Thank you!

really appreciated, thank you


     

This is helpful thank you. The problem I'm having is iClone 7 is not using the GPU. I have GPU selected in addition to the number of CPU cores, but it is not using the GPU at all. I have the Quadro P5000 with 16GB of unused VRAM. Any ideas on how to get iClone to use this VRAM?

I am rendering out the IBL Animation iProject as provided in iClone 7 to see how well it will render. So far its been working on it all night and today and only about 70% done. After watching the video you posted, which was helpful, I changed my viewport setting to minimal which definitely helped. Now if I can use that GPU then the render time would be significantly reduced.

I don't think Quadro is supported

Thank you, someone else mentioned that to me as well recently. I didn't realize that mean't not used but I think that's the deal. Thanks.

I could be wrong but I don't think its your card I have a gtx 1070 and I have the same problem slow renders only uses 15 percent of my gpu with cpu turned of if I use cpu the gpu only uses 7% of card I tried everthing this video above said didn't help but I can go to daz and it renders fast. I did a background render of 50 frames in I clone it took 13 hours and only 60%. it just will not use my card my dedicated gpu has 4 g memory left I have another 12 in shared gpu memory.i have cc3 and iclone on a 860 evo ssd and system runs on a 256 m2 970 evo ssd.

I have the same problem, I have NVIDIA RTX 2060 and it uses no more than10% of its capacity.

10% capacity of what parameter of GPU and how did you measure that?

The only reliable way is to use GPU-Z to monitor. The usage fluctuates per frame rendered, so an average number doesn't mean anything.

Do you have the GPU checked in the "hardware settings"?
