So, the Octane 4 (RC) is only version, which will work on RX2080/2080Ti ?

I don’t know whether older versions work. But given the octanevench is Octane 3, does not work out of the box, I can only assume it is so. don’t take my word for it though, I’ve not tested Octane 3 in LW, and I will most likely not do.

I'm also wondering if its possible to use the new Turing cards combined with the Pascal cards in one system. I just sold one 1070 because I wanted to upgrade to a 1080ti combined with another 1070 (that's still in my system) but right now I'm actually thinking of the 2080 since its pretty much on a similar price. I can't use the 11gb vram anyways while using another 1070.

It was no problem with the previous generations but since the RTX feature is new, I'm not sure about it.

Re working with Octane 3, I don't think it does but haven't tried that yet. Will give it a shot tomorrow.

Re Pascal + Turing cards in the same machine, that seems to work fine. My Win7 machine has a mix of 1080ti's 1080s and a 2080ti and octane 4 plays nicely with all of them.

OC Bench doesn't work because it is based on 3.06.

Pudgent Computers describe on their page how they got OC Bench to work by incorporating the 3.08 versions of the necessary files. So 3.08 should work with Turing indeed.

Good to know that with Octane it runs stable.

Side Note:

I was getting mixed results when running a benchmark scene in another render engine.

The Turing and Pascal cards activated separately for rendering run without crashes.
When Turing and Pascal cards were activated at the same time and used to render all together this severely increased the DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION BSOD frequency.


This could be related to the mainboard I am using.

Still, during the last months using Pascal cards I had not seen many of those DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION BSOD.

Assigning a Pascal card for the display and Turing cards for rendering seems stable.

For now I set the Pascal card to run OpenGL and the Turing cards to run Cuda:
The display and PhysX are set to the Pascal card as well:

Hello

I have received my RTX2080ti. I'm using it with a 980ti and a 1080... a,d so far everything is working great.

A scene which took 2min30s for a frame (with the 1080 + 980ti), now takes 31s

No crash, what so ever.

I'm using the last NVIDIA Driver and cuda 10.

Ha pretty sweet numbers. These cards are insane!

If only i could actually could buy them Ordered 2 on 19th September, been told lately they are supposed to be available on 21th October. Meanwhile, i can see them stock here in Europe on caseking, overclockers or alternate, but my reseller takes it slow...

You have to understand than half of the first batch of the 2080ti have been thrown away, because of faulty VRAM... they have to test by hand EVERY card now... that's why avaibility is problematic now. But it's better, than receiving a defective card.
