There is no particular fix for Pascal. Pascal is supported since a while. We plan to release a 3.06 test build tomorrow. It will be built using CUDA 8 only (and not a mix of CUDA 7.5 and 8). I don't think that this will change anything regarding stability, but maybe it does.

If you've got a scene that causes a kernel crash, please send it to me. I'm happy to look at it. At the moment I've got only one scene that causes a kernel crash and I couldn't find the issue yet, because every time I add some code to debug the issue, it disappears. And the kernel failure occurs also on Maxwell and Kepler hardware, i.e. it's not hardware specific.

Again, if you've got a scene causing repeatable issues, please send it to me and I will have a look at it as soon as possible.

Thanks.

Guys, in NZ the day has just begun and making a release isn't a thing that happens in 20minutes...

I know that Pascal works in 3.05. But we were all hoping that our Pascal cards would in fact be faster than previous generations once Nvidia/CUDA8/Octane were all humming with optimizations.

Can we still expect 3.06 to unlock the power of these cards...and that we'll see a 20-40% speed gain?
