Thank you mib, I appreciate your help.
Here is another test, took me a while to model and get the correct light mood.
Hope you like it.

I mainly used this machine for rendering animations so I focused on the number of cores/threads instead of the gpu, that's before I know about octane.
here's something to think a bit =)

"Quadro K4000 -
MSample/Sec = 3.95
Render ETA = 34min 24sec

Titan -
MSample/Sec = 16.38
Render ETA = 7min 30sec"

Quadro k4000 is in a range of 650/660 in terms of rendering performance in Octane.

Titan is out of production, but You can find TitanBlack that is bit faster (think ~15% than original Titan,if I remember good =) costs around 1000$ (or about 700-800$ if You buy used=) for that amount of money, You'll get render times cut to 1/4th =)

TitanZ is Dual GU card that glues two Titans under a single hood =) the cards is said to be 12GB, but it actually has 2x6GB, so Octane sees it (or them, 2cards) as 6Gb. The good thing is that it has triple slot cooler design saving You a bit of space =) price wise, after recent price cuts, getting TitanZ makes more sense, as it offers slightly better value compared to Black. Though, ..

if You don't need much of vRAM, You can get 780/780Ti that are similar performance just have half of available vRam (3gb "Only")

in Your case there's a place for additional card:

considering You don't have too much space for expansion I'd go for TitanZ =) that should a be a ~ 8x boost.
It's hard to tell how much power (PSU) have, so I'd write a line to Dell & ask them exactly to be sure =)
I have a feeling that TitanBlack could be powered easily & even Z..
I would be surprised if dell would put too weak power brick..
but it's worth to ask before making a move!


Hope that helps =)

Thank you glimpse for the detailed information, it's really really appreciated.

I will do some research and inquiries and see if I can add other gpu in my current setup without any problem.
