VRED 0% GPU usage

[jesperar]

Hi there!

Im currently using VRED with GPU raytracing enabled. However i notice via taskmanager that my RTX GPU sits at 0% usage and very cool temperatures. I wonder if i somehow can make VRED use my GPU more and in that way render way faster?

Thanks!

Taskmanager doesn´t show the GPU usage, it shows the 3D usage by default which in case of GPU raytracing is VRED is pretty close to 0. On Quadro GPUs it is best to take a look at the GPU usage in the NVIDIA control panel. It is also possible to switch the windows task manager to show CUDA usage on some systems (might also only work on Quadro systems). Not sure what works on Geforce GPUs.

Anyways, this is a Windows taskmanager issue, not a VRED issue. GPU usage for GPU raytracing in VRED gets pretty close to 100% even on multiple GPUs on any but the most simplistic scenes.

I see! Thanks for the answer!
