    Thought it would be interesting to see how my new laptop with an RTX 2070 and a i9-9900K performed compared to the desktops. Looks like it did pretty well for a laptop. It's an MSI GT76 Titan DT 9SF-091.

    Hope I did everything properly!!

    Updated tables with all the latest results. 

    @TheMysteryIsThePoint out of curiosity, how did you manage to cram 4 2080Ti's onto a Gaming 7 board?

    No idea about most of the stuff like Brand/ Model etc as this is an ASUS pre-built, whatever is in it is what they stuck in it, even System has very little info on what is in here.

    CPU - Intel i5 9400 2.9

    GPU - GTX 1660 Ti

    RAM - pretty sure it's one 8Gb stick of DDR4 2666

    OS  - Win 10 home 64

    driver - 436.48

    DS - 4.12.0.86 (64)

    OptiX on

    Little difference wether OptiX is on or off

     

    EDIT

    It's an ASUS ROG STRIX GL10CS for anyone that knows wtf that means

    Thanks for posting. I think that's the first 1660ti time posted, so its always good to get numbers for new cards. So it provides a noticeable bump over the 1660, but there is a big gap between it and the 2060, and especially the 2060 Super. Notably it beats the 1070, and basically ties the 1070ti.

    I would expect ASUS to list a model for the overall system, which would probably give most of the missing info. ASUS makes their own GPUs, so we at least know it is an ASUS Strix branded card. They have lots of different models, and they can have variants with 1, 2 or even 3 fans. In general, the more fans probably means faster factory overclocks. The single fan one has a "gaming mode" of 1785 Mhz, while the fastest triple fan (that I found) has a gaming mode set to 1860 Mhz. For Daz Iray the cards should render at around those clockspeeds. The card would shoot up its advertised boost clock at the start of a render, then as temps go up the clocks would drop to the advertised gaming clock for the rest of the render as long as temps stay within spec. So, if you have a hardware monitor running, you can probably figure out which ASUS you have by observing the clockspeeds it hits.

    BTW, if you have 8GB of RAM, I would think about adding another 8 fairly soon. It can work, but you may find yourself running out of RAM. My laptop has 8, and I can run it up just with browsing tabs and video. Daz can eat up memory, too, and if you use all the 6GB VRAM you have on your GPU, you may well exceed your 8GB RAM in the process, and your computer would run terrible. If your hard drive or SSD is constantly getting pegged, that could indicate you are using a lot of memory from paging files because the RAM is full. Plus if that is an SSD, that could be bad for its longevity. So the extra RAM would not only speed up the system, it would help extend the life of the SSD. You could probably contact ASUS about the exact memory they used if you decide you would like to add more.

    Sorry, didn't see this post.

    The fourth one indeed doesn't fit into the second 8x slot because of other jumpers on the edge of the motherboard. But, and I cannot claim foresight for this as it didn't even occur to me that they might not physically fit, my full tower case happened to have a double width slot mounted horizontally just above where the other three cards are, so the 4th card almost lays flat along the case door. Then this:

    Phanteks PH-CBRS_FL22 – 220mm Pci-E X16 Riser Cable, 90 Degree Adapter, EMI Shielded, Slim Design

    did the trick.

    The cards are all blowers, so having them stacked so closely together is not a problem for the fans and the hot air is vented outside of the case.

    Incidentally, though, is that with all four cards installed, all the SATA ports stopped working. In any case, I think I've bought my last Gigabyte motherboard. I had two Titan RTXs that I returned because the cards worked great but I got no video signal. I had to remote into it to run Blender. The machine POSTed, and booted fine, just no video. Either card worked fine alone in either slot, though, with no problems at all. And Gigabyte was of absolutely no help at all.

    Managed to shave off about 30s with a modest oc of the 2069 super. I got +140 on the clock and +700 on the memory before it started to throttle. Although I will be putting it back to stock. My ears just can't take it. Gpu fans running at 100% + having to up the case fans.

    A 2069 huh, well now, that really must be super. devil

    But yeah, that kind of overclock is probably not advisable. Maybe you kept it from throttling but I wonder how that would really play out after an hour or so of rendering. Not to mention extra stress on the fans. I also kind of doubt the memory overclock made any difference. Iray is not swapping data in and out like a game does (due to the entire scene loading onto VRAM), so it is not pushing VRAM like it is the GPU core. In fact, I guarantee if you tried playing a game with those same overclock settings (and especially a game benchmark like TimeSpy,) it wouldn't hold because the games will run a lot hotter than Iray due to the additional stress on memory. I can run 10C or more hotter with a game VS Iray. The memory OC might help the initial loading time, so you might see a slight reduction in time just due to that, but it wont actually speed up rendering itself.

    If Iray behaved differently, like say how Octane can run "out of core rendering" with a CPU, then maybe memory speed would matter more. But the way Iray is designed I don't see any benefit to memory speed other than very minor and specific instances. We don't even see a benefit going from PCIe2 to 3. It is not something Iray relies on.

    Any chance you could post a pic of your card setup within the case?

