Not really on point here, but I didn't want to bother with starting a new topic ...
Will the good ol' V4 version of OR still work with the new RTX30x0 cards?
Are there any infos out about it already?

Erick- no, the 30xx series cards only work with Octane 2020, not any earlier versions. I'm a version 4 user also, and just got ahold of a 3090 a few days back and it's a no go.

Thank you for the info, Cabled!
So, hmm ... that means (for me at least), that, beside getting a new system (which I want (need) at one point anyway), I also have to get Poser12 and an OR upgrade/subscription/whatever in general on top of that. As a 3D-Hobbyist, that's quite unpleasant, I have to admit.

(3 weeks late, Sorry)

Well, you don't HAVE to upgrade to Poser 12, there are separate Poser 11 and Poser 12 octane plugins that can use the 30xx cards. I'm running Octane 2020/Plugin in Poser 11 on my 3090 and it works great. I probably won't be upgrading to Poser 12, the loss of Python scrips is something I can't have, and it looks like most of 12's improvement are to the internal renderer and...Octane

There is an Octane 2020.1.5 version of the plugin with Poser 11, which should work with GTX 3000 series cards. I will not be releasing new plugin versions for Poser 11, so at some point Nvidia will release another card, which will need an Octane version after 2020.1.5, so my recommendation is to stay up to date and upgrade your Poser version.
