Re: Which pc/workstation for Octane?

I don't use 4K because I can't see what I'm doing, everything is just too smal.

I start with a single monitor setup.
And as soon as it is possible, because I;m rebuilding my house ...

Re: Which pc/workstation for Octane?

I heard some nasty stories about the GTX 780 when making architectural visuals.
It seems that the 780 creates artifacts, or wrong pixels every 1000 pixels.
And when making a 3000x2000 render, there are lots af artifacts.

The Titan Black doesn't do this.

But I didn't tested this myself...

Re: Which pc/workstation for Octane?

Ah ok,

Thought the Titan Black was the fastest to get at this moment.

My scenes are not bigger than 6GB...
I will look for the 780's as well.

Thanks!

Re: Which pc/workstation for Octane?

I was told the i7 is much faster in single core tasks like modeling an drawing in Vectorworks and Revit.
That's what I do a lot.

I want to change my workflow and do more 3D architectural renders.

If I choose a 3DBOXX 4920 Extreme GPU I have a fast (not the fastest) i7 6-core chip and the ...

Re: Which videocard in new workstation?

I found the 3DBOXX 4920 Extreme GPU workstation with 3rd generation Intel® Core™i7 Extreme 6 cores.
I'm not sure if this is the fastest i7 chip available...

I use Vectorworks, Revit, Sketchup, Vray and Cinema4D.
VrayforC4D is not Vray RT yet, I'm still waiting for it.
But when it's there, I want to ...

Re: Which videocard in new workstation?

I'm afraid that I'll buy a new workstation that still isn't fast enough for rendering when choosing for a Intel® Core™i7 Extreme 3rd Generation 4,5Ghz with 6 cores...

I've been working on a 2009 Imac Intel Core Duo II 3,06gHz.
And it's soooo slow and it irritates me the whole day....

And yes, the ...

Which videocard in new workstation?

Hello,

I'm at the point of buying a new pc workstation with Dual Intel Xeon E5-2650 8 Core processors, Nvidia Quadro K4000 3GB video card, 64GB Memory and 240GB SSD Disk.

Think that this will work great with Octane/Vray, I hate my current 2009 Imac, it's to slow...

But, my question...
Is the ...

Re: Which pc/workstation for Octane?

I have a Boxx 4920 Xtreme machine and it uses NVidia Quadro workstation and Tesla cards. While it's well suited for workstation-specific needs with CAD, analysis and simulations, it is slow at GPU unbiased rendering! Really slow compared to the gaming and GeForce cards specifically. So as much as I ...
