# Speed Factor of GPU Variants

Boost for Daz features a curated range of GPU based on cost and speed.  The GPU speed is calculated using a metric called Iteration Rate, which is essentially the number of iterations the GPU can do per second.  

In the table below, you can find the Speed Factor (the multiple) of a particular variant compared to the base (single) GPU in that family.  For example, using the table below you'll see that the speed of a A6000x3 is 2.7 times faster than the speed of a single A6000. 

These calculations use the [RayDant Benchmark file](https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/341041/daz-studio-iray-rendering-hardware-benchmarking/p1#Section%205.2) (available on Daz forums) and are taken at 1800 iterations and convergence set to 95%.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.boostfordaz.com/extras/speed-factor-of-gpu-variants.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
