Nope. No update of the toolkit was released yet and the current 6.0 RC toolkit is not producing usable Maxwell binaries.

Then I tried in 9000x9000 : the memory amount display shows 1917.3/2882 available, so plenty of memory still available, but the render screen becomes grey and there is nothing to see. The render seems still active : the number of samples increases, but nothing is displayed. After some clicks the cursor shows busy circle and I have no more control on Octane and have to kill it with Windows task manager.
You need to switch to the software viewport (in the application preferences), since OpenGL can't always deal with those big images.
I reported it in 1.3x - Marcus, is it possible to turn on the 'software' option automatically to avoid this issue?

@smicha : not sure that it is a good idea. I would prefer a warning popup window , because I fear that software display would take ressources. Could it be a problem on a non evolutionary machine with few RAM ?

Thank you for the great update!

I'm having trouble with a big alembic file, (a fluid sim), causing Octane 1.51 to crash. It does not crash in 1.33 however. Has something to do with jumping around in the timeline as far as I can tell..

Anybody experiencing the same thing?

It didn't happened yet here, but (it is just an idea) for big scene it could be better to increment frame by frame. I fear that when scrolling Octane try to load to much geometry at a time (1 mesh per frame).

thank you for you for your input ROUBAL. I think you are right when it comes to HUUUUGE meshes. This one is "only" 7 gigs and loads pretty fast. It also works in previous versions. (1.33) so I was hoping it could work in 1.51 as well...

But I think an option to load alembic sequences would be a great addition to the alembic reader. (it cannot do that now, right?)
