Now that the number of texture units doubled, NVIDIA also changed the way how Texture Units operate. In the pre-Kepler era, you could use up to 128 simultaneous textures. Bindless Textures are probably the key reason why Samaritan can run on a single card, and why the performance of GT 640M and GTX 680 is where it is. This feature increased the number of simultaneous textures from 128 to over a million. Yes, you've read this correctly. An engine developer can now run its shader code on all the textures he or she plans to use and run those textures as they come along. In ideal circumstances, Samaritan demo can address operations on 200-300…1000 textures and Kepler gives you that level.
I picked it up out of this review

Interesting
Texture problem solved ?
indeed if this can be accessed by Octane in the next builds. Add instancing & displacement support & it's practically ready for Prime Time!
Which means the 5XX series will drop like easter eggs from the bunny LOL, I've already seen the mid priced 2GB 5XXs begin to dive. So if you're on a budget it's gonna be a good time to pick up an extra card or two (if you mobo supports multi PCIe 2.0 cards).MEC4D wrote:OK ... I am waiting for the result with octane ..
