So happy to have you back! And thank you very much for your detailed benchmarks and also your personal thoughts on the matter. Much appreciated!

Man was waiting on this. Back almost after a year hope more content is on its way. GL guys.

I moved from 3090 to 4090, mostly working with Substance Painter and Marmoset. I was very disappointment with the 'perceived' speed improvement in Substance Painter in terms of basic activities, like changing scene texture resolution on a complex scene with many layers and smart materials. That program really needs a standardized benchmark. I would love to hear any other artists who upgraded similarly and would give their input. Mediaman if you ever have an interest to try and develop some unofficial benchmarks or scenes for Substance Painter, I would be down to brainstorm and maybe figure out some scenes to setup. I just don't know enough about benchmarks and controls.

These are great videos. Glad to see you're still posting them

So happy to see you guys back!

Great to have you back! This video was super helpful, explained nicely too. Thank you.

Thank you dear Mediaman for the video. I am happy you are back now. Hope to see more from you. Best.

from Malaysia to Vancouver? Wow, good luck with that : ) nice video!

I just bought a used 3090 from a miner four months ago and find it really increased what I can do! I can only imagine how much more a 4090 could help me! With the 3090 I am able to do much more complex stuff than I could before. I find myself making much more complex animations now, so my artwork has increased in value. As far as concerns with the 4090 power usage, I think it might actually use less power per unit of work done than the 3090, just by virtue of finishing almost twice as fast! Also I often process that might take my 3090 18 hours! This means the GPU will likely be processing in the late afternoon/early evening when we in California face higher rates in an effort to reduce peak-time usage. A 4090 might get the job done before then and actually SAVE money on electricity.

Yay new video! Thanks for coming back

THX for sharing this... very learning ...

Thanks for your time. Great to get a sober, matter-of-fact benchmark review from someone in the industry.

These videos are great. This is exactly the kind of information I've been looking for.

WOW! This is a pleasant surprise. Welcome back Mike! We missed you 😮

Happy to see you back again

Excellent videos always Thanks

amazing as always very useful information in all of your videos

fantastic review!

Good to see you back Mike.

Hello, welcome back, I am very happy and very excited about your future videos

Thanks for the video. I'm a huge Blender fan. The rtx 4090 was way out of my affordability range. I got a rtx 4080 for $1050 from best buy early black Friday. $1050 is out of my affordability range too but I bought it anyway.

Very informative ❤

im happy to see you back ... best channel for compare gpu with blender . thnx a lot man ! if i get money ofcourse im gonna get 2 4090 ofcourse ^^ .

great video. thanks

Thanks for video! Would like to see tests in Substance painter, as it's more relevant for me as 3d artist

Welcome back 😊

happy to see you again🙂🙂

like your videos, man. Hope to see more videos can you also give Unreal engine 5 score in future videos?

Holy moly... he is back :D :D

He’s back! 🎉

Great video!! Could you do the same video with a RTX4090 vs 2 x RTX3090?? Really curious about that outcome. Also curious what is does with Davinci Resolve. Keep it up 😃👍

At last new video😊, already thank you before iwatch it.

Thanks for this and other videos :) I'm waiting for material dedicated to Vram and limitations in large 3D scenes. And also the one comparing sets of two cards, including the 3090x2, also in terms of large 3D scenes and VRAM shared by a total of two graphics cards. I am currently planning to build a new computer for 3D rendering in Vray (expansion based on an old board and a first-generation 1950X TR processor). I need at least two graphics cards to increase the VRam capacity. Is the 4090 even an option for me to consider or is it not an option? If I had: 1. 2x 4090 will Vray use 48GB of Vram or will it only use 24Gb from one graphics card? 2. 1x4090 + 1x3090 - as above, will I have 48GB of VRAM available despite the lack of NVlink connection? will I only use 24? 3. 2x 3090 - here, as I understand it, there will be no problem with using the entire VRAM - connecting the cards directly via NVink To use the entire VRAM from two or more cards, do I have to have NVlink or is it also possible without it? Speed is important, but it is more important to have enough memory for large scenes. I was thinking about two cards and maybe buying a third one in the future (also for additional memory. I have a board that will allow this, although the first two cards will be x16 and the additional one would be on eight lines.) @MediamanStudioServices @steve55619 @spontanp @dreagea Can any of you tell me whether Vray in the variants under consideration will be able to use all the VRam in each card - if only the 3D scene requires it?

nice video

i have a question and love to see a video about it, usually when i upgrade my rig i go for the high end gpu, so when the gpu get outdated i cant sell them because it worth nothing and i dont have a great experience with selling my used pc parts its just not worth it for me. so my question is, is there away to build a workstation to add my outdated different cards like my 2080 and my current 3080 when i upgrade to the 5080 to it to work as a render node to support my main machine(i use Vray and blender)? its like a retirement plan for my old gpus. if this build possible what cpu should i get? a threadripper because they offer 64 lanes? or just a ryzen and use the cpu in 8x4 config? linux or windows? WS motherboard or a server racks for gpu? i just came a cross your channel, thenk you for all the videos you made so helpful and to the point.

