GPU Utilization in Corona Renderer

Corona Renderer is designed as a CPU-based rendering engine, focusing on leveraging the full potential of your processor for rendering tasks. This approach ensures compatibility and stability across various hardware configurations. However, certain features can utilize the GPU:

• NVIDIA AI Denoiser: From Corona 12 Update 1, the NVIDIA AI Denoiser is available, requiring an NVIDIA GPU. Ensure you have the latest drivers from nvidia.com for optimal performance.

• AI Upscaling: This feature also requires an NVIDIA GPU and automatically enables the NVIDIA AI Denoiser. Updating your GPU drivers is recommended to utilize this functionality effectively.

For general rendering tasks, Corona relies on the CPU. Investing in a powerful processor will yield the most significant performance improvements.

Top Tips to Speed Up Corona Renderer

• Upgrade Your CPU: Since Corona is CPU-based, a more powerful processor directly enhances rendering speed. Compare CPU performance using benchmarks like the Corona Benchmark to make informed decisions.

• Increase RAM: Rendering complex scenes can be memory-intensive. Upgrading to 32 GB or more RAM helps handle larger projects without performance bottlenecks.

• Optimize Scene Complexity: Simplify models and reduce polygon counts where possible to decrease rendering times.

• Use Efficient Materials and Lighting: Employ optimized materials and lighting setups to minimize render calculations.

• Leverage AI Denoising: Utilize the NVIDIA AI Denoiser for faster noise reduction, keeping your GPU drivers up to date for best results.

Implementing these strategies can help maintain smooth and reliable performance in Corona Renderer.
