I just installed a new RTX 3060 card and reloaded Nvidia drivers.
Octane 4 is activated and behaves normally until the render window pops up with not content (see attached screenshot).
Any additional configuration I need to enable or disable features on 3060 to make this work?
Thanks!

Hi. Have you upgraded to the latest Nvidia drivers? It may be that GTX 3000 cards will not work with Octane 4, and you need to upgrade to Octane 2020. But you will need to check all this with OTOY.

Thanks

Thanks Paul. I'll check with them.
Not interested in upgrading at this time but understand that reality!
Sincerely,
Rick

Hi Tim - Can you post a screenshot of the plugin Devices->"Open Device Settings" panel pls?

Also - I suggest submitting a ticket to OTOY asking if Octane 4 will render with a 3060.

Thanks

Sounds like octane 2020.1.5 will work but I dont even know how to purchase this.

Have sent a question to Octane.

Ive got a subscription for $10us a month for octane. After lots of questions and frustrations it seems I can download the latest version which works with rtx3060 ( and id imagine the ti version too) which is good.

Yeah if you want a perpetual license, its basically like rebuying. Its 500 Euro to upgrade from V4.

10us sub? Not sure which one is that, but studio sub is 16 euro/18usd. You can use up to 2 GPUs. https://home.otoy.com/render/octane-ren ... ns/#studio
