High-Speed KeyShot Cloud Rendering

KeyShot is widely recognized as one of the premier 3D rendering and animation solutions for creating photorealistic product visuals. Featuring advanced real-time ray-tracing, global illumination, and powerful CPU & GPU rendering capabilities, KeyShot enables designers to display results instantly and drastically speed up their production workflows.

Favored by industrial designers, 3D artists, and top brands worldwide, KeyShot offers an intuitive drag-and-drop interface complete with material and environment presets, interactive labeling, and physical lighting. Furthermore, with native support for over 30 leading 3D file formats, it seamlessly integrates with your favorite CAD applications to keep design iterations perfectly in sync.

As we know, KeyShot can process jobs in both CPU and GPU mode. (See more for the system requirements).

Keyshot can support GPU rendering from Keyshot 9 and above and has become popular in recent years due to advances in GPU technology and the advent of high-performance graphics cards. GPUs excel at parallel processing, making them ideal for tasks that require large amounts of data to be processed simultaneously.

When using GPU rendering, the main factors that affect performance are the graphics card specifications, such as the number of CUDA cores, clock speed, and memory bandwidth. GPUs with a higher number of CUDA cores, higher clock speeds, and wider memory buses can provide better rendering performance.

In general, we can see that RTX4090 specification is so attractive and could outperform older Ampere architecture graphics cards such as RTX3090. However, is it really faster in rendering? We would look into some benchmark tests to have an answer.

Undoubtedly, RTX4090 is the fastest. TechGage team has tested on two scenes, and RTX4090 is 2 or 1.5 times faster than RTX3090.

In the first scene it rendered a character. While RTX3090 takes 106 seconds to render, RTX4090 only takes half of the time and finishes in 53 seconds.

The second scene is Circuit board and this time RTX4090 takes 40 seconds to render. It’s about 1.5 times faster than RTX3090.

RTX4090 is a phenomenally powerful GPU. Depending on your project’s render settings, the speed could vary and sometimes it could deliver a double performance. 

From the testing it’s undoubtedly RTX4090 is one of the best choices for Keyshot rendering, because of its power and high amount of CUDA cores and RT cores. But you can find a render farm for it, not necessarily buy one. 

If your local machine is struggling with heavy KeyShot projects—and you aren’t ready to invest a fortune in an expensive new workstation—offloading your render workload to a cloud render farm is the smartest decision. As a leading cloud GPU provider, iRender offers full support for both KeyShot CPU and GPU rendering. We deliver instant access to enterprise-grade server infrastructure, allowing you to render significantly faster and more efficiently without expensive hardware upgrades.

All of our dedicated servers are equipped with:

• • • • AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ PRO 3955WX (3.9-4.2GHz) or
      • AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ PRO 5975WX (3.6-4.5GHz)
      • (1/2/4x) – RTX 4090
      • 256GB RAM 
      • 2TB NVMe SSDs

When you rent an iRender server, you get 100% administrative access to a dedicated remote workstation. You are free to install your own software licenses, set up custom pipelines, configure plugins, and tweak settings exactly the way you prefer. Your environment remains completely private, secure, and personalized to your unique workflow.

Our RTX 4090 cloud server starts at $8.2/hour, making it a good choice for short projects, testing, or one-time rendering jobs. Besides, iRender offers budget-friendly rental options:

• Fixed Rental Savings: Save 10% instantly when renting a server for 3 hours or more compared to standard pay-as-you-go hourly rates.

• Ideal for Heavy Workloads: Perfect for professional artists and studios running continuous, long-term rendering jobs without the risk of accumulating unexpected hourly charges.

To streamline your workflow, iRender offers a powerful, proprietary file transfer tool iRender GPU app. Designed for high-speed transmission and heavy data loads, it allows you to upload all your project assets, textures, and files at any time without needing to boot up or connect to your paid cloud server.

Once uploaded, your data is automatically synchronized directly to the Z drive inside your remote workstation, fully prepared and accessible as soon as you start your rendering session.

If you have any problems, our support team is ready to help. We don’t rely only on automatic replies, you can talk to a real person who understands cloud rendering.

Whether you need help choosing a server, connecting to the cloud, moving your project files, or fixing a technical issue, our team will guide you step by step. We always try to reply quickly so you can get back to work as soon as possible.

Rendering with iRender is an effortless experience built around 5 steps:

1. Register an iRender account.

2. Recharge money.

3. Upload project files to the cloud.

4. Choose your server package and connect.

5. Take 100% full administrative control of your private remote workstation.

As one of the few render farms with a dedicated transfer app, iRender GPU app allows seamless file synchronization without third-party tools. You can upload files anytime even while the remote server is turned off.

How to install iRender GPU App:

1. Download and install the desktop app onto your local computer.

2. Launch the app and log in using your iRender account.
