Last week the LuxCoreRender 2.5 open source physically based renderer was released. Significantly with this v2.5 update is support for OptiX / RTX acceleration in addition to the existing CUDA, OpenCL and CPU render paths. That’s why here are some new benchmarks from LuxCoreRender 2.5 for a range of NVIDIA graphics cards.
Version 2.5 is another exciting update to this exciting open-source PBR renderer that competes with the commercial renderers. In today’s article, a look at the GPU-accelerated (OptiX) performance with an assortment of nineteen different NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards on hand for providing some reference results around the performance.
The tests were conducted from a Ryzen 9 5900X system running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with the NVIDIA 465.24.02 driver. The graphics cards available for testing included:
– GTX 1080
– GTX 1650
– GTX 1650 SUPER
– GTX 1660
– GTX 1660 SUPER
– GTX 1660 Ti
– RTX 2060
– RTX 2060 SUPER
– RTX 2070
– RTX 2070 SUPER
– RTX 2080
– RTX 2080 SUPER
– RTX 2080 Ti
– TITAN RTX
– RTX 3060
RTX 3060 Ti
– RTX 3070
– RTX 3080
– RTX 3090
GPU core temperatures and GPU power consumption were also checked while running these LuxCoreRender 2.5 reference NVIDIA GPU benchmarks.
