Octane Render. 1.20 , 2048/1024 , Pathtracing, 865 passes, 1 min 51 sec... just amazing this 1.20 version...

Hi Visuall,

Off topic I know, but I'd love to know if your 5x 690's and your 6x Titans are on different machines?
Would also love to hear how you keep those babies cool and if they are very noisy?

Thanks,
Seeker

Hi ! Seeker

No secret, a Big tower with 4x slot and 2 expander Cubix 16 and manager software.
I have a little room with clim , always 21 degres,

I thought you couldn't run more than 6 GPUs, or you get an error on windows? What is this "manager software"?

Hi Peter, for software : http://www.cubix.com/gpumanager

My config is : See the doc http://www.cubix.com/sites/default/file ... 202013.pdf for more infos or visit http://www.cubix.com

Have a Nice day!

Thank you for the info Visuall! I didn't know there where specific software to come around this problem Costly, but well worth it for a realtime shaderbox

I also saw in your 1min 50s example only used 2 GPUs right? Whats the time with all enabled?

So for my test I used a single GTX690 (2gpu), the time is right, 1 minute 50 with a single 690;)


When all cards are active, just a few seconds with this setup of course!
Otherwise, in general, an interior scene between 3 and 10 minutes depending on the complexity.

3:30 minutes for this scene, pathtracing sun and blackbody on a plane to the ceiling, original size 2048/1024 px

Visuall very nice!

I have a question...regarding your multi gpu setup...

U have 3 xpanders connected to your main station is that it? so does that mean that your MBoard has 4 pcie, where 3 of them have the cards that connect to the Xpanders and 1 for your monitor(s)?

What Mboard do you have?

Thanks for sharing, Visuall. I've now hijacked your topic... But people's setups always interest me - and clearly some others.

Wow! That is impressive. Do you find the Titans very noisy when working hard?
