MLT working - 9000 series or higher only

I have read somewhere in the forum this will cost about 1200 dollars.
EDIT: héhé, I did not missed, see here:

Yeah, see that's the part I don't get. I'll take GPU-X over new Fermi card anyday of the week.

GPU rendering really takes over your machine a lot more than just rendering on the CPU in the background so a dedicated render box couldn't hurt. I won't be buying a machine just for Octane but if you did GPU rendering all day, it's probably the way to go. A headless Linux box and a command line render, ideally (no waste on screen drawing).

Haha, you need to enter the second best image then!! Wow, how to guess what that might be huh.

Yeah, quite tricky. You got a suck a little, but not too much. You got to be good, but not the best. Wow, talking about anal. hahaha

Hi,

This is easily remedied with a 2nd card/
Using a 2nd card for octane render leaves your machine %100 responsive for other work, you won't even notice it.
It will be even better than a CPU based one, as you will also have most of your CPU still available for other tasks.

Hi all,

Rad., Could you please tell us something about MLT progress?

[thwak]

Based on his previous statements, MLT is waiting for the multi-GPU coding to be done (which is in the next beta release). So the beta release after that should have the MLT implementation.

[radiance]

yes,

we had to redo the multi-gpu using a different technique, so we launched 2.1 without it,
moved multi-gpu to the upcoming 2.2, and moved MLT to the 2.3 after that.

currently we're dug deep into the multi-gpu, which is nearly done.
then we break our heads over finishing MLT.

Thank for the fast reply Rad
