Hi, is amd card support i s still in development or is it something you give up ? Does vulkan support means amd card support ? or is it just something relative to rtx+vulkan to increase octane speed ?
cheers.
Amd card support

We stopped AMD CUDA development around 3.06.2 (although we yet release AMD OctaneBench 3.06.2 for RNDR node testing). Currently we are porting Octane over to a new framework (RNDR SDK) that cross compiles to Metal/Vulkan/CUDA to support all GPUs on all platforms (even iOS). Octane 2019.2 and later will ship with significant portions of the engine moved to this new framework, but you will still need a CUDA device (even if it is a network slave) to run the other 60% of Octane still in CUDA. At some point we'd like to port all of Octane over to the new framework, but until then, 2019.2+ can start to leverage AMD/Intel/Apple devices to offload some portions of the rendering work. So far, what we have ported from CUDA to the new framework seems to be faster, even on the same NVIDIA GPU (comparing CUDA vs. VK for example).MistAjuliax wrote:Hi, is amd card support i s still in development or is it something you give up ?
