Can you explain us the prices?

[coilbook]

Hi It said $9.99 for 2 GPUs
is it unlimited use for 9.99?

What if I always need at least 100 GPUs to get the job done fast and I will use them at least 8 hours a days. What is the price?

Can we get monthly prices for 100 GPUs unlimited use Etc

Thank you

I jsut found an article about Octane 3
"Subscriptions will cost $9.99/month for two GPUs, or $19.99/month for unlimited GPUs, while plugins linking OctaneEngine to host DCC apps will cost $9.99/month, with bundle deals for multiple plugins."

Is this true?

I pay 20 bucks a month and get 200 GPUs or more?

To be fair, the pricing is really confusing. Can we have a concrete price list?

ok, I migh be not 100% right, but let me explain how I understood this, maybe that helps, if not, at least it will spark further duiscution:

for 9.99% You get a possibility to use ORC (OctaneRender Cloud) for 1000GPU Hours (if You run out of this, You can buy more). Now the GPU they are using is giving around 40 in terms of Octane Bench. Now, if You wish to have 80 (running You render jobs twice as fast) Your total available time would be devided by 2. &..if You wish to have 800 (ten times more than 80 in OctaneBench) then You have to divide Your time from 10 again =)..

This is called elastic nature of cloud.. whether You render Your work for an hour on a single GPU or let's say ten minutes on six GPUs - You'll pay the same =) 'cos You pay for time You spend on GPU.

Now OTOY migh limit maximum GPUs for smaller plans.. let's say if You pay 9.99 You get maximum of 2GPus, but if You buy credits (subscription with predefined amount of credits) for 19.99 You get to use more than two maximum GPUs.

This is early information & their presentation have to be rushed on stage - it was way to much to be explained in given time, thus the confusion comes. But I'm pretty sure, that till the lauch of cervice there will be much more explanations =)

Wait, one GPU only gets 40?? That's pretty useless considering that a single GTX 980 gets nearly 100... So by paying $9.99 I won't get even half of the performance I have on my PC? That sounds really wrong, it can't be like that, nobody would use it...

Hi,
I guess that there is a bit of confusion between the future OctaneEngine subscription:

that is a different version of OctaneRender and has two kind of subscription with different GPU support and differnt prices (and will be connect to ORC as well);
and the ORC subscription:

ORC is a differnt story and should have a monthly subscription of 9.99$ test drive of 1000 minutes. The GPUs should be 20 x 40 octanebench = 800 octanebench power per 1000 minutes.

As I can see from slide number 25 https://home.otoy.com/octanerender-3-an ... ap-update/ you will get for 9,99$ 50minutes of render time using 20gpus x 40 octane bench=800 octane bench.

you will get for 9,99$ 50minutes of render time using 20gpus x 40 octane bench=800 octane bench

Wait, so do you get 1000 minutes or 50 minutes?

[bepeg4d]

Mmm, I guess it should be 60 minuti with 20 GPU @ 800 OctaneBench GPU power, then you buy another hour for 9.99€... anyway, better waiting Goldorak for the final answer

Will there be possibility to buy upgrade to v3 and work without subscription?
As it was until now?
Because I am not willing to pay subcription for any software,
and I would abandon Octane.
