About this tag
Discussions tagged with rendering on WindowsForum.com cover a range of topics relevant to users who rely on continuous or high-performance rendering workflows. A common concern is preventing unwanted Windows restarts during rendering jobs, as automatic updates can interrupt long-running tasks and cause significant productivity loss. Another recurring issue involves VRAM allocation under the Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM), which can reserve a portion of GPU memory and reduce available resources for GPU-based renderers like Octane. Performance comparisons between Windows and Linux on multi-threaded rendering workloads also appear, with benchmarks showing Linux maintaining a lead in multi-threaded tasks on high-end hardware. Additionally, updates to Windows image processing components and system requirements for demanding games like DOOM The Dark Ages are discussed, reflecting the intersection of rendering with system performance and driver management.

    Windows 7 Usage of higher pixel dimensions than monitor

    As the pixel dimensions of the image that is being rendered by a gpu can be different from the ones from a monitor, I wonder if it is possible to set higher values than allowed by the monitor. What I want to achieve is that my gpu renders images at e.g. full hd [1920x1080] even if the monitor's...
