What is Blender on a GPU VPS?

Blender's Cycles renderer supports CUDA GPU rendering. A GPU server lets you render scenes and animations remotely without tying up your own computer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Blender on a GPU VPS?

+

Blender can use an NVIDIA GPU to speed up its work. VPS.org GPU servers are not available to order yet; contact us to hear when they are. Blender is a general GPU-accelerated workload. Make sure your software has CUDA support and that your driver / runtime versions match the workload requirements for Blender.

How do I set up Blender on a GPU VPS?

+

GPU servers are not available to order yet. Today you can run Blender on a regular CPU plan, where it works far more slowly than on a GPU: SSH in and run snap install blender --classic && blender -b scene.blend -E CYCLES -o //output -f 1 -- --cycles-device CUDA.

How much VRAM do I need for Blender?

+

VRAM needs for Blender depend on the model and batch size; check the project documentation for current figures.

How much would a GPU server for Blender cost?

+

GPU pricing will be published when GPU servers can be ordered. Contact us if you want to hear when that happens.

Can I run other tools alongside Blender?

+

Yes. Every VPS.org server comes with full root access, so you can run other tools alongside Blender within the server's RAM and storage.

Do I get full root on the Blender GPU VPS?

+

Every VPS.org server comes with full root SSH access, so you can install drivers, libraries and Blender however you need.

Does VPS.org preinstall CUDA for Blender?

+

No. No server comes with a CUDA runtime or NVIDIA driver preinstalled, and GPU servers are not available to order yet. You install the versions Blender needs yourself.

Does my Blender GPU VPS persist between sessions?

+

Yes. VPS.org servers are persistent virtual machines, not ephemeral instances: Blender models, configs and data stay on the server's SSD storage until you delete them.

Where should I store data for my Blender workload?

+

Keep working data on the server's SSD for fast access during Blender runs, and copy finished artifacts (weights, generations, embeddings) to storage outside VPS.org; snapshots and backups stay on the same storage cluster.

Can I scale my Blender GPU VPS later?

+

You can upgrade any VPS.org server to a larger plan from the control panel; the resize restarts it and your Blender install carries over. GPU servers are not available yet.

Are backups available for my GPU VPS?

+

Yes. Backups are a paid add-on (daily +30% of the plan price, kept 7 days; weekly +20%, kept 28 days) and snapshots are free, which is useful before long Blender runs. Both stay on the same storage cluster as the server.

Can I get a refund?

+

Contact support within 30 days of your first purchase to request a refund. GPU servers are not sold yet, so no GPU order is involved.
