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

[bepeg4d]

Hi,

If you are talking about old Macs with AMD/Intel GPUs, they are no more supported from a long time.

OctaneX only works with Apple Silicon M1/M2/M3/M4, and now M5 GPUs.

Hi everyone,

I searched the forum and seems last year octane was available in Nvidia Omniverse, is that still available?

Does Omniverse also run on the render network? I don't think so right? Will that happen?

Hi everyone, I want to set up a linux render server on my old mac 5,1. Anyone has experience with this set-up? Otoy seems not to develop render nodes for mac...so I give linux a try. Beppe do you have any advices or driver tipps what ever I have to take care when setting up? Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi Martin,

Sincerely, I have done that some time ago and my memory is getting old

I remember to have tried some distro, and at the end, the more easy to install and maintain was Ubuntu, but I have screwed up my installation and I'm too lazy to reinstall it.

You need to prepare an USB stick via terminal, if I remember well, and the major issue was to keep the Nvidia driver up to date.

I have also read that old mac pro are no more supported by recent Linux distro, so I have abandoned my old Mac Pro 5.1 in the dust of the office

ciao,
Beppe
