Latest on Facebook from Jules:

Closed beta for Octane X (XB16, non-osl build, for recent intel/AMD GPUs on latest 10.15.4) will open up to select octane users next week. It will include Octane X standalone + 9 DCC plugins + render slave, and OctaneBench X. We will post a sign up form in the forums shortly. Testers will need an existing octane Enterprise license, have existing octane CUDA MacOS experience to compare to latest octane X Metal, and also be willing to sign an NDA to enable us to share Octane X with 3rd party software/drivers that that may not be publicly released yet.

I'm on subscription, so won't get to test it. That sucks.

Both. You can choose Enterprise or Studio.

hmmm...so you would have to have buy a license for beta? Also in mind, wasn't the announcement last year that new MacPro owners can get a license for free for one year? My opinion, then I will wait a little bit until the "release candidate" version comes out before I buy a real license and use it for a beta product. Because who knows how long the beta phase will last. But nice for People with existing Enterprise licenses...maybe we could get some more information on this next week?

I have a current Octane license but also bought a new Mac Pro which, I believe, gives me access to a free Enterprise license...

"The final and full commercial release of Octane X Enterprise Edition will be offered as a free license to customers purchasing the new Mac Pro."

well in your quoted text it does say you're eligible for a copy of the 'final and full release'. to be fair, the beta is neither final nor full :). we will see soon enough, exciting times!

Yes, of course. I'll see how I fare with the beta tester form, as I used to use Octane on Mac until a few years ago.

Quote: Mac Pro users with Vega II Pro Duo - you might have the highest OB score of any single slot card

That is exciting, though it's a ludicrously expensive item.
