I'm new to this kind of rendering and I want to ask, what would do to get rid of the lines besides post-processing? Render longer?

What do you mean? What lines?

How much time did it take with Vray with the same hardware configuration? More or less? And final quality?
Thank you

Meh, I get to the same no. of samples on the same graphic card with 2.3v5 in 01:33 = 12% of difference

That's a disappointing speed increase :( and probably only due to optimizations.

So, I'm still not getting it; is Octane in 2.4 with cuda 3.2 using all the cores or not?!

Well, beats me :mrgreen: I think only one of the developers can answer that question. We can just guess :) heheh

P.S. I added bench result with alphashadows turned off.

I'm not sure myself, although the cuda driver now returns the correct number of cores in use,
the fact that using a GPU performance analysis tool both 3.2 and 3.0 builds use the same percentage of GPU usage,
it looks like 3.0 was using everything too, however i can't say for sure, as i can only see what the performance tools tell me...

On the other hand, the 3.2 builds should be using the GPUs to the maximum extent.

Ok tried the benchmark scene:

My specs:
AMD 1055T with 3 cores switched on and OC at 3.5GHZ
2GB ram
Gigabyte GTX460 1MB
Octane V2.42 (Latest)
Win7 64bit
Nvidia Drivers 266.58

time 3 mins 20secs to complete 4000 samples. GPU Usage only 85% - so no point in running it again with an overclock on the card.

Me thinks you may need a new heavy duty test scene and every one running the new test to compare with.

something that maxes the cards out.
