have never seen anything like it. The cards due cost a lot of money but it is will worth it for our company's workflow...Everyone wants to talk about how much money they cost and you can buy cheaper cards that will perform better what ever keep thinking that!! Times are changing and technology is moving fast!!

If you render in production CPU with the k 5000 they are smoking fast on render. We had quadro 4000 and it has different architecture they will not work together per nvidia. We are putting three k5000 cards in machine. One for the view port and two for rendering in GPU but when rendering in production all three cards will be going towards CPU.

The new k5000 are smoking fast these have to be the fastest cards to date. I was having issues at first but it was all worth the frustration of the bugs!!!! The two k5000 cards cost a pretty penny but you get what you pay for!!! If you have the money it is well worth the investment. They are GPU based cards open CL witch is the new deal. What we did not know when you render in CPU production mode with passes they are smoking fast!!!! And in open CL active shader. I telling you these will be the new big thing in the CG market. They are a game changer.

I just bought boxx system and the customer support is some of the best support I have ever had!!!!! I bought some new video cards and we where having issues witch is to be expected being the cards just hit the US market. We have been trying work through the bugs and boxx has supported me all the way through the issues. We just figured out what was wrong with the cards and Let me tell you it was worth it because the video cards are the fastest best price cards on the market to date!!! It's crazy how fast these cards are. Normal render with high production settings about two hours. The new cards under 30 to 40 min in 2048 x 1556 cpu production mode with passes. I am running few more test tonight on time but is crazy how fast it's rendering. Boxx is a great company and I know they are a little high but you get what you pay for!!! You can email me and I can give my Skype name and we can talk further. Dougwjohnston@yahoo.com

So my question is what is the primary use for RT? Are guys just using this for cars, jewelry, smaller content or for adjusting lights and textures? We render large 20,000sf homes with a lot of content and RT is not working right. We were at the AU show and they had a large building that rendered out ok. The v-ray guys are trying to fix the issue. It's not our scenes I had them check the files. The computer they had at the AU conference is the same computer I have at our design studio. I will post the solution V-ray, nvidia and boxx comes up with or not.

theoretical performance numbers provided by NVIDIA, Quadro K5000 uses a fully enabled GK104 GPU clocked at around 700MHz core, and is paired with 4GB of VRAM operating at 5.4GHz. Meanwhile NVIDIA has the max power consumption of the card listed at an incredibly low 122W, I have two of these cards so that would mean 8Gb of VRAM with 1400 GPU core? What's your thoughts.

What is a good way to find out price point for modeling with lots of detail and v-ray renderings for interior work on luxury homes. I just want to make sure I am not under bidding the jobs. I know people charge different depending on what country your from. Here in the US what is the base pricing to produce high quality renderings of interior and model everything custom? I can never get a straight answer from anyone on this, if you don't want to post it on public form please email me in private. Dougwjohnston@yahoo.com It would be greatly appreciated!!!! Just trying to make it through the down turn and want to be smart about it. I don't want to be pricing it low because I didn't know what the industry standards are. I am not a freelancer I am a design build company for exterior on luxury projects and it has moved me into interiors for clients on 10,000 to 30,000sf residential homes. I have a project coming up right now that the client wants me to price out the interiors on a 20,000sf home and they want to model every room and rendered out. I don't want to under bid this project or over bid it. This is a project we just finished a design build on http://m.youtube.com/user/dougwjohnston?feature=guide I am just looking for help?

If you are going into v-ray RT are you planing on rendering in CPU or Gpu. For a GPU rendering card nvidia kepler 5000 it just hit the market place first of November this is suppose to be the newest bad boy as far as GPU rendering goes. The CPU side of render totally different kind of cards. I checked out the Kepler card at AU conference some pretty cool stuff.

Study, study lots of hours screwing around with sittings and getting to know the software. One thing that helps me in the lighting is v-ray RT active shader. I apply override gray material on scene and then start dropping lights in scene. My work flow for lights is primary lights, fill light and then accent lights. I turn off primary lights when they are adjusted the way I want them. I then move on to the fill light and so on. I agree photoshop is where half the magic happens. You need to study architectural magazines and interior magazines. I am a firm believer in this. All of the content you model in your scene makes a difference on tricking the human eye. It's all about the details. Making it look like somebody just got up from a table to have a cup of coffee. I also believe in the study of color theory and light. How light works in the world reflections and refraction plays a big part in making your textures good. Take care and happy rendering!!!!!

I use all v-ray materials and supported list of v-ray materials for RT. I have read what is not suppoted by V-ray RT. The kelper 5000 cards are the biggest GPU Cards on the market todate as far as memory. nvidia just released cards three weeks ago in the states. This is what they where using at AU Show in Vegas last week on the machines. They cant tell me why I am having problems? V-ray is going to send me over the nightly builds to see if that fixs problem. I have the right drivers installed in the machine. we reset the BIOS to computer per nvidia. NVIDIA is saying I might only be able to run the two kepler GPU cards and take the quadro 4000 cpu card out and see how it runs. I had my partner at AU show in vegas last week and he just got back and said the engineers at vray are going to look at issue this week and get back with us. We just have been jacking with this for three weeks now. Boxx computers has been helping out in this issue trying to figure out whats causing this problem. I was just wondering if any one else is having this problem.

Do any of you guys use v-ray RT? I have just installed two nvidia kepler 5000 gpu cards with one quadro 4000 CPU card for primary card and I am having issues with RT. I render large 20,000sf under roof luxury homes and it seems when I have large scene it crashes V-ray or does not render out right. I have tried interior shots that are large size same problem. I have been in comunication with v-ray and it seems I am being taken around the block on on RT problem. I understand RT with the new GPU cards are new techonlogy and the bugs need to be worked out. The cost of the kepler 5000 is alot of money and if RT is not going to work right I need to return the cards. Any feed back?
