OTOY Forums

Hello, long time I was not in the forum due to work, I'm glad to see that you are all well!

My graphics card is damaged (gtx 295) and I only work a partition of the card which is dual, so for this render with AO pathtracing has taken me several hours,

someone could tell me which graphics card would you recommend me between a quadro 4000 or gtx Titan, I'm saving money to buy one of these two ..

thank you very much!




There is some P.P. with photoshop, but minor things ..

There are too many threads on this topic to be perplexed.

The watch is a nice render. I opted for the Titan: 20 mins on that watch. Or so...

Titan.. quadro 4000 is much slower

Agreed. My first card with Octane was a Quadro 4000 and it was sloooooooooooow. I've got a 780 now and it flies. You might want to look at a 780 or the new 780ti. It does only have 3gigs of Vram but it's very fast. If you don't have large scenes this might save you some cash compared with the Titan.

Hi UnCommonGrafx, many thanks for your reply, very helpful !, This watch render with my "broken" gtx 295 toke me 24 hours !, so if you tell me that I can render in 20 minuts like that,I really want it, but I need to save money to buy it, because its price : 900 €

acc24ex sorry I wrote wrong the graphic card, I mean k6000 instead of k4000, that is 12 gigs (creepy monster of memory, and costs 4500 € !!!), but the speed with octane seems to be similar of the gtx Titan, I think better the titan, look :

Bendbox the matter is that I really need to work with a lot of models, and large scenes for interior renderings, so I need at least 4 gigs , many thanks for your advice, i will check for the 780 ..

Thank you all for your replies !

as mentioned above:
For a slim budget GTX 580 /3GB is the way to go! you can get them from € 150-200 max. and two of them
are faster than one Titan...
i´ve been running 4 of them over the last two years doing professional architectural visualisations
and I only hit the 3GB limit once.

hey, i would ALWAYS prefer the Titan if you Need large Scenes where you use many imagebased-textures!
in my opinion the textures Needs most of the ram, the geometry is often not that big deal.
if you got Scenes with procedural materials most you should prefer 2x 780ti which Comes just a bit
more expensive than the Titan but are together twice as fast!

i would try to get one or two used Titans on ebay, an used Titan should be priced same as a new gtx 780ti.

Thank you Stahlwolle and gueoc, I am making a new confguration to buy the entire computer, because I have problems with the entire computer, not only the graphic card, so I´ve been making this config :

- Intel Core i7-4770 3.4Ghz Box

- Gygabyte G1 sniper z87

- Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H80i

- G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR3 1866 PC3-14900 16GB 2x8GB CL9

- SanDisk Ultra Plus 256GB SSD SATA3

- WD Caviar Black 1TB SATA3 7200rpm

- Cooler Master Silencio 650 Pure

- Nox Urano TX 850W

- Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780 OC 3GB GDDR5

- LG GH24NSB0 DVD 24x black

Total : 1470 €

I pretend to improve the speed in the future upgrading to X2 GTX 780 (WITH A TOTAL OF 6 GIGS !!), and I dream in a 4 way gtx 780TI, but its only a dream to make my own little renderfarm...so what do you think ?

Cheers.

I use a lot of imagebased textures that I previously make in PSD or illustrator
