Well, the new ADM cards are out and those perform almost as much as hd6990 dual core in a single core. Nvidia next generation cards unfoutunately not really a step forward in terms of rendering speed. Also HD7970 will be released in a 6gb edition by sapphire soon.
I am plannig a new render workstation based on 4 of these sapphire cards and I would like to kow if octane will be using OPENCL or not within 2-4 months. Can somebody from the staff answer to this?
OPENCL was always suitable,I dont understand why you guys saying this. Its pretty suitable to use for rendering engines. The proof is VrayRT, SLG (smallluxgpu), luxrender, indigo, etc and countless simple renderers.
