Yes, but Octane won't use more then 896MB on the 580. Better dedicate the 580 to Octane and the 275 to display so you keep a smooth desktop while rendering.

Hi guys, another hijacker here. I will buy a gpu soon I have those options

PALIT GTX460 SONIC 2048MB 250 $
ASUS ENGTX470 2DI 1280MB 315 $
MSI N560GTX TWINFROZER II/OC 1GB 290 $

Which would be the best choice for gpu rendering? I might make it a SLI in the future. Thanks in advance

If you need to render large scenes, the 2GB 460 is best.
If you don't need the 2GB ram, and you want a bit more speed, go for the others.
I think 1GB is not enough, so i would take at least the 470, or the 460 if you render larger scenes.

what if I wanted to render an animation with water.
Will octane support the modifiers of blender 2.57?
Will it support particles systems?
