Octane Render Multi-GPU Preview

[SysAdmin86851]

Man, those CUBIX boxes would make one hell of a CUDA cracker! xD

[SysAdmin86851]

Just bought a GTX560 TI to use with Octane Render. Is a QUADRO 4000/5000 worth the cost or will a GTX580 with 3GB do the same job?

[bassistmau]

How painful was this program to code? KUDOS!

[KujoNoTenShi]

Who makes the Music?

[pjwarez]

Cool song! Who does it??

[monimoni0147]

will a single GTX 560 Ti be good enough ?

plz someone tell me, i need to know as soon as possible

thanks

[RalenSanis]

@monimoni0147 Good enough for what? It will still be a lot more faster than CPU ( even 2 x 6 cores Intel ).... But be careful to take a card with a normal/normal+ amount of RAM ( above 1Gb ... )

[BobbyZgangialf]

@RalenSanis . whay above 1 gb? can i render whit a ati 6870?it has 1 gb... what if ill'put on another one of 6870?

[MouthofSaurons]

@BobbyZgangialf Memory does not add up as the same 3D scene has to be loaded into both cards. Besides the application only works on nVidia cards.

[Moullejoker]

Are you kidding me....! wtf is that super powerfull hardware!

[stevenerer]

Hi, I have demo version of octane render, could you tell me please if in full version is possible import objects also with material? I dont want to setup an everything in this software, only render.

[hubman46]

how it faster than single GPU mode? 50%?

[SupaPoopaScoopa]

@hubman46 I can't rememeber the numbers but I know it's alot more than that. between 75-100

[envythisRoadRunner]

this looks like an AWESOME program :D but...before I buy it.... I need a new computer, plus I have to finish studying Blender....an i should probably find a demo if it exists so I know how to use it before I buy it :l...so many decisions

[Bobbiethejean]

GGGLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE *dies* 

[TheCryborg]

wow that is so f***king FAST, is it possible to play games with this technology?

[muffins4tots]

@TheCryborg I honestly hope you're kidding.

[Mrherokillah]

@TheCryborg No, this program is just for rendering images or animations. Hence the name "octane 'render'"

[DocWolph]

@TheCryborg

Obviously, we aren't there yet but clearly that day is coming.

[AstroGnomical]

That is like 6,000,000 times f***ing faster than the normal renderer. XD

[osmodivs]

Does it support animations, photon mapping, caustics?

It looks like a better idea than a render farm. I am talking about the CUBIX, if i render an animation, am I gonna have my PC free to do another set of animation?

render farm vs CUBIX.

Hmmm...

[huntthetux]

I wonder where's the fan sound~~

[neoblood3d]

Show me some caustics and I'll snatch it up from you. xD

[SupaPoopaScoopa]

just used it really impressesd by it on a 9800gtx Can't stand test rendering as it can eat up days, waiting around. So this is great.

Can't believe people on the forums are talking about buying 4 480geforce cards. And they sounds like school kids too. Some people have more money then sense if you ask me. :p tho saying that I'd do it too, just for shits and giggles, if a million squid fell in my lap, .

[crash0510]

@SupaPoopaScoopa

don't judge it before you try it it.. that's just because software is cheaper , all other renderes are priced like at the price of 2 gtx 480 like Arion render (around 800euro - tried it it's crap), and you get the same software as this one, only octane is better.. it is worth getting 4 480gtx cards just for that, it's not like buying 4 way sli so I can test the new game for FPS.. now that's way stupid

[SupaPoopaScoopa]

@crash0510 It obviously depends on your output, if your rendering Starwars then I can see you might need 4x 480gtx,

Octane is superfast on two cards. What are your needs?

Some people just want more more more, with no needs. But like I said, which should have halted and need for a response in the first place. I'd do it too, if money was know object.

[SexJunkle]

It's priced at 49 euro / $60 usd until June 4th!

[alltimegamer247]

duz blender render with cpu or gpu?

[Poler777]

@alltimegamer247 blender renders and works exclusively with the CPU. Octane isn't free like blender, but at 99 euros--$129 or so USD. it's really aggressively priced. I suggest getting the free test version of Octane.

[alltimegamer247]

@Poler777 thenx for the advice 

[Bubbaloo1974]

Nice, but what's with the low tech recording? Capturing what's on your monitor with a camcorder? C'mon, man. Was there a significant drop in performance when capturing a video + Octane rendering?

[BrownSauce50]

@Bubbaloo1974

AFASK, using a camcorder lets you see the speed of octane. If you used something loke camtasia for example, it would slow down render times.

Impresivee

[tobuslieven]

Very nice!

Extreme speed :-D