    I'd rather not disconnect everything and pull it out of the corner just to take a picture of the fourth card on top of and obscuring the other three, as well as my bird's nest wiring job. In any case, there're really no decisions to be made; if you're going to do it, your particular setup is fully determined by where your case has put the extra double slot bracket. I think this is becoming more common because a dinky little $79 case I built for a NAS had one, too.

    I can say that it works perfectly, though, and heat does not appear to be a problem, even with them crammed in there with so little space between them, especially the first three directly on the motherboard. I haven't rendered frames overnight with them yet, but I don't expect any problems. With the dual 1080 setup I upgraded from, they would emit an odour of hot metal that was kind of concerning. Now it's worse, but everything works.

    The oc adds a 9 to it. Yeah, I don't fancy running it at full whack on the verge of throttling for any length of time, just to save 5 minutes on the hour. And ear defenders can get quite annoying over that time.

    Thanks for this. Now we have a 2070 Super to add to the list, which gives us at least one bench time for all of the Super series of cards (unless I overlooked one). And this one looks quite interesting. The 2070 Super is quite a bit faster than a 2070 (a solid 2 minutes faster), and actually it comes in faster than the 2080 posted here as well. It is not too far off from a 2080 Super we have posted, which is surprising. That is pretty impressive considering the 2070 Super is around $200 less than the 2080 Super.

    Also of note is that this is on an older Z97 motherboard with an i7-4790. Further demonstrating how little those matter.

Now it's worse, but everything works.

     

    I gotcha. I was curious about using those and after watching few videos about how most users are mounting the cards seems like it would take some Macgyvering to get it to physically work. Seems like those adapter cable lengths are capped depending on the pci gen speed you want to operate at.

    Thanks for this. Now we have a 2070 Super to add to the list, which gives us at least one bench time for all of the Super series of cards (unless I overlooked one). And this one looks quite interesting. The 2070 Super is quite a bit faster than a 2070 (a solid 2 minutes faster), and actually it comes in faster than the 2080 posted here as well. It is not too far off from a 2080 Super we have posted, which is surprising. That is pretty impressive considering the 2070 Super is around $200 less than the 2080 Super.

    Also of note is that this is on an older Z97 motherboard with an i7-4790. Further demonstrating how little those matter.

    I was looking at the price of GPU cards here in NZ yesterday and it looks like the 2080 ti is twice the price of the 2070 Super here. Looking at these numbers, I'm quite surprised to see that the 2070 Super is only a minute slower than the 2080 ti (just over 5 mins vs just over 4). Is that worth paying double? Admittedly, the 2080 ti has 11GB VRAM which is looking more important these days as NVidia & DAZ between them seem to be finding ways to use up all that VRAM leaving less scope for adding characters to the scenes.

    Way to make me feel good and bad at the same time. Old hardware indeed...  Just kidding. I thought about investing in updating these, but decided not to bother.

    I am wondering if part of the difference has to do with the SSD or the power supply. I have an 850 in there, which should have been enough for the two 970s, but I question if that was the case. I know available power has little to do with the GPU, but I wonder if the excess keeps it from throttling down when it is under load.

    To be fair, the x80ti has historically been a lot more expensive than other cards. Both it and the Titan have never been something you could describe as "price to performance leaders". The 1080ti released at $700, which was roughly twice the cost of the 1070. So the 2080ti costing twice the price of the 2070 and its Super is not so surprising when you think about it. However it cannot be denied that one of the biggest complaints about Turing is how the prices have inflated dramatically over Pascal across the whole lineup. Before Turing launched, I was considering buying a 2080ti, as I owned a 1080ti...until I saw the price announced. Though technically the base price was $1000, Nvidia had the Founder's Edition for $1200, and I instantly knew that most 3rd party vendors would follow closer to the higher $1200 than $1000. So it would be rare to find a 2080ti at that lower price. Either way, even the lower end of that was more than I was willing to spend, and I decided not to buy one. I picked a 2nd used 1080ti instead, which I snagged for about $450. So I was pretty happy with that, and by the time the 3000 series comes along I'll have got my money's worth out of my two 1080tis.

I know available power has little to do with the GPU, but I wonder if the excess keeps it from throttling down when it is under load.

    Modern PSUs do a good job of regulating power. Its not a factor unless somebody buys one that is not nearly adequate for their needs. Even then, most power supplies can actually push well beyond their advertised Wattage, that 850 is simply the guaranteed Wattage and a they keep this conservative for safety. You could probably push over a 1000 Watts on that system, though I certainly would never suggest attempting it. The drives only effect the loading speed, so if your assets were also on a SSD like your OS they would shave a few seconds off the load time...but that is all. So they would not effect rendering either. Simply put, all that matters is your GPU. If you use multiple GPUs, THEN and only then do other components start to matter a little bit. So if your i7 is doing fine for you with how you use your PC, then why bother? That i7 can still play games pretty well too without being too much of a bottleneck on high end GPUs, if that matters to you.

    And I know this because I have an i5 4690. So your old CPU still beats mine! I play everything at 1440p with no issues. I do plan on getting a Ryzen sometime. But I am not in a rush. I was going to get a 3900X, but then I bought a house. That kind of changed things, LOL.

