NEW: Octane X - is finally here! [MEGA FAQ THREAD] Tweet

Thanks!

Did you connect both MacBook Pro to power supply during test?

ciao,
Beppe

Yep, Power supply on both (same results whether 'automatic' or 'high power' in system settings).

Standalone 2024.1
M3 Max (Sonoma 14.1)
M4 Max (Sequoia 15.1)

I can't get near 15s with M3 Max (which you have listed), so I'm guessing that was an earlier Standalone version?
Would be great to see M-series results replaced with the latest standalone (if you can collect them).

That said, the M4 Max feels significantly faster than M3 Max in C4D Live Viewer C4D 2024.4.1 / Studio 2024.1-R3).
So I'm pretty happy with this upgrade!

Strange results with your MacBooks :-/

My MacBook Pro M3 Max 40-Core: 15 sec
My Neu MacBook Pro M4 Max 30-Core: 12 sec

Both plugged in or on battery with same results.

Happy Mac GPU rendering!

I'll have to figure out what's going on there then?

Have you installed a macOS beta update?

Over on the Redshift forum the M4 Max is hitting the same benchmark as a laptop 4090. Definitely catching up!

You can find it here:
viewtopic.php?f=85&t=84012

For a correct installation of c4doctane 2024.1 plugin, firstly you need to update your Maxon C4D to a recent build, (R25.117, R26.107, 2023.2, 2024.4, 2025.0.1), or plugin cannot be correctly loaded, please visit your MyMaxon page and download the update.

ciao,

Is there any update for multi gpu (network rendering) for Modo 17 on mac Apple silicon?
I noticed its only prime.. and the network button doesn’t do anything. I was running C4D and had everything setup … but now with Modo .. are we really stuck only in really old version and in prime?
