The GTX 460 768MB has the same shader number as the 1 GB version. That is , 336 for both.
3930k at 4.4 Ghz, Asus X79, 32GB DDR3. 1 x GTX 980Ti
Yup, just less rop's and memory. I'm glad they finally came out with a reasonable card for everyday people. Even a gtx470 is out of range for a lot of people. I'd like to get one to test out. Looks like the best bet is still an asus gtx465 hacked up to a gtx470.
System 1: EVGA gtx470 1280Mb and MSI gtx470 1280 in Cubix Xpander for Octane, AMD 945, 4Gb Ram
All systems are at stock speeds and settings.

Now the base GTS450 model has to be added. About 130$ with 1GB but of course less CUDA cores. Still a very good card to use as your primary display card while the second one renders full scale. When you´re done using the UI you can add it to the rendering pool.
A picture with the base specs and the comparison

It´s just half the number of cores, but nothing to sneeze at and with a low power consumption a nice second card to add to your GPU system. There will be at least one manufacturer producing a passive cooled card so if the main card is not busy rendering you have a quiet system to work at.
Max.

It would be nice if we have a comparasion between the latest Nvidia gpu's - GTX 4xx & GTX5xx ...
Since the performance on Octane is [almost?] independent from the cpu we have.. I think it will be a good idea if staff and/or costumers post a image showing the performance in Octane from each gpu..
It was easier for future costumers or upgrades for already costumers of Octane to choose a gpu..
Like buy a GTX470 or GTX 560 1gb or GTX560 2gb or a gtx570 1280mb, if a GTX580 is a worth buy vs GTX570, the cost per performance, ....

I know that wikipedia, and google, is my friend.
As a matter of fact i am a follower of hardware tech.. I know the main diferences between the lastest Nvidia [and ATI] GPU's, and from Intel & AMD cpu's/chipset's/etc too..
I was talking in real comparasion on Octane render.
Have a real feedback of performance with each gpu - or...the possible.. with the gpu's from octane staff and costumers..
I know that a GTX570 is faster than a GTX560 but not as fastest as a GTX580. And I know the GTX580 as more shaders and higher clock's in reference design than a GTX570..
But i don't know the diference in performance on Octane render and if the GTX 570 - 340/360€ - is a worth buy when compared with a GTX 560 - 250/270€ ..
Of course it depends also from the work flow, what we expect to produce, available money to invest, etc..
But with a performance comparasion each costumer could decide what is best for him when upgrading a GPU..

There have been several benchmark attempts on the forum (have a search for "benchmark"). This is one of them: http://www.refractivesoftware.com/forum ... f=21&t=996
