I am using a EVGA Geforce GTX 970 FTW, on a AMD FX2+ MB (PCI express 3.0 slot). A8-6600K (4 core CPU). And I would think I would get a kick ass system. I can never win trying to get a fast comp to perform on these CGI programs (Blender, Carrara, now Poser). Like this board can not handle this Nvidia cards. I like Nvidia due to the CUDA cores. Ati/AMD has these Steam processors and looking into a RX480. But, now I have to get a Intel board, intel CPUs are very expensive. Although in the next year the Zen is coming out.

Hi there

If you have GTX970 then you should be able render anything what you want,just check log and I would install GPU-Z which would tell you how much or if its GPU used Do you have latest drivers installed there for NVIDIA and are you using Windows 7 or Windows 10?

My PC is ASRock X99 Extreme6,i7-5820k OC 4.5GHz,96GB DDR4 and those two GPU(GTX1080 and Titan X),PC is used mostly for rendering like in Poser or in other SW like is 3DS MAX or Blender

Here is it how it looks in my PC

I would say you have there maybe there some sort of conflict there,please check Event Viewer and if its possible try my settings,try render with lower bucket size like 128 or 256,but still think this can be simple as driver issue

I like AMD GPU,but most of the renderers still using CUDA and OpenCL renderers are few,but I've used for while AMD FireRender or ProRender in 3DS MAX which is awesome renderer and is free and should be coming soon to Blender too and yes agree Intel boards and CPU are very expensive there and all depends on budget there

If ZEN will be here,I'm thinking to switch too,from leaked benches should be good one and hopefully will deliver nice increase in performance against older generation

Hope this helps

Thanks,Jura
