Are there any specific settings, or version of drivers, or else to make 1080 work in pmc of Octane 2.26? EVGA 1080 FTW failed to render with pmc kernel but works with PT and DL. Same time 580s work fine, just each is about half of 1080 performance.
PS: I got Octane 3.04 Demo, in PMC mode it renders ...

Having enough close acquaintance with these two products (DS and Poser), I would like to warn against wasting money on the appropriate plug-ins. If you intend to go pro, better stick with Blender.

remember it is not just about number of pci express slots....but number of usable lanes

a lot of motherboards will only give you one or 2 lanes running full 16x....

You won't need full 16 lines per video card to render with octane. x4 is the sufficient number of lines, tested, no render speed ...

Have a look at ASUS Z9PE-D8 WS and ASUS P9X79 WS.
