Good Afternoon,
I recently upgraded my pc and acquired Redshift for C4D R20. I am brand new to using GPU rendering and I am trying to optimize everything. I have 2 questions.
1. When I render an image sequence using the queue, I noticed that my GPU isn't being used very much at all during the render. When I am viewing the task manager, the CPU seems to be the most active around 90% while the GPU is at about 1%. Now I didn't notice much of a difference in render time compared to how quickly a frame is rendered using the Redshift Renderview, but I want to make sure I am doing this correctly. I have everything set up in the Render settings to use Redshift and I am using Redshift materials and AOV's as well and the render comes out just fine. I am just wondering why the CPU is predominantly being used since Redshift is supposed to be using GPU. Am I missing something? Should I be batch rendering through the Renderview somehow in order to take advantage of the GPU?
2. When using the Redshift Renderview (IPR) I notice that my integrated GPU is predominantly being used rather than my dedicated GPU. I would like to take advantage of my NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070, but it seems like the integrated graphics card is being used to render most of the time. Is there a way to get Redshift to focus more on the card I want? Does this have more to do with C4D's settings? I've thought about disabling the Integrated card at certain times. Would I be able to enable it again easily if I do this? I like to use multiple monitors so I would prefer to keep both cards running but just make sure Redshift is taking advantage of my GPU.
Thanks for your help and patience.
