The raytracing and tensor cores on the chip were also improved according to Nvidia. With Turing all shaders could still execute FP32 or INT32 instructions. The GA106 chip offers 3,840 FP32 ALUs of which half can also execute INT32 instructions (i.e. The performance is similar to the older GeForce RTX 2070 and therefore best suited for 1080p gaming of modern and demanding games in high settings. It offers 3,584 cores and supports PCIe 4.0. It is based on the GA106 Ampere chip and offers 12 GB GDDR6 graphics memory with a 192 Bit memory bus. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 is a fast desktop graphics card. An upcoming update will enable Metal rendering for Macs with AMD and Intel graphics.NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 ► remove from comparison
It’s worth noting that Metal GPU rendering only works with Apple Silicon chips right now and it requires a Mac running macOS Monterey 12.2 or later. You can check out all the new features and download Blender 3.1 on its official website. However, this is only part of the story, as Blender 3.1 uses less memory, ray tracing precision has been improved, asset browser libraries are now indexed for faster loading, and the app has received 19 new nodes. As shown on the Blender website, rendering times are up to 2x shorter with Metal GPU rendering compared to standard CPU rendering. Now with the Metal backend, the app not only runs faster thanks to the access it has to the GPU, but also works with the GPU built into the M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max, and M1 Ultra chips.
Since Apple ended support for OpenCL technology in macOS in favor of Metal, Blender has never offered the option to enable GPU rendering on Macs. Blender 3.1 now has Metal GPU rendering for Macs with the M1 chip and its variants.Ī beta version of Blender 3.1 with Metal support was released back in December 2021, and the update is now available to all users. The popular open-source 3D software Blender has just been updated to version 3.1, and the update brings important improvements – especially for Mac users.
