You could try under-clocking your GPU with something like MSI afterburner or something, or making sure your GPU Fan and heatsink is dust free and there is good airflow through your case and enough space in front of the GPU's fan.
Running some GPU monitoring software should let you see the GPU's ...

Hi,

1) This depends on how you have the scene/options setup. Take a look at this manual page: http://render.otoy.com/manuals/Maya_2_0/?page_id=364

2) Be careful with triangle vs poly. Octane has a limit of around 19Million triangles, so about 10mil polygons. Geometry, render target and textures ...

Yes, the 2.x licenses are backwards compatible with any version of octane, and the release posts are never removed from the forum.
So current licenses will work with this version: http://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=37853

Hi,

Thanks for the video you have sent through to the support mailbox.

Usually we only support the latest and two releases ...

Not a problem.

In a nutshell you run the octane_slave.exe on machines with GPU's that you want to use, then in ...

You may find that compiling the scene and sending it to the GPU (and any network transfers if your using network rendering) will take longer than 5s so you may also end up limited by CPU and network speed.

Each octane session will only allow you to use a maximum of 12GPU's so to use all 14, you ...

What is your maxsamples set to in the kernel settings?
Maybe it's set low and the rendering is actually finishing.

Disabling firewall was one of the first things to do so this option is checked.

In the update it says the it can't connect to the server.

Since C4D cannot connect to it's update servers this definitely means it's not an octane problem.
Something is stopping C4D from connecting to the internet ...

By curiosity I went back to version V14 to check if I can activate the plugin. This is the error messages I got.

Thanks for these - this is exactly what I would expect if something like a firewall is blocking C4D from accessing ...
