In the architecture design and 3D visualization industry, rendering speed and quality are crucial factors in enhancing productivity. This study aims to compare the performance of GPU and CPU-based rendering software, focusing on three main aspects: render time, visual quality, and resource efficiency. The experiment was conducted using two leading rendering software, Corona (CPU) and Lumion GPU, with identical design objects. The results show that GPU rendering excels in render speed, although it slightly sacrifices quality detail compared to CPU rendering. Additionally, GPU is more efficient in resource usage, with lower energy consumption during longer rendering processes. Based on these findings, it is recommended that design and architecture professionals choose GPU rendering for projects that prioritize speed and time efficiency, while CPU rendering is more suitable for tasks that require higher quality and more complex details. This study provides valuable insights for the creative industry in selecting the most appropriate rendering technology to enhance their design productivity.
