Thanks for the tip - I will grab another!

Also, since this will just be used as a slave, is a 40-lane processor necessary?
or could I use the 28-lane i7-6800k?

Hello!

I've decided to build a dedicated Octane Slave with four 1080ti Hybrids in a Thermaltake Core X9 case. I will only be using this for Octane rendering - not as a workstation, and so I am hoping to save component costs as much as possible with that in mind. I also want the ability to expand as ...

Thanks for the insight rappet, this all makes sense. I'm thinking 2 rigs might be the right path here, and these will be just slaves.

And a four hybrid gpu beast is an option too

This Thermaltake Core X9 case looks like a ...

Nice looking build rappet, great work!

If I was using Octane network rendering and the budget was available, would you say it would be more ideal to have 2 rigs similar to the build you made with 3-4x 1080ti's in each, or a ...

Thank you for the links!

Hi there,

I co-run a small studio and we currently have 3 workstation computers. Up to this point we've done all our rendering with dual 980ti's in each of our workstations, or used an online render farm, but we just upgraded to a single 1080ti in each workstation, and we would like to build a ...
