Nice option if you need a card now.

But for the rest of us, wait for Kepler later this year. - Read this:

Nice, but at the price of 600+ Euro I'd rather invest into a quadro 4000 which would work very well with 3d aps... I am just waiting for the gtx 560 to be released.

nice info but given that kepler is still a new tech, i see another trial and error situation like the gtx 400 to 500, series

IMO this 3gb gtx580 would still be of high value till mid 2012 if not ending. besides nvidia is yet to release it complete 500 series lineup and they would
definitely want to maximize profit before introducing a new architecture, again dont forget amd as another factor they may consider moving at their pace

Hi, just wondering what's so exciting about 3GB. I started another thread about how many people even use all 2GB...what would you do with 3GB?

I wonder if you could use the new shift lens support to render 4 quadrants separately and stitch them together in photoshop! (I don't quite get what shift lens is yet so this might be nothing)

Yes you can. If you want to render in 2x2 tiles, you have to shift horizontally and vertically +/- 50%.

As an example the new C4D exporter 0.11 (which I will release after beta 2.4x is done) will export the shift lens camera of C4D and with that, you can use the tiled camera expression, which automates the workflow a bit.

At some point we might automate this in Octane, but not for beta 2.4x.

Cheers,