I was wondering if you could test Dual GPU in 1 system vs Dual Machines for rendering. Your Dual X8 vs Single X16 video was very helpful, but I haven't been able to find anyone who has tested this. I'm wondering is it better to render off 2 GPUs in the same machine vs buying low end-mid motherboard, cpu... etc and diverting the 2nd GPU into that machine and network render off LAN. Thanks in advance, appreciate the videos/tests you make.

Great video. However the 3090 has some other considerations too; - prices are even lower used on eBay, 3090 used goes for about $750, while 4090 used it still $1400+ - 3090 has NVLink - 3090 does not require the new power connector (which requires new PSU)

LOL Welcome back🤣

Welcome to Vancouver! Great choice! Although I guess it could be Van in Washington. *Canada, very nice!

Thanks a ton for your videos !! Miss them !! How to combine 4 x 4090 Sir? :)

I'm actually quite curious about the power draw on the 4090 when rendering. It is extremely power efficient in games, I'm curious if it ever reaches the power limit when rendering.

The first thing to do when getting a gpu so power hungry is too undervolt it: It takes a couple of minutes with MSI Afterburner and can reduce the heat, the noise and the power consumption. Worth to mention that the RTX 3090 can be run in couple with NVlink and programs like Blender will see a single stack of 48 GB of vram.

I am using a 4070 in my film editing rig. I find that system memory and M.2 drives are boss when it comes to video editing with Davinci Resolve Studio. I have dual 22 Core Intel Xeons and 256GB DDR4 Ram in my rig.

Would love to see your thoughts and tests on blower style cards like the ASUS or Gigabyte RTX 3090 Turbo cards and also the upcoming AFOX RTX 4090 cards. How much performance is being left the table vs the usual FE coolers and three fan designs.

Hi Sir Mike, I like to ask you a question and please guide me sir, I assembled a workstation computer for myself but the problem is the booting is very slow and I have to wait for a long time around to 1 minute 10 sec until my computer booting,please tell me what should i do? this is my pc info motherboard is asus wrx80e___cpu amd threadrriper pro 5975___256 gb ddr4 corsir 3200mhz____samsung ssd 980pro ____and rtx 4090, in the bios setting i set rams on docp but it make boot longe than 1min so i set it on auto and put ram’s speed manually on 3200 mhz

🔥

Thanks! Any Radeon gpu is interesting for rendering? 🎄🥂🇮🇹

Good to see you're back. Would it make sense for Dual 3090, if the cost was about the same? You'd have 2x the vram (say for motion design or rendering) and perhaps almost the same performance? Ofc, the power use would be much higher.

looking forward to your VRAM video. The Environments I'm building don't fit in 24gb Card in Cycles. The heat is bad. AsRock WRX80 Creator MB, 3090, 4090, A5000, 256GB Ram, Open Case, 1600 WPS.

If the combined specs were comparable, are there any advantages to running 2 graphics cards as opposed to 1 killer graphics card? it can certainly be much cheaper to buy 2 lesser Gods. I was just cruising the CPU Benchmarks site looking at value ratings and was thinking that 2 Radeon RX 6800's might be almost as good as the 4090 at a fraction of the price. Any thoughts on this matter?

I use rtx 4090 asus tuf plus ekwb water block +active back plate with gooood result

Used 3090 EVGA FTW for $700 here. Had it for 4 ish months👍

The real test i wanted to see, is 2 RTX 3090 on NVlink 48gb vs 1 4090 24gb , on a 50gb + scene

Oh nice! I just ordered a 4090 cuz I used a Quad monitor setup and a 3090 is crying hard whenever I connect my 4K monitor and have 3-4 Adobe apps open. Can't wait to see how much it improves things..

miss you

I would like to see you do comparison with some AMD cards like the 7900XTX

You can get 4x used 3090 or 1x new 4090 for basically the same money. You can nvlink 3090 so you get 48GB VRAM total where with 4090 you will be limited to 24GB always (no nvlink). I'm going with 4x3090.

"If you can afford the best, buy the 4090; it is outperforming the 3090, in some cases, by 50%" Small but important nitpick: If the 4090's performance is, in some cases, twice that of the 3090, then the 4090 is outperforming the 3090 by *100%*. Depending on which position you make your baseline, the correct description of the difference in performance changes. It would be correct to say the 3090 is underperforming the 4090 by 50%, but the correct way to describe the performance of the 4090 is to say it is outperforming the 3090 by 100%.

What about RTX 4070ti ?

Rtx 4090 vs rtx 6000 ada vs rtx a6000 amp ...cool.

What about RTX 4070 for blender learning?

I knew 4090's were quite a bit better, but didn't think it was that much better. I still don't regret getting my 3090, it I need more possessing power I will get a second 3090 with a NVME link. When you run blender in SLI mode, blender gives you the option to stack memory, not just run it in parallel.

I wish yhe 4090 had more vram.

I am wait for 6090ti 2027

The 4090 is faster but the ram amount did not change. If my 3090 decided to to die. Then I would get a 4090 or something better with more than 24gb

Why not 3090tI? Its so obvious.. Also nobody (almost) now would buy "new" 3090, so 3090ti used now from 600$+ vs new or used 4090 for 1400$+..

you are being missed

You have retUrned

Personally, I don't care about either Nvidia card. I bought an AMD RX 6900 XT for $550 USD, and thus far it's more than enough for my gaming and content creation needs.
