Why not get a 580 (if you were planning on getting one originally anyway) and use it as well as the 470? It would more than double your performance, though I'm not sure about the power requirements.justix wrote:Slightly? I thought I could speed my renders quite a lot as the 448 x 2 = 896 Cuda cores isn't it?glimpse wrote:Cheaper, slightly faster..but on the othe side less of vRam =) though enough for learning pupose and small scenes.justix wrote:So..I rather double my GTX470 with another one than going to a GTX580 instead...

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (Kentsfield) @ 2.4ghz. Asus P5N-E SLI (nForce 650i). 8GB ram. 6GB Geforce Titan + 2GB GeForce GTX 560 Ti. Win 7 x64.
That is one of my concerns, I now running a 750W though it would be no problem to change it to an higher wattage BUT sadly I would need a more powerful motherboard with 2 PCI 16x rising the cost to set it all up to 1.100 Euro at least..at this point I can check to find a Gtx 590 and game over..shame about the 680 being such a bad performance..charge wrote: Why not get a 580 (if you were planning on getting one originally anyway) and use it as well as the 470?

HI there
Am I right in thinking you can now get the 590 GTX with 3 gig of RAM, on Fermi architecture.. and would this come top of the list...?
sorry about the long link below:

workstation well past its sell-by-date, Vista 64 bit (!) with a pitiful amount of RAM, re-invigorated with a GX 590
3ds Max Design 2011 (have 2013 but can't be bothered to re-do all the UI), CS5, and that free z-brush program, whatever it's called

D'oh - didn't realise there were 6 pages of posts
so a 590 would half the rendering times say compared to my trusty 470, and give me 20% more RAM...

Tested the benchmark scene with the GTX 670 (Gigabyte GV-N670OC-2GD, factory overclocked)today .
I tested with Octane 2.58c (Kepler test build) and Nvidia 301.42 drivers; the test system had a Core i7 3770 3.4GHz, and 32GB RAM at 1600MHz.
The results:
DirectLighting 01:04 minutes 9.35 Ms/sec
Pathtracing 03:38 minutes 2.63 Ms/sec
PMC 04:41 minutes 2.05 Ms/sec

Can't wait to tryout the 2 GTX680's that are on my way
Win7 x64 - I7 920@4Ghz - 6Go DDR3 - GTX470
Thanks for the update, that seems about right for PMC on the 670.
Even tho' for Octane the 600 series currently isn't performing as good as the 500 series i'm still getting a 670 for my home PC (mainly for the gaming performance!).
Cheers

Hello everybody. I have been using Octane for a bit now on my home PC with a GTX 470. Good speeds for my own fun/ occasional freelance job. But I will be entering into a company that has been outsourcing its rendering projects but is looking to bring it in house. They loved my Octane renders and the quality of Octane was way better than what they have been previously paying for. Since they have no in house render computers right now, I will be able to choose the hardware/software packages.
We will be going with Blender/Octane render, as this is the setup that I currently use (and they were very happy with the price point
)
Anyway, could anyone recommend a graphics card that would be more suitable for a company than my 470? Should I just look at getting a multi 470 build?
Has anyone tested more powerful cards on the market, if so, what is the speed increase and cost increase relative to the 470?
price is a factor, but like I said, this isnt a home computer for a hobbyist, so they can afford to spend more.
