Octane Render 1.022 beta2.2 RC3 available [obsolete]

[pixelrush]

memory is reported correctly now but Octane is loading the wrong gpu as active. was fine before...

speed seems to have gone up from 0.8 to 1.0 msps since my last test using the benchmark scene

Another GPU scalability test

VERSION : RC3
RESOLUTION : 3840 x 2160
1 GPU of GTX295 : 1.63 Msamples / sec (GPU_LOAD : 99%)
8 GPU of GTX295 : 11.67 Msamples / sec (GPU_LOAD : 84%) SCALABILITY : 89.49%

89.49 is a near linear scale result, even though GTX295 is not supported by GPU tone mapping.

RESOLUTION : 852 x 480
1 GPU of GTX295 : 1.42 Msamples / sec (GPU_LOAD : 99%)
2 GPU of GTX295 : 2.64 Msamples / sec (GPU_LOAD : 96%) SCALABILITY : 92.95%
4 GPU of GTX295 : 4.85 Msamples / sec (GPU_LOAD : 89%) SCALABILITY : 85.38%
8 GPU of GTX295 : 7.49 Msamples / sec (GPU_LOAD : 73%) SCALABILITY : 65.93%

While scalability dropped form 98.49% to 65.93%, the GPU_LOAD dropped from 84% to 73% too.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

The GPU scalability seems to be very nice(linear) now, but their linearity are not correctly evaluated,
because the GPU loads are not even according to the cases(resolution, number of GPUs and so on).

We need other benchmark test set for GPU scalability test, I think.

I have a repeatable crash:

Import mesh > select node > click on maximize this pane button on the graph editor > crash saying "assertion error"

Nice release Radiance!
it' s working fine with my hardware.
Same scene 1200 s/px
rc2 11min, rc3 13min
rc2 is faster and cleaner but in rc3 material system is much improved, the bump works with diffuse materials.

Duno if this has been reported yet, once you arrive to the amount of samples you cannot select any material in the scene and you cannot restart the rendering anymore neither by moving the camera nor by selecting the restart button, is it just me or do other meet the same problem ?

scandog72 reported it previously.
I have also noticed the problem.

me too

bump works with diffuse?? awesome !!

I found a bug.

When you render with two gpus, at lets say 500x500 pixel, and you pause and change the resolution to 3000x3000, when you press play, the renderviewport/renderimage will show up splittet, with different amount of grain.

Cheers.

When I was rendering an image last night with the new RC3 candidate, I noticed that the screen was flashing white at times. I haven't been able to figure out what is causing it yet, but I just thought that I would report it.
