Benchmark related questions

[Zee]

I've been playing with Octane for the last few days and I'm truly amazed by it.

My current system has 2 Nvidia cards, a 570 and a 780ti. after browsing the forum some time, I've downloaded the demo benchmark scene and ran it in the latest standalone.

780 ti (only) gives around 34M/s, and when both cards are activated its around 54M/s. First of all, is these values good?

Secondly, I'm also using Cinema4D and checking the numbers ther as well I've never seen a higher number than 20M/s, which was a very simple scene with a single cube and a single area light. I've set the priorities to high so I'm not sure what's wrong there - if there is a c4d (r16) based benchmark I would love to try it out and share with my results. If not, and if they have to be close to the standalone, then what do you think my problem may be?

And thirdly I'm wanting to buy another GPU, and I cant decide bwtween Gtx 780 AMP! edition and GTX 970 (regular) - they're both the same price in where I live.

Any recommendations/suggestions about anything above is appreciated

After checking the benchmark topic here is my results with the single 780ti on the standalone. By looking at the temps on the thread, mine looks way off O_O

simply make sure Your cards has enough room to breath
& it's enough fresh (cool air) coming into Your case..
- if You don't make those two..You'll loose performance &
increase possibility of hardware failures =)

It depends to kernels, settings, scene content. I can see 100-200 ms/sec with DL on 2x780, for C4D. Demo scene is consist from a single mesh. But plugin can divide the scene to meshes for interactivity. This causes some performance loose but gives interactivity for objects. So you can immediately move or change your geometry and see in rendering.
