Greetings, I hope that someone can help me out. I have a reading comprehension problem due to health issues, so reading through the forum in order to find the remedy to my problem is quite difficult for me at this time, so please bear with me...

My system is based on Windows 10, X99-A motherboard with an i7-5960X cpu, 24G of memory, and now sporting a Titan, 2080Ti and a new 3070 video card (which replaced a 1080Ti video card. All three of these cards together worked awesome). The gfx drivers are recently updated. Windows is up to date as are all other drivers as far as I can tell.

I'm using Poser 11 Pro with Octane for Poser 4.02.1.91 All was working great before upgrading to the 3070 video card. Right now I can see the 3070 video card in Octane's Cuda Devices tab, 'open device settings' but there are no selection boxes like I see for the 2080Ti and the Titan video cards.

I found the articles in the forum about the 3000 series cards not fully working with version 4? of Octane, is this correct? It has left me rather confused as I cannot figure out if I have to update to Octane 2020 and now pay a monthly fee in order to fully use the 3070?

If I go to the updates page, I am confused as to which file I need to download to be able to take full advantage of my setup with the 3070 video card?

I am at a loss here as to what to do, how to proceed, what to download (where the links are) and if I have to pay even more to continue using Octane with my current config?
So this is where I sit at the moment. I can still render with Poser/OCtane but only using the 2080Ti and the Titan video cards. The 3070 doesn't kick in at all.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Hey,

I think you need to get this one:

The enterprice upgrade. Please check if the poser plugin is updated though.

Many thanks, I've picked one of them up and installed it and everything works 100%... and now I've halved my rendering times with the new setup.

Cheers
