Benefits of high end gpu with Tyflow? - Karax - 12-29-2021 Hi! I am about to buy a new computer with a Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti gpu and I’m a bit curious about how much benefit one might get with a pretty powerful graphics card like this in Tyflow? I am pretty new to Tyflow and I read recently in the Tyflow documentation that a couple of solvers have support for GPU acceleration. Does this mean the benefits are pretty limited, or are these solvers used in many situations? RE: Benefits of high end gpu with Tyflow? - tyFlow - 12-29-2021 tyFlow uses your GPU for its bind solver...which covers things like cloth, ropes, tets, etc (these all have a CPU alternative, but its very slow). Also specifically its CUDA Cloth Collision Solver, which only runs on the GPU (and doesn't have a CPU alternative). If you're doing heavy cloth/bind sims, you'll want a fast GPU.

Thanks for the reply! Ok nice, seems like the GPU will be quite useful then ![]() |
