Simple Gradient on a plane

I'm trying to create a simple gradient on a plane, I've been using C4D's native gradient, but Octane has been crashing a lot, so I am attempting to use the Octane Gradient node. Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong?
- C4D Gradient
- Octane Gradient
I found this thread, but using a composite with a mash and 2 materials seems a little too many nodes for me:

It doesn't crash normally. Where's your _bugreport.zip from the crash moment and current scene with causes this.

Crashes you talk about that's render failures. I see you have Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630 also. Did you enable it?

No it crashed previously due to the intel and was advised on here to disable it, which fixed that problem. I haven’t enabled it since
This however I assumed was too many textures all using the C4D gradient node?

This is what I see, send me the more data from Octane Log output window about failures. It may give more ideas
<<< Render failure detected!!! >>>
Please check render statistics to solve the problem.

The Octane log doesn't populate, I just get this:
- R23 crash
Did you mean
_BugReport.txt? I DM'ed you that also.

Please try to disable also AMD 5300M, and render only with Radeon VII, and vice versa.
About Octane Gradient, it is a Mapping node not a Generator, so you need to consider it as a Colorizer, than a proper Gradient.
It allows to remap an input texture with desired colors, but in your node setup, the input texture is missing.
Press the Liner or Radial buttons for generating it automatically, or use a graduated texture image or any other texture node to use it correctly.
It could be also used in Complex mode, for more details, please have a look at here:
