thanx again rappet for clearing that up for me. I'm on a old Mac Pro and am very limited in choice of cards and need to get flashed anything that nvidia doesn't provide for macs. makes sense to me know thanks for your help!

thank you for reply rappet. i thought vram might be cumulative so i would need two 4gig cards to render anything larger than 2 gigs? I'm ignorant on this subject but would like to get a reasonably fast system going. thanx again rappet

greetings, i have a question concerning cores in the card. would it be better to have roughly a combined 3000 cores in one 4gig 680's and one 2gig 680 or would roughly 1500 cores in one 4 gig 770 be better? I'm on a mac and would have to have them flashed. i think i read octane would use all 3000 of ...

thanx for the replies. the problem is I'm on a Mac Pro 3.1 dual quad. i am getting the 770 modified to fit and flashed. its the fastest i can get under my circumstances. so no choice there but where i do have a choice is the ram 2gigs or 4gigs. will i see any advantage with the 4gig over the 2 gig?

i am in the process of buying a new card. i decided on a nvidia gtx 770 my question is will i see any advantage to getting 4gigs of ram as opposed to the 2gig version? my specs are Mac Pro 3.1 dual 3gig processor 8 cores 2 monitor setup

thank you Rikk The Gaijin

thanx dotcommer, looks good will try them

thanx for replies. Currently im running quadro 4000 for mac. its ok but would like a card with at least 1,000 cores or more for rendering. my system is a macpro dual quad 3.1 and am not seeing any high end nvidea cards for mac. dont mind doing some tinkering. will check MacVidCards. thanx for ...

What would be a very good card for running octane on a mac. my specs are macpro dualquad 3.0 early 2008 3.1. rite now i have a NVIDIA Quadro 4000. thanx

Greetings, im looking for a printable octane user manual and install directions for the stand-alone version of octane. I have looked and used the search in the forums and nothing comes up. Any help. thanx in advance
