OTOY Forums

So the first Nvidia Maxwell card came out. It's not a very powerful card, but also not a very expensive one. The main thing about it is that the power consumption is insanely low. The reference card doesn't even require any additional cables and runs straight from the PCI-E port. The TDP of the card is 60W. One rather interesting thing is that the card seems to be performing very well in some openCL and CUDA benchmarks (see links). I'm now really interested in seeing how this card performs in more practical situations like Octane render. At the very least it might give us some insight to the upcoming Maxwell cards and their potential.

Hi,

I wonder how this new GPU (GTX 750 Ti) works with octane
what is the score ?

what appears to be awesome about these cards is they don't need a meaty power supply.
Interestingly, according to the first set of benchmarks you posted, it runs at about
70% of a titan on the luxrender rendering benchmark so pretty efficient for such a cheap card.


I wonder if you can run two of these at the same time in Octane for double the kick.
Anybody know the answer?
