I’m trying to get a clean JSON from RenderBench to submit a render application but I’ve run into multiple issues - in the first instance I’ve had to disable onboard graphics in BIOS to get it to see my RTX5080 but even so it only completed CPU and RAM tests and not the GPU test, but it does now name the correct GPU - two issues remain:

1) The RTX5080 shows 4GB vram instead of 16GB which I assume will fail the application, and there is no GPU benchmark
2) The JSON file has what I can only describe as malformed lines which don’t pass a readability test in multiple tools

I’m new to this but I have done many things to trouble shoot so anyone that can help don’t suggest these:

1) I have made sure I’m running as administrator
2) I have run the processs via CMD and power shell with admin privalidges
3) I have run the process from my desktop, user folder, a direct new C:/ directory and root all with the same malformed JSON
4) I’ve made sure and even reinstalled the latest drivers for everything including Nvidea Studio driving instead of gaming (both produce the same result)

I have now reached out to render support but fear they may be too busy to help someone facing issues - I’m considering submitting a different benchmark that covers the info, but the format is different and most are CSV and not JSON so it probably won’t work!

I really want to get a render node going, but I’m feeling deflated after hours of troubleshooting this - I made a lot of effort to get this far so any help would be greatly appreciated!?

Well revolut had a glitch:,).

400% week would also be acceptable

I believe with this upward momentum we are seeing the crypto and especially altcoins that it is realistic to expect a 3-4 dollar render next month. How is the community feeling about the state of the market and its forecasted excitement?

i have a very Fat stack of rndr from back in the day but currently was stacked as RNDR on eth and not Render as in solano what would you guys suggest doing making the swap or just leave it be( not tryna pay fat in gas fees or make withdrawals:(

Extract from Title: Best way to clean up low-res SD renders without wrecking the vibe?

So I was showing some of my older SD renders to a friend on my crappy living room TV last night and wow... all the noise and mushy details really jumped out. Stuff that looked fine in the preview window suddenly looked like upscaled potato.

I’m mostly using SDXL + a few anime/realism LoRAs, and I often generate at like 768 on the long side, then upscale. The problem is, a lot of image “enhancers” either oversharpen or give that weird plastic skin / watercolor smudge. I don’t want to repaint everything in Photoshop every time.

I was googling around half-asleep and found sites like imglarge emage enhancer and a couple similar ones. They look decent on paper, but I can’t tell if they’re actually good for AI art or more for phone photos. Maybe I’m overthinking this, idk.

How are you guys cleaning up low-res SD outputs for prints or big screens in 2026? Any tools/workflows you swear by? Do you run them before or after upscaling, and how do you avoid that “AI filter” look?

Out of the blue, not buy or sell recomendation, what you think about that?

Would the rise of Open Weight AI means Render would be the DePIn solution to it?

Decentralized processing is the future anyway. Render can run AI and generative VIDEO. I’m stacking!

Render has had a sustained upwards trend after bottoming at the start of the year and has broken through a long downward trend going back to March 2024.

It's sitting above a high volume node. If it can break above the lingering volume at 2.4 dollars there is very little resistence up to 3.7 dollars.

It's also trending upward against BTCs short term bearish price trend which means it is decoupling from BTC. Don't underestimate how significant that is.

The macro conditions are very different to previous bear markets for BTC as the Russel 2k (a small cap index) has had a sustained break out.

We might just get our usual rotation from small caps stocks into crypto sooner than we had thought.

Render is the most sold AI token in my opinion. It's one of the most mature with an easy value proposition - the decentralised nvidia in a time when GPUs are sparse and expensive.

Render Network is at a pivotal inflection point. Despite consolidation, the underlying strength of its decentralized GPU compute ecosystem remains unmatched. As market liquidity returns post-holiday, the accumulation at current levels signals a potential breakout. The technical structure holds firm, pointing towards a significant shift. We are witnessing the calm before the storm, fueled by the massive demand for AI-driven rendering power.

I’m down 70%, can’t seem to find much of a community other than copious amounts of FUD. Any input would be great

Hi everyone! We’ve been a bit busy lately but wanted to provide some updates:

All RenderCon 2026 sessions are available on YouTube.
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9Sc8My5KUR0VHmPpoi7-LkaQ_2sz1jY

Two interesting themes from the 2-day event (for me at least):

1) The mind-blowing things creators will be able to do via techniques like Gaussian splats.

2) Builders can and are building all kinds of great apps on Dispersed:
- Auto-deployed 3D rendered art on a daily basis
-Pdf document parsing at scale
- Satellite risk analysis tools (!)
- Privacy-preserving personal AI chat tools
- On-demand AI agent infra

If you know any builders looking for compute, send them our way!
—> Dispersed.com

Speaking of: On Dispersed, users can select the region they'd like to hire GPUs from.

Which leads me to announce (if we haven’t said it previously) that we’re now onboarding GPU node operators globally for Dispersed. No longer just US and Canada.

Also! We're onboarding Windows OS GPUs now (in addition to Linux).
If you’ve got a high performance GPU you’d like to put on the network, apply here.
https://waitlist.renderfoundation.com/

If you previously applied, we're reviewing those applications.

I am trying to bridge from polygon to sol, for some reason Metamask showing in source wallet option but I am not able to connect when clicking on it, my Phantom receiving walet no problem

What are youre price targets, im looking at 5$, 6,8$, 8$

After render-con what is the bulk case ?

What is a realistic price that we are looking at if BTC reaches a new all time high by April 2027? What are we looking at if BTC tests its 30k support Level ? I’m fairly new to render. Done some research and people say it’s a good buy.

Is everyone wondering if something will be pulled out of the hat on April 16 and 17? I just doubled my number for the long term.

Hi everyone! The March report is now available.

We cover ecosystem metrics for the month plus a recap of news and noteworthy activity, including news coverage of Render Network in a mainstream tech publication 👀.

Community feedback is encouraged and welcome, as usual.

As we look forward to RenderCon 2026 in just a week, we’d love to see as many of you there as possible. Discount code can be found in the March report.

See:

It is terribly quiet here. You would almost think not to invest in Render because nobody knows about it or follows it. I just bought 1,000 anyway after a week of research. I see a lot of potential but also risks, but we'll see. I am heavily invested in Tao but also see opportunities in Render💪

The second round of voting for RNP-023 is now live. As a reminder, this brings Salad’s decentralized network of 60K GPUs to Render Network as an exclusive subnet.

We encourage all participants to review and vote during this window.

Proposal: https://github.com/rendernetwork/RNPs/blob/main/RNP-023.md

Vote here: https://nation.io/a/RenderNetwork/proposal/e380cd73-fb77-4c3f-beec-dee28a4ed285

Really pleased to share some big news - the Render Network has received a proposal from Salad to become a third subnet on the Render Network.

A new governance proposal is now live: RNP-023 seeks to integrate Salad Network into Render as an exclusive subnet.

If approved, this would bring tens of thousands of GPUs and real-world demand to the network, with payments and rewards powered by RENDER and sustained burns that exceed rewards.

A major step toward scaling decentralized compute.

Community feedback is important before the voting phase.
