Howie Fawkes Scenes, What Card?

I don't think my lowly 770 is enough for one of his scenes, seeing as it only has 2GB ram on it, for those of you out there who have got his scenes to render, what type of card do you have and how much ram do you have on it?

Is there some special trick to getting one of his scenes to work? Something that needs to be turned off or removed?

Wish I could get a 960 but means I would have to get a new PSU as well and well funds are sadly lacking at this time

I have just a GTX 760 but my solution is to replace all his trees with mesh trees
I have quite a collection from sets by Merlin, Faveral and others which I cherry picked all the trees out of and saved to my browser with hotpoints at bases ready to load, freebie Xfrog trees not too bad either but tend to be a bit more demanding.
My issue is Carrara eats up all my RAM even before I open Octane with carrara trees showing leaves in preview.

will give it a try, maybe saving it as an exported .ocs file from Carrara might help

I also have a GTX 760. Yesterday I wanted to change to a GTX 970, but this one does not like to cooperate with my 3D games.
So now I have both cards in my PC. And can use both with OctaneReande :-)
Runs like charm!

970 not working video games? Ummm... No issues here. I had a 970 briefly before upgrading to a 980. It played everything.
