RTX graphics cards are almost twice as fast compared to NVIDIA’s Pascal series graphics cards. The result is noise-free images with very high fidelity. NVIDIA Geforce series graphics cards, the RTX3060, RTX3070, RTX3080 and RTX3090 models demonstrate their power in Arnold 6 in particular by combining RTX-accelerated rendering and GPU-accelerated AI denoising for fast, interactive rendering. We can recommend the following graphics cards for optimal rendering results: NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000 with 8GB DDR6 VRAM, NVIDIA Quadro RTX5000 with Cuda cores, NVIDIA Quadro RTX6000 with 24GB VRAM. Take advantage of the new technology to improve your rendering performance. Arnold is optimised for NVIDIA RTX series graphics cards with CUDA cores. Once confirmed, ensure that the most current drivers are installed:įrom version 6 onwards you are able to switch between CPU and GPU rendering. Select the renderer from the drop-down list in the Render Settings window.įind the name of the graphics card, and confirm that the card is on the System requirements for Autodesk Maya list.Select the renderer from the drop-down list in the Render View window ( Windows > Rendering Editors > Render View).Click Render > Render Using, then choose the renderer.Or, if you press the Display Render Settings window button, the Render Settings window appears, showing the Common tab and tab that corresponds to the selected renderer. For example, if you render the current frame, Maya uses the renderer to process the image and display it in the Render View. When you select a renderer, Maya’s user interface is automatically configured to use that renderer. If a supported processor cannot be implemented, use a different renderer in Maya.

To determine if the processor meets this requirement, find the name of the CPU and search for it on the manufacturer website. Arnold rendering system requirements state that the processor (CPU) in use must support SSE4.1 instruction set.
