Is RTX 4090 overkill?

I had bought the latest 4090 recently, I do not think synfig rendering is that intensive, but I actually want to ask if you had any projects in the past that required the power of 4090.

I definitely did not buy it for synfig, I was just completing my collection of from the 2080 ti, 3090,and finally 4090 (titan too), and also for Autodesk maya, and blender.

I highly even doubt if 3090 is not overkill, it still looks too much for synfig.

Any information about technical stuff is welcome.

I am not even sure if Synfig uses GPU to render it’s output, maybe everything is done with CPU only.

Clearly overkill :wink:
There are only a few references to opencl in the code (and it must be compiled with).
I may be wrong, but Synfig does not benefit of hardware acceleration (CPU power only).
Rendering is done on a surface that is pushed through ffmpeg image-by-image mostly.

:crossed_fingers: Hope one day synfig will be hardware accelerated.

Surely would love to see hardware acceleration. Infact, I would love to see synfig collaborating with a CAD software, which would open the way for crazy 3d and 2d stuff together.