    The more likely factors would be the card's cooling and boost clocks. If the 2080ti or 2080 Supers that were benched ran hot or are low end models, they could downclock more during the bench. If your 2070 Super runs really cool, it could maintain its boost for longer, letting it catch up. Sadly we can't factor all of these variables here, it would just be impossible. But even with different cooling we should still see clear trends. Like all the 2080tis tend to bench very similarly, even though each system is wildly different and the 2080tis can be clocked differently. Its also possible you just won the silicone lottery and got a really good performing chip that will hold its boost clock better.

    No, not at all... no Macgyvering. I would not have attempted the kind of surgeries I've read about on a $1300 card. It should be very easy, if your case has the extra double bracket. Be sure to get the riser with the 90 degree connector and it is really easy. No guesswork because there's really only one way to do it. But blowers are essential.

    As far as speed vs length, I guess for 8x, 220mm is OK.

    Good luck, and let us know how it turns out.

    Just finished updating, the tables for those interested. And yeah, that 2070 SUPER score is very interesting considering how close it is to the 2080 SUPER. Although I suspect that has more to do with the current 2080 SUPER score being under-representative of its true relative performance due to software differences (our only 2080 SUPER score so far was supplied by @TheKD running 436.30 drivers on a Windows 7 system.)

    I know you've already got a sample for this card on this version of Iray, but it doesn't hurt to shoot a pattern, and it will give me something to refer back to should I upgrade the system at any point*.

    Iteration Rate: 1.0344 iterations per second
    Loading Time: 8.13 seconds

     * Unfortunately, for practical reasons I'm limited to low-profile/half-height cards, which means the only viable upgrade right now is the GTX 1650, and making the assumption that (without RT cores) the performance is going to be roughly proportional to gaming benchmarks, that's a disappointingly small margin of improvement (apparently only about 30-40%).

    I had been hoping that Nvidia would announce the GTX 1650 Ti such that I could upgrade to a low profile version of that, but with the announcement of the 1650 Super as a 100 Watt card, it seems unlikely that's going to exist as a low profile card. (Which is disappointing, as with the gaming benchmarks being nearly twice the 1050 Ti, it would have been a wonderful boost).

    So, if there's a passable Black Friday deal on a 1650, I might end up taking it. I know it's not going to be a great Iray card, but the possibility of cutting four hour renders down to three hour renders is still somewhat tempting.

    Thanks for posting. So Timon630's 2070 pretty much matches Drip's 2070 with 4.12, which is good, we have some consistent data.

    Thinking about the 2070 Super and 2080 Super, I remember some reviewers not being very impressed by the 2080 Super. I also recall that Puget's testing came up with some very weird results for 2070 and 2080 with Vray. The 2070 actually beat the 2080, and they tested it multiple times. Then when the 2070 Super released, this anomaly repeated itself. The 2070 Super beat the 2080 Super in the Vray bench. https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/V-Ray-Next-GPU-Roundup-NVIDIA-GeForce-RTX-SUPER-Performance-1548/

    Obviously Vray is not Iray, and these benches really made me question Puget's methods, but there is some precedent for the 2070 and 2080 having odd performance in a rendering engine. I think the general Takeaway is the 2080 Super was not as enhanced as the 2060 and 2070 Supers were compared to their non Super versions. And maybe there is a quirk with the 2080 Super that is keeping it from performing as well as it should for this type of rendering.

    I'm deciding if I should buy a RTX 2060 Super or a RTX 2070 Super, and since here there are some results for both of them, I'd like to see how my 2060 behaves in this test.
    I've installed this Public Build just to test this out, to compare the two Daz Studio versions.

    Congratulations on this thread RayDAnt, it looks very professional :)
    Thanks for allowing us to gather this data.

    Sorry, can't find that, but I've found this:

    2019-12-04 12:01:17.444 Iray [INFO] - IRAY:RENDER ::   1.0   IRAY   rend info : Received update to 01800 iterations after 479.971s.
    2019-12-04 12:01:17.450 Iray [INFO] - IRAY:RENDER ::   1.0   IRAY   rend info : Maximum number of samples reached.

    Iteration Rate: 3,750
    Loading Time: around 3.074s (1st iteration finished) I guess, sorry

    Again, I can't manage to find that

    2019-12-04 12:17:53.531 Iray [INFO] - IRAY:RENDER ::   1.0   IRAY   rend info : Received update to 00001 iterations after 6.425s.

    So, in my test, the 2 versions are basically identical, with the only difference being that the Beta started to render 3 seconds after.

    This is basically the only way to understand Iray GPU performance.

    So, compared to the existing test, my 2060 was 7% faster (3,750 vs 3,505 iterations per second) in the stable build.

    Yet, a 2060 Super achieved 4,444, +18,5% compared to my RTX 2060.
    And the 2070 Super achieved 6,202, +65% compared to my RTX 2060, and +40% compared to the 2060 Super.
    The RTX 2080 and 2080 Super didn't go much faster.
