My name’s Anna, and I could really use some help figuring out a strange issue that started after updating to OctaneRender 2023.1. I’ve been troubleshooting for days and I’m honestly at a loss.
Since the update, rendering in Path Tracing mode causes:
- A massive performance drop (much slower than when I was using a 3080 Ti)
- Strange colored square artifacts during progressive rendering, especially in scenes with a lot of GI
- GPU VRAM usage spikes and frequent CUDA crashes
- Unwanted banding and fireflies in render passes like Diffuse and Emission (not present in PMC)
