RTX Cards coming in HOT

[jessebafia]

Hey Octane team!

With the new RTX cards being released to public very soon was just curious if they will be working with Octane 4 at all or we'll need to wait a bit before moving over to the new versions by year?

All new Turing cards should work just out of the box with any Octane version which already supports Volta (since 3.08 Windows and Linux and 4 RC2 on OSX).

Optimizations will come later on once an official CUDA 10 is released.

Awesome thanks!

Is there any current Octane Bench points running on RTX2080Ti maybe ?

Nothing official yet, the current OctaneBench at the moment of writhing these lines does not have Turing support so any numbers we'd be giving you now would not be accurate as they'd be generated using a different version of Octane.

We are planning a v4 benchmark rather sooner than later which will let you compare.

Thanks Goldorak,
So 2018Ti is around 360 points vs 1080Ti 190 points. Not bad (even more than what i expected (i expected 40-50% faster than 2080Ti since i didn't believe that "hype" abotu 6-8x ))
Seems very good for un-optimized octane. But that links says Octane 5 core, can we expect for RTX Turing cards to work in Octane 3.08 and 4.x anytime soon ??
I'd buy few this year but only if they can work in octane 3/4 obviously 'coz waiting for Octane 5/2019 could take too much time.

Thanks
