Third GPU upgrade at our render farm in three years

That’s right. We have upgraded the RenderStreet GPU machines for the third time in as many years, so we can offer you faster than ever renders at a lower cost. The new T4 GPUs are power-efficient data center GPUs based on Nvidia’s Turing architecture and each new server holds 4 such GPUs, with 16 GB of RAM per GPU. Read on to see how they fare against the previous-gen Volta boards in our rendering battery of tests.

One more thing before you begin: the new GPUs are already live – in fact, if you use RenderStreet, you have been using them for the past month. The hourly price remains the same, which means that your renders are now cheaper – because they complete faster.

We put the new boards to our standard battery of eight Blender Cycles rendering tests, to see how they perform. Each scene was rendered twice, and the lowest time was recorded. Let’s see the numbers! (new GPUs are shown in green)
