Hi with Octane being no longer developed for Lightwave do the 3080 cards work at all with octane and LW ? I'm looking at upgrading my cards but I still using LW for some work and this would be a great help if anyone could answer ?

The current Octane 2021.1 plugin builds work fine with any of the latest Nvidia GPUs, including of course the 30xx GPUs.

Thanks,

Hi Juanjo !

Do you think Octane 2021.1.5 works well on LW 2015 ? But also with the RTX 3000 ??
And do you have any news on the Free Tier version for 1 GPU ??
Thank you for your fantastic job for LW !

Best regards.

Yes, the plugin should work fine with any LightWave version and the latest Nvidia GPUs, unless LightWave itself had problems with these GPUs.

Sorry, no news about a Free Tier version for 1 GPU.

Thanks,
-Juanjo

Hi Juanjo,

Thanks for your return.

Apparently only LW 2019 has problems with the RTX 3000s, but it's related to the denoiser, which must be replaced with that of LW 2020.
I don't think LW 2015 suffers from the RTX 3000s, but if there are any feedback experience, they are welcome !
Theoretically LW 2015 only uses OpenGL, no CUDA or RTX optimizations, should that do it ?

I hope that Jules will give us news of the Free Tier version !

Nice continuation to you,
Best regards.
