hi there,
I'm new to Octane and i was wondering.......
If i am working on a 3D scene, the preview is happening on the GPU i suppose.
But what happens if i render to a final output? Does the CPU kicks in as well or is the final image still (only) rendered by the GPU?
In other words. Does it make sense to invest in a fast CPU + GPU or just a fast GPU?
.
Render question

Hi dbmd,
Octane render is a GPU render engine; CPU works to send information to the GPU when compiling the file.
My advice is to choose a CPU that offers more PCIe lanes with high clock, and invest money in GPUs and Ram.

So a 1080 Ti (maybe add a second 1080 Ti later) on a AMD threadripper 1950x based system should run smooth?
