Hi Ricchezza,
Octane team always recommended Studio driver since it was released (originally called creator).

From Nvidia driver download page:
"NVIDIA Studio Drivers provide artists, creators and 3D developers the best performance and reliability when working with creative applications. To achieve the highest level of reliability, Studio Drivers undergo extensive testing against multi-app creator workflows and multiple revisions of the top creative applications from Adobe to Autodesk and beyond.
Applications

Hardware
Adds support for GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER, RTX 2070 SUPER, and RTX 2060 SUPER GPUs
Adds support for G-SYNC compatible monitors

Hello coilbook,
As I told many times, please install Nvidia "studio driver", NOT "Game-ready" version.
431.70 studio driver works fine.

What if people use same computer for work/rendering and gaming (Me don't but I know several Freelancers which do )? Does "studio" drive have gaming FPS upgrades like Gaming drivers do or now-days people must give up one or other (Gaming or Rendering)?

431.70 studio drivers / octane render 4.05-6.20 - confirmed, works perfect, 4 x RTX 2080Ti
But also confirmed Octane on 3x RTX and Call of Duty Black Ops on 1xRTX

Max just close when I try to render animation using Otane 4. You says to install Studio Driver 431.70, this driver see only my 1080 and 1080Ti, and do not see 980TI. But I need it, because it use my 2 monitors. So what driver I need to install?

Hi Ramones163,
are you using windows 7 or windows 10?

Windows 10
As I understand right, Studio Driver is useless to those who have 980 cards.
Need to try older driver, like 417.71

Hi ramones163,
have you tried Nvidia 436.15?
Regards
Paride

[ramone163]

Yes, same unstable. Animation crashes randomly.
I see C4d have the same problem:
viewtopic.php?f=30&t=72235&start=10
"NVidia Driver - 431.70 - stable rendering ( last few days 5000+ frames ) scenes around 5-8mln poly
NVIDIA Driver ( latest ) 436.15 - unstable / crashes randomly ~100-150frames"
But I can't use 431.70, because it doesn't support 980Ti.

For now 417.71 stable for me. No crashes.
