reasoning: NK-materials provided an exavt way to create materials. Where eg. gold actually looks exactly like gold.

Can we create good gold materials right now? Hell, yes.

Still NK-materials offer an increased amount of complexity and realism, by then adding eg. to realistic dispersion ...

and is 780 faster for Octane than 580 and whats the diffrent?

speed: 780 is about 30% faster than 580. Details here: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-780-performance-review,3516-26.html

difference: usually GTX 780 goes with 3GB and has more max textures

price: GTX 780 here is ...

a. Difference: there is a difference in those manufacturers. As a rule of thumb (for me) its always Palit since their cards are reliably overclocked by default with a low noise vent.
b. 580 is faster for octane than 680
c. RAM needed really depends on polys and texture images. Even simple interiors ...

Thank you a lot.

Seems in this scene as if PT is the best shot, since at later times during render only the "problematic paths" are rendered.

Holla,

read the manual about "Direct Light Importance" in PMC. Yet question(s) came up.

Direct Light Importance influences the sampling of Direct Light.
a. Is light refracted while travelling eg. through glass still direct light?
b. Is light reflected by glass on its surface still direct light ...

Holla,

any chance you introduce NK-materials?

TIA

Hi Heretic,

At the moment a 680 will only perform about 60-70% as well as a 580.

Cheers
Chris.

Cheers and thank you a lot. I read that part abotu performance, yet the first mention was from like May this year.

Actually then am unsure on Octane and how to proceed...

1. Does the kepler version ...

Kepler cards are out for some time now. A demo version would be kinda cool by now?

How is the current state in regards to performance on Kepler cards?
