Hi Guys. Waiting for Octane release reminds me a french expression written on barbers shop windows, that can be translated as : "Tomorrow we'll shave for free".

Obviously, it is always for tomorrow ! :lol:

@sublime, v5 (CUDA 3.0) supports multi GPU, the problem is with CUDA 3.2. There will be two versions of 2.4. Read the first post, it explains everything.

But 4-6 weeks of work (just?) for multigpu support in CUDA 3.2 seems a lot of time. Nvidia really broke everything with 3.2 - resulting in another setback for Octane. :?

@sublime: No, all 460 owners are currently running on 2/3 speed in multi-GPU mode. This won´t change for the next weeks/months.

Also in single GPU.

There will be two vesions of 2.4:

* CUDA 3.0; -> multigpu, only 2/3 of cores for 460
* CUDA 3.2; -> no multigpu, all cores for 460

I've got some questions to Octane render team,

Can you make the tabs splitable from main screen so that people who own two screens can have a better workflow ?

And how can we delete useless nodes in the node graph ?

Will you creat some poly displacement materials or subsurface scattering (exemple with a sort of thickness map of the object in a grey scale image?

Another usefull idea will be a "simple preview picture" of each nodes in the graph editor and why not in the outliner for live db...
