]Hi,
I have 5 graphic cards at home, and 1 at work.

The home system has 2 GTX Titans(6gb) , 1 980 Ti (6gb), 1 GTX 680 (2gb), and 1 gtx 780 ti (3gb). The work system is a GTX 780 6gb.

I set up the scene at work and it previews and renders fine (albeit slower than at home), When I take it home, it previews fine, but when it renders, the file it saves don't look the same as the preview. Any idea what could cause that? I've included pictures of the preview which has a light blue gradient in portions, and the actual render, which is almost flat blue. The preview looks better than the render.

Here's what the preview looks like from the viewport. It's a lot better.

Sorry but posting to directly C4D section is better for visibility and avoiding confusions.

Where's second picture for comparison? Did you changed the render settings parameters? If so do you know the effects of each parameters in there?

The 2nd image is posted above.
(it wasn't a linear render issue, because some of the textures are right, others are wrong). Sorry about the wrong forum. Should I post again over at the c4d one?)

no please don't post twice. But it's still not clear to me. What about two different machine?
I suppose that's about "render buffer type" or like that. If you're on "float" it's linear on output. Just put a simple version of your scene to make everythings simpler. So we can quickly help to you.

Hi Akotar,
Thanks for your reply. My Subject was missing the word "consistent" I apologize for that. It renders on 2 different machines, but on the PC with 5 GPUS, it's looking inferior (as you can see in the two images). I'll upload the scene file so you can take a look. And thanks for looking...
