Did I bought the wrong Videocard for Thea Render? (ASUS NVIDIA RTX 3090 OC)

Rutger Claussen

Hi,
I'd like to have some advice.

My customer asked for an other PC for auto cad and sketchup rendering.

I advised an Intel i9 with a Nvidia Quadro RTX 4000 but the customer wanted a RTX 3090.

So we build and configured this pc for him.
Today they start using the PC and it does not meet the expectations.

The setup: ASUS motherboard, Intel i9, 32GB RAM, 512GB M2 SSD, ASUS Nvidia RTX 3090 OC.

The customer uses SketchUP and Thea Render.
The Benchmark score is 18152.

Also the GPU information in Task manager shows almost no activity during a render or during the benchmark.

What can we do increase performance? Or is this the performance you expect in this scenario?

 

Looking forward to your reply.

Thanks in Advance.

Based on similar GPUs, it seems that your client's GPU is performing pretty well. The following link filters out (3090 + GPU only) the results: https://www.thearender.com/benchmark/results3.php?search=3090&show=gpu

Also the GPU information in Task manager shows almost no activity during a render or during the benchmark.

Please open up the Thea Tool panel and switch to the Settings tab. From there, scroll down to the devices list and make sure that the 3090 is the only one enabled (ticked). If the GPU is not working you should be seeing a black screen in the Viewport.

Kind regards,
George
