It takes me 8 hours in final quality although i have a high performance pc. I know archicad uses cpu for the rendrings. Is there a way to do the renderings with video card so to become faster? if i cant use the video card for renderings can anybody suggest other ways for faster and high quality renderings?<BR /> my pc specs are : cpu ---&gt;&gt;intel core i7 - 3770<BR /> ram--&gt;&gt; 16 gb <BR /> ssd--&gt;&gt; ocz vector 128 gb<BR /> gpu--&gt;&gt; Amd R9-290</T></DIV> Thu, 11 May 2023 09:59:24 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Visualization/How-to-render-faster-using-gpu-video-card/m-p/258579#M5834 Anonymous 2023-05-11T09:59:24Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Visualization/How-to-render-faster-using-gpu-video-card/m-p/258580#M5835 Octane render works with ArchiCAD, that uses GPU for rendering.<BR /> <BR /> It's hard to say anything about the 8 hours, without knowing model details, render settings etc.<BR /> <BR /> If it's a true final render for some billboard or presentation flyer, that doesn't seem unreasonable (if it is a detailed model).<BR /> <BR /> If it's just for one of many client presentation, I would consider looking for a way to present the work that takes less time.
