Does this mean we can buy a PowerVR PCIe card, shove it in our machines, download Octane 4 (when it's done) and render 10x faster than we can now with a standard GPU?

If that's what this means, then shut up and take my money,

The ASIC was intended for mobile devices (~2 Watts), but the ...

have You ever had any issues runnning cards fro mdifferent architecture? no..
Erm, yes actually. Performance degredation from Fermi to Kepler was HUGE.


sometimes I ask myself after post like this: are You joking, or are You so short-seeing?

how come 680 has anything to do with performance ...

What are you basing the 160 score on?.. If it does indeed just yield a 160 OctaneBench score, I will probably not be crying in my beer after all, for recently dropping almost $1400 on my 980Ti Hybrids... I was under the impression that it would be way higher, based on hype.

It has supposedly 9 ...

I think it's a perfectly reasonable question from Fryderyk and the fact that Otoy often seem kind of nonchalant and tight lipped about new ...

First, let me say that I do agree with You here as gf110 was great chip.

Looks, noise, power usage etc..- look from the perspective of gamer =) nvidia has separate line of "pro" cards, that they don't refresh so often (don't have so much models) have even higher amount of vRAM, ECC, etc..

Now You ...

so.. where does that leave us? it's much more than performance..-there are code optimisations, suppport for new technologies, efficiency, noise, looks etc

well, code optimisations and support for new technologies are irrelevant, as long as they dont reflect on performance (increase), which they ...

Thanks for your responses.

I disagree with the notion i should compare with either 2 980Ti cards or another dual card for this to be a fair comparison. I may do it - when TItan Z drops to 600 EUROs, the same price the 590 was back then... or some gtx990 at that price will be released....which is ...

Hi there,

i just found out about existence of the OctaneBench, was not really paying attention to Octane since i upgraded to the v2 version...
Anyway i have been thinking a bit about getting the 980Ti, so i wonder how does it perform - i saw on the OctaneBench result page it got score 126....like ...

I love the random color texture addition in 2.0 - a small thing that makes life so much easier.

Pretty pic! Are the balloons pure glossy, or is there some SSS involved? Or transmission? Material please!

You will need to get CSV data from your modeling tool, or use something else (Phantom Scatter). In Octane, load up the CSV data to a Scatter node (which would be placed between your Mesh and your Geometry node (to combine models into a single scene)).

Thank you! I checked your website, it looks ...
