Blender GPU network render

Deadline
1

hi,

can anyone here confirm that, i cannot cycle render using GPU on my small farm.
been trying change the blender preference into CUDA with my GTX /RTX card, but once it submitted into deadline it keep using my CPU instead of my GPU (checked on task manager) .

anyone here know how to force submitted scene to use GPU?

tech spec blender 2.83, farm using GTX 1060, and some RTX 2070

I hit similar issue with older (2.71) builds of Blender that it’d default to CPU as Cycles compute device type.

May be an idea to explore how to set a default preference on the render nodes to use GPU and save as default on them to see if that makes any odds. (I didn’t get chance to explore this myself will admit)

Cheers

Jamie
