Hello everyone. I for one have grown annoyed by render times and want a faster alternative. I am a heavy gamer and my current video card is the Ati Radeon HD 6670 low profile. It’s a great card. Until I found out that Blender doesn’t support AMD graphics cards for rendering. I am now looking for the Nvidia equivalent of my current graphics so that I can game and render stuff quickly. My price range is up to around 120 bucks. And don’t forget that the card must be low profile. Suggestions?
There is no low-profile GPU that is good for GPGPU rendering. Even if Cycles did support your GPU (or rather, if AMD supported Cycles) it wouldn’t be useful for GPGPU rendering, either.
Look at the benchmarks thread, you’d need at least a GTX650 just to compete with a decent quadcore CPU.
The only thing is, I don’t have a Quad core CPU. I have an Intel Core 2 CPU @ 1.87 GHz (clocked at around 3.33 GHz). Rendering 200 frames at 200 samples took like 10 hours and the scene wasn’t even that detailed at all. It was a particle system with like 5 material nodes and a glossy object with a high amount of roughness. Ever since I got this video card, my CPU is now the thing that slows the computer down. My GPU runs everything with ease. Not so much for my CPU…

The only Graphics card which i could find which meets that on www.newegg.com is the Jaton Video-PX610GT-Lx GeForce GT 610 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Low Profile video card. Jaton is a off brand and i never dealed with it before so idk how good that brand is but the GeForce 610 is kinda good for cycles rendering as it is what i use and it spend up my rendering times by around 8x to 15x depending on what i am rendering and how complex it is. It has HDMI, DVI, and D-Sub so whatever your monitor has it will have it just it isn’t a gaming class card like the Radeon HD 6670 is so your gaming performance will drop if you switch the 6670 out for the 610. i am unsure how well OpenCL is supported in Blender and if you can just turn it on to get the performance boost with your current card as that would be the better route as i see it. though you could always do a custom setup of having booth cards in at the same time though it will be kinda tricky and not really supported by anyone it is prosable just don’t try to use them for video performance and just use the nVidia card for CUDA and the AMD card for actual video output. It is theoretically possible to do just i never have seen it set up is all but if the nVidia card is plugged in blender should regonize it even if it isn’t the active card for video output.
As it is only $55 it is worth a try and please post back if it works.
Beste single slot card i could find is a EVGA GeForce GT 640 (single slot) 4GB for around 100 bucks
Hi. Sorry for writing in quite old thread. I have just sold my HD7970 and I need new card. I see all xls files with render time, Blender Cycles Benchmark and other news about “what GPU is best for Blender”. But I don’t know what to think about it. Anyone can tell which card will be best for Blender Cycles?
I was reading that Titan is best and second is GTX580. In Blender Cycles Benchmark GTX680 is faster than GTX580…
All this informations are confusing
So… what is best choice?
I was thinking about MSI GTX580 TWINFROZR 3GB ( I found something like that in polish shop)
but now I have to dacide and have a big mess with all those infos.
I work on i5 2500K, 8GB Ram, SSD 120GB.
Thanks in advance.
Sorry for my english :o
It turns out that my dad got me an Nvidia GT 640 Low-Profile ready for Christmas. That beast divided my CPU render times by 10. So in my personal opinion, any video card that cost around 100 bucks will render stuff faster than your CPU.
