Core i7 = more than 98 gigaflops

NVIDIA Tesla C2050 = 515 Gigaflops per GPU and has 448 CUDA nucleos ( is each nucleo a new GPU? )

So, would this Nvidia card ( that costs only $3.500 ) get 2.300 times more render power while rendering with Octanerender?

I also have a NVIDIA GTX 260 videocard on an i7 processor machine.
How much more quick my computer would render with octane?

Depends on your scene. There are a lot of things that determine how the scene renders, and how fast. There use to be a Cuda Emulation Mode for the older version of CUDA which would allow you to use the CPU as a cuda type device. Not sure if it was accurate, but it could give you a rough idea. Granted the cuda 3.0 pretty much got rid of this, but I can tell you that when I did try this a long time ago, even my gts250 blew the host cpu away. Try out the demo and see how you like it. It works a bit differently then most rendering programs, but I am sure you'll love it.
