The feature I want most is to be able to move around in a scene with strafing, but mostly being able to move forward physically in a scene without zooming, since zooming and changing position aren't the same thing.

This is what I was looking for:

Octane doesn't use the cpu for much after the scene is loaded, but your nvidia driver will. I think a safe rule of thumb is two cpu cores for each gpu. That way you have lots of overhead for growth and system activity shouldn't choke I/O to the gpus.

The biggest factor is your budget. If you're ...

I've been looking for really simple tutorials or an explanation of camera controls in OctaneSE, but I can't find it anywhere.

Is there a way to move around in a scene without zooming? I've been having to do all this crazy stuff with zooming and panning and rotating where I just wanted to strafe ...

Thank you!

My Matrox G550 should free up more power for Teslas!

This should be an easy one, but I can't find anything in black and white that addresses my question.

I'm wondering if I can use a bunch of cuda-capable cards (in my case, Teslas) and a Matrox card for basic video-out.

Right now, I'm using a Quadro FX 1500 as my output card and I realized after-the ...

AFAIK, this can be done. Mixing quadros and teslas is what Nvidia calls a "Maximus" configuration. Right now, I have a system with a Quadro FX 1500 (which isn't even a CUDA-capable gpu) paired with two Tesla M1060s. The only trick is to find a driver that will support all of your cards. I had to go ...
