Looking to buy, needing a little help first though

Hi I'm looking to buy this product for maya, what I'd like help with is optimizing my scene to work out speed gains with Octane, are there any helpful people out there who could move my iray scene to an octane setup ( I've played for hours but never seem to get the same render speeds as I've seen on youtube )
if someone wouldn't mind spending 5 mins rejigging my scene for optimal octane performance it would be a massive help.
I'm trunning titan x + GTX 980 on an i7 4770 with 32gb ram.
many thanks Ben

Those gpus are pretty fast.
What kind of scene are you talking about? Lots of caustics? Lots of lights/emitters?
Many glass/transparant objects?
What resolution is typical for you?

Hi Ben,
your request is quite unusual
could you share some screenshots to better understand what kind of scene and issues you have with it?
ciao beppe

Thank you both for responding,
The scene is pretty simple, 2 characters in a very very simple environment... please see attached
- these are the results I'm getting through Iray render time is about 5 minutes
.. the reason I'm asking is the deadline for the project is next week I can either pay for a render farm hire or try to get octane working fast enough to help me pump out content at quality with speed.
I really want Octane to be the solution, I've spent a spent in total a couple of days trying to get the settings right for a speedy / quality render and I just can't seem to get things running fast enough, and that's only with the trial version at 720p. The best time I've got is 1m 40s I think I'm really missing something in the render settings or maybe octane doesn't handle deformation well.. or is my machine funky somehow?
If someone could sanity check a scene for me and that would be so helpful, no need to set up shaders just leave everything 20% grey.
I'm sure I have missed the make it render fast checkbox in the interface
)
If anyone has a little time to help out that would be fantastic, reading the forums Octane seems to be a great little community to join.
Many thanks Ben
