We provide a demo version to test (and we recommend to do so) before purchase, so people can make sure.
Yes its completly missleading, Nvidia blocks CUDA and PhysX if a non Nvidia card is on and used for display http://hothardware.com/News/New-NVIDIA- ... -Detected/

As a CUDA developer you should know that and make it clear in the FAQ for you clients, also saying it sometimes works and sometimes not, is not the professional respond we would excpect from the core of Octane's developing team, you should know better.

BTW, it only works perior to Nvidia drivers version 185.85 which only supports up to the 2xx cards, up to that version they was still allowing using CUDA with other non Nvidia cards.

Hi all,
For your information, the motherboard M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 with the last Bios 1606 works now with 2 Nvida card (and works with Octane too...).
Indeed, i'm really happy... ;)
