no, I actually put new hardware in. my old rig was almost 4 years old.
I had 2 GTX285's on SLI but that didn't work. Now I have 2 GTX770's instead.
Luckiliy it was a planned upgrade.

cheers!

msciwiarski, I meant you have different OctaneLive login and passes for Standalone and Blender for Octane.
We have to wait for the Otoy guys.

Cheers, mib.

It is very sad for me because I didn't plan to change the graphic card.

It depends on how old is it. It should support at least cuda 2.0 to work with last Octane SDK's...

As we can find at the CUDA web site https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus my GTX580 supports Compute Capability 2.0
