Hello,

I was wondering how many GTXs would fit a profile of a industry standard of a "Render Farm".
Lets say I have:

[Costs and power consumption aside. And that this isn't for octane, since octane is more of the Vram then the cores]

2 x GTX 580s = 1024 cores // 3 GBs Vram = Low end ?
4 x GTX 580s = 2048 cores // 6 GBs Vram = Standard?
8 X GTX 580s = 4096 cores // 12 GBs Vram = High end?

Thanks,
Radiant

PS: This is just theory i dont have the money or power to full this off, maybe the low end in a few weeks though :twisted:

I guess you are right, but if these three options where the only ones available which one would be "The one" to go for.
