3D rendering is slow. Is it better to buy a graphics card or use cloud rendering?

3D rendering is no stranger to architects and designers. During the 3D rendering process, rendering lags occur, special materials are difficult to render, or local configuration is insufficient or local rendering resources are insufficient, which often affects work efficiency. This article compares whether it is more cost-effective to buy a graphics card or use cloud rendering to improve work efficiency when rendering 3D. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

Slow 3D rendering speed usually brings the following pain points:

1. Inefficient work: Slow rendering speeds can lead to reduced work efficiency, especially in large and complex projects where rendering times can take hours or even days.

2. Projects are behind schedule: Due to slow rendering speeds, projects may be delayed and not completed on time.

3. Work effect affected: Slow rendering speed may lead to a decrease in rendering quality, affecting the quality of the final product.

4. Waste of resources: The long rendering process requires a large amount of computing resources, such as memory, CPU, etc., which wastes limited resources.

Based on the above pain points, people will consider purchasing high-performance graphics cards or using cloud rendering. So, is it more cost-effective to spend a lot of money to buy a graphics card or use cloud rendering?

Which is better, high-performance graphics card or cloud rendering?

High-performance graphics cards and cloud rendering each have their own characteristics, and which one you choose depends on personal needs and budget. Cloud rendering relies on high-performance CPU machines or GPU machines with a much higher thread count than home computers, so rendering speeds are faster.

Cloud rendering can also render in batches, allowing multiple projects to be processed at the same time, thereby improving efficiency. In addition, using the cloud rendering platform is not affected by accidents such as computer interruptions, and the rendering process can be monitored through the web page or WeChat applet, which is more convenient than local rendering. Rendering 12 images on the cloud rendering platform can automatically distribute tasks, which is more efficient than local rendering.

Ultimately, the decision between using a high-performance graphics card or cloud rendering comes down to personal needs and budget. If an individual needs to render images efficiently and quickly, and the budget allows, then using a high-performance graphics card is a good choice, but if batch rendering is required and is cost-sensitive, then using cloud rendering may be more appropriate.

Comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of high-performance graphics cards and cloud rendering

A comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of high-performance graphics cards and cloud rendering is as follows:

01 Advantages of high-performance graphics cards

• Performance is high even for high-end 3D graphics and animation rendering.
• Rendering is handled locally, no network connection required.
• Real-time preview and interaction are possible.

02 Disadvantages of high-performance graphics cards

• Requires high purchase cost.
• Additional space and power may be required.
• Drivers may need to be updated periodically.

Advantages of cloud rendering

• Public cloud computing resources can be utilized without significant investment.
• No additional space or power is required for rendering equipment.
• Easier resource management.

Cloud rendering disadvantages

• Longer network latency and bandwidth requirements may be required.
• May be affected by public cloud computing resources.
• There may be a higher cost than native rendering.

Real-time cloud rendering solution

As the leading method, cloud rendering has the pain points of higher cost and unstable network. However, the 3DCAT real-time cloud rendering solution under RAYVIN Technology is here. It has a very cost-effective price and stronger network supply and computing power. Support, the following will introduce you to the advantages of 3DCAT

1. Greater portability and ease of use: No need to download and debug the APP repeatedly, just open the link and you can experience the XR application anytime and anywhere

2. Data security: By storing content in the cloud and separating it from users, intellectual property rights are effectively protected and the platform is authoritatively certified by TPN.

3. Efficient performance: Covering more than 100 edge nodes across the country, quickly dispatching resources and improving operation and maintenance efficiency.

4. Terminal optimization: Break the restrictions of XR applications on terminals and achieve lightweight and adaptive terminals.

5. Better display effects: The cloud can run and render more complex scenes, presenting realistic picture effects.

6. One-stop solution: Provide a one-stop solution from XR content production, uploading to the cloud, streaming to distribution.

7. Super computing power: RAYUN's task scheduling engine can easily manage millions of rendering frame queues and schedule them in milliseconds. A single cluster can manage 10,000 nodes, which is much higher than the industry average.
