The proprietary V-RAY renderer with its RTX code path only worked going back to the GeForce RTX 2080 but even there was staggering improvements each step of the way.
With the proprietary IndigoBench renderer accelerated by OpenCL it was also fascinating to see the performance of NVIDIA's decade old Maxwell compared to today's Blackwell GPUs.
The NVIDIA GPU performance and power efficiency has evolved a lot over the past decade of these high-end GeForce GPU releases.
Switching from rendering workloads to more GPU compute scenarios, the OpenCL-accelerated FluidX3D CFD software was also another fascinating look at the GPU performance and power efficiency evolution since Maxwell.
