GTC 2020 D2S38 Presenters: Tech Demo Team,NVIDIA Abstract
During the GTC 2020 virtual keynote, NVIDIA CEO and founder Jensen Huang showcased a piece created by NVIDIA to illustrate the power of #RTX on the Omniverse Platform. Marbles was created by a distributed team of artists and engineers in Omniverse, assembling VFX+ quality assets into a fully physically simulated game level. There was no sacrifice to quality and fidelity that typically results from “gamifying” art assets to run in real-time. Marbles runs on a single Quadro RTX 8000 simulating complex physics in a real-time ray traced world.
2021-05-07 00:21:50 [708ms] [Warning] [gpu.foundation.plugin] Skipping GPU NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER with 8031 MB of GPU memory. Requested min 11000 of GPU memory
Looks like the docs are wrong as it says marbles demo will work with any RTX card but it seems to have a min memory requirement of 11GB.
you should find renderer.minGpuMemoryMB = 11000 on line 37
Lowering the minimum should allow the application to run on something like a RTX 3080 or 3070, but I can’t guarantee that you would get at least reasonable performance, nor can I test it for you because I only have a RTX 3090.
Yes updating that kit file worked! Thanks Dusty! It runs dog slow on my RTX 2060 Super though. That extra 3GB of memory must really help. Konrad, you can download the marbles demo by installing NVIDIA Omniverse and installing the Marbles RTX app.
if windows: right click, ‘open with’ and select notepad. once edited, save, exit and try run marbles again. Worked for me after changing value to 10000 for my 3080 so thanks to the author. Beautiful tech; to think that quality will be mainstream in years to come, wow
on a RTX2080 setting it to 720p it kind of runs but is no where near 60FPS wondering why there are no dynamic lights considering its a raytracing demo. Isn’t that the whole point??? Setting the ball on fire has the effect of adding a light but its not raytracing the fire. Is this just me? Any how Impressive demo maybe If I had a 3080 it would run as intended.
tried today but i loads only to the instructions screen but pressing any button doesnt doo anyhthing it just stays ther in the instructions screen forever
