3D Max GPU rendering with nVidia Mental Ray

Hi! On work, we are trying to make a video in 3D Max with nVidia mental ray. We want to improve production times and we investigate about the renderings on 3D Max. Most of them uses CPU by default and we wanted to use GPU.

I see this page: mental ray’s GPU accelerated GI engine prototype – Inside mental ray but we are not noticing any performance improvement. We are using GTX 970 for testing it and we are not using Global illumination. Its about 11 minutes to take the render.

I saw many videos of GPU rendering but most of them uses IRay and Quadro tecnologies. I wonder if its necessary a Quadro GPU to notices the improvement or may be the IRay is the key.

I am very noob in this terms.
Thank you
