Average GPU usage for MPE?

Feb 8, 2013 9:44 PM

Hey fellas - I just wanted to ask an informal survey for those that have CUDA enabled. What's your average GPU usage during rendering?  I just ran the GPU Meter gadget and noticed that the GPU doesn't go high at all (<10%). Is that normal?

    Depends on the footage, the rendering required (effects used) and most importantly on the system confuration.

     

    If you have the engine of a Lamborghini Aventador (fast CPU/GPU) but coupled with the gearbox of a 30 year old VW Beetle (memory) or a set of wheels from a Fiat 500 (disk) it will not run at full power and speed.

    Harm's right.  There's just too many variables here.  There is no 'average'.
