What new, when release? Can they to show the demo? Thx!

[Mihai]

Take a look at the website, they show some of the new features.

I checked out the teaser the GPU is exciting i need some benchmarks ! Watching the multi light video what exactly is new ?

Watching the multi light video what exactly is new ?

It will work outside Maxwell, as preview for rendered scenes as it was stated somewhere.

[chedda]

Ok so nothing new then just standalone. I noticed from the vid there's no colour tab for the emitters.

That multilight app was announced to be free. So you can send the app and mxi to customer and let them play with the render.

GPU rendering after all, which should be good news for MR popularity... Maxwell GPUs for Maxwell Render makes sense

Now, all that many existing users have to do is to throw away the MacBook Pros (AMD graphics), the MacPros (AMD graphics) and PCs with AMD FirePro cards. Here go $23,000 out of the window.

What a beautiful day

To replace AMD FirePro cards in render node PCs - which Nvidia GPU should one buy? Does a certain VRAM limit on the GPU cause problems, when not the whole scene fits into its memory? Should one buy several GPUs for each render node PC?

GPU render! Finally!...
I almost cry when I got the news...
I was just about to go with Octane Render and leave Maxwell behind...

[will]

yeah

[chedda]

Yeah mac users are having a tough time. However the classic mac pro can use nvidia cards like the titan x . I did read somewhere that otoy had got cuda running on an AMD card though. Also i read that cuda can be recompiled to use open cl. I did recently see a massive memory AMD card somewhere.

Congratulations to NL, that's been the most wanted feature and source of critique for a long time now! Nice!

I'm sure there were compelling reasons for going with CUDA instead of OpenCL, and I guess the more RAM the card has the better, and one that has the most CUDA cores. Lots of questions remain

Sure. So - which Nvidia card should one buy for one's render node PCs?

Although using a maxwell card for maxwell it's funny, Tesla cards really have the best performance / price relation.

And I should note that for GPU engine rendering, gamers cards work better than Quadro type.

[chedda]

The Titan X looks best especially the new pascal version. I know the older maxwell version can be flashed to work in a mac pro tower. Search macvidcards
