VRAM usage

[Soal GIVORD]

Hello, 

we are currently doing a lot of GPU rendering with Blender Cycles and we would like to know how much VRAM is requiered for a job, so RR can select clients based on their VRAM capacities.

Is there a solution for that? Or is it a feature you plan to add in the future?

Same question about VRAM monitoring : RR seems to tracks RAM usage very well but not VRAM at all.

Thanks a lot

Best regards

Hi

 

It might be that the GPU columns are not visible in your rrControl layout.

Please right-click on the table header (Screenshot left side)

Then there is a setting for the required GPU memory of a job. (See Screenshot right side)

If you want to know how much GPU memory was used during the render, then please take a look at the bottom of a render log file:

 

 

IMPORTANT NOTE:
RR can not measure the memory usage per application.
It is the total amount used at that time.
So if an artist was logged in at the same time as the render happened, it is probably higher.

Hi Holger,

Thanks for the reply and the feedback it helps us a lot!

I assume that it is indeed way more easy to track global vram usage instead of vram usage on application, but since the machines are only used for RR purpose it will suits our needs perfectly.

Best regards,
