NEW: Octane X - is finally here! [MEGA FAQ THREAD]

[m0dm0d]

Here's one more (if it's useful)

Vega56 = 26 seconds (egpu)

One final question: in your result graph there is a NVidia 2070 Super, which I assume must be in Windows on CUDA. Are you able to get a NVidia 3080 CUDA test for the graph? I would love to see how the 6900XT on Metal compares to 3080 on CUDA.

So I just ran a test using a RTX 3080 and got 8 seconds (same time regardless of RT acceleration being turned on or not). Using Network rendering with an additional 3 GPUs (2 1080 ti's and 1 1070 ti) halved that to 4 seconds.

Hello! Otoy. Can I ask about when the production ready version of Octane X will be release? Or at least use the newer SDK? 2020.2 or 2021? Because I also use the windows machine. The windows version is 2020.2.3. It’s great! So wanna to know about The Mac version. Thanks a lot!

@m0dm0d: big thanks, any AMD GPU not listed is more than welcome

@pegot: big thanks to you too, now we have a reference from all the most recent Nvidia GPU families, Pascal Turing, and Ampere

Here is the updated graph:

@stevelong03: sorry I cannot share any ETA.

Happy Mac GPU rendering,
ciao Beppe

Here is my results. AMD RX 5700 + AMD RX Vage 64, together and single results.
RX5700 (internal GPU) with RX Vega 64 (internal GPU) = 11 seconds
RX5700 = 23 seconds
RX Vega 64 = 22 seconds

Any idea when we'll be able to use Octane in C4D on an M1 Mac natively without having to open C4d under rosetta ?

Great work. have a 6900xt in egpu that matches results mentioned here. My Linux PC with 3090 finishes in 7 secs. But, I have tested on more advanced scenes and in some scenes 3090 and 6900 is exactly on par while in some the 3090 pulls ahead a lot. All in all it feels like Octane is finally at a stage where it renders most scenes well on Mac.
I only have a difference in amout of fireflies when rendering on PR11 compared to linux 2020_2_1. Is there some change that has not been implmented on the mac yet?

Great, thanks for the positive feedback

About fireflies, weird, it should not
Could you share with me, even in Private Message, a scene that shows the issue?

Chess set benchmarks on a Mac Pro:

1 x AMD Vega II Duo : 18 sec
2 x AMD Vega II Duo : 9 sec
3 x AMD Vega II Duo : 6 sec
4 x AMD Vega II Duo : 4 sec

Hi dladopoulos,
thanks
Do you mind to redo the test with 2x GPUs?
It should be 8/9

ciao Beppe
