Hi,

so, do you trying to say, that I need about 1.5Gb to render 4000*3000 pixels image in Octane? How it could be that I rendered pictures in same resolution in ...

Hi,

large resolutions are difficult with current GPU's, due to limited video ram.
however, this will soon change as there are already video cards apearing with larger video memory (1.8GB),
and soon 1,5GB and 3GB consumer cards.

We're currently starting with the 99 EURO beta program and we'll see ...
