Can i do that in the demo version?

sure, just open the benchmark scene which is included with the octane demo pack or whatever...and switch it to pathtracing

I see, im still missing ram, hdd, and the psu the only thing i can do is put it into my old system ,the one im currently on, and do the benchmark but wont that bottleneck performance its only a dualcore?

Rendering is done on the GPU (video card). The CPU isn't used much at all. So for purposes of testing render speed via the benchmark scene the CPU shouldn't matter.

I see I will get you the results tonight

I was trying to install it and just figured out that my PSU is only 350W , Minimum is 500W.

sorry guys but my missing hardware will be purchased on 25th and delivered somewhere near 29th that's when you'll receive a benchmark from me.

Hi there

My new computer is almost finished and I was wondering on getting 2 of this also. Do you think 850 watts of power supply is enough for 2 or do I need to use 1000w and up. Thanks in advance

It depends also on the rest of the PC, processor, HDs and so on do suck it fair bit, I'd go for the 1000, I had a 750W and when I bought the 470 it couldn't with both at the same time, so I upgraded to a 1000W one. But it also depends much on quality of the PSU, in my case they might say it was a 750W but it was most likely not giving that much juice.
