Sorry, I'm not able to help you here! I have used my integrated Intel GPU for the last few years :)
Rendering on a Raspberry Pi would be cool though. It has a GPU which can probably be utilized. If you are going to run some experiments I would be interested in hearing about how far you get.
I'd like to purchase a new headless Linux box with a 3D accelerator to speed up some Shady renders. I plan to ssh or chrome remote desktop into the machine and have it run (very cooly) in my basement. The workflow would be something like: ssh into the box, run a shell script to render with Shady, come back in a n hour, and finally pick up the mp4s post-render to use them elsewhere.
For a modest budget (best rendering speedup per dollar) on this new machine, could you suggest the ideal...
platform:
linux distro
3d video card:
Graphics Drivers:
...to speed up Shady renders in this kind of headless workflow:
If it is at all possible to just plug an external GPU (eGPU) into a Raspberry Pi 4B to massively speed up a Shady render... this would my preferred hardware platform!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! @polyfloyd
