Limit vray usage of cores
-
Hello everyone,
I'm using a 4 core CPU. What has been bugging me lateley is the poor responsiveness of SU whilst rendering with vray. maxwell f.ex. has the option to limit the cores it uses.i didnt find an option like that in vray, but maybe there's a workaround?
edit: vray thread priority is already on lowest, doesn't do enough.
-
No such option.

I don't use V-Ray, however once your render starts you should be able to change the affinity of the V-Ray thread in the task manager.
Press CTRL+Shift+ESC to bring up the task manager.
Right click on the task and select "Set Affinity" then de-select some of the CPU cores. -

Right click on the task and select "Set Affinity" then de-select some of the CPU cores.the problem is that vray doesn't use a seperate thread. it seems to run inside the SU thread. so limiting the cores via affinity limits SU cores as well

SU uses only 1 core at any time - so that should not be an issue.

i meant that SU and the vray renderer use the same thread ID. so the windows method of limiting cores won't do anything, if i want more perfomance for modeling in SU while rendering.
f.ex: i set max cores to 3 of 4 for the SU cpu thread -> vray uses all 3 cores, SU can't use any.
