It will be the best for this render !!!!
All compagny go to GPU rendering see Octane, Cycles, Arion, Indigo, Iray, Centileo ....
Please do it

It would be really interesting to see Maxwell and GPU power together... However I trust NL to make really careful moves... So, I believe there is a reason they are not in a hurry to go on with GPU.

The new Realflow 2013 is set to utilize GPU power for certain operations, so maybe Next Limit is also planning something for Maxwell. That would be interesting.

I didn't see anything all that impressive. It's a flat shaded high poly object under HDR environment. Big deal. Maxwell Fire can do that with CPU. And look better.

try to shade 360M polys with any openGL graphics card...
it is the data management which i find impressive not the looks.
this ran on a 1.5 gb gtx480 if i remember correctly.

I think this is one of the most awaited features for Maxwell, the power of the GPU and SLI working for make awesome renders in minutes, no hours. +1

this demo is only about the data management. Like polynurb said, this is a GTX460 with only 1,5GB VRAM!
I think the big problem with GPUs is the slow paging to the System RAM und this solution seems to work quite nice.

interesting... so should this tell us something...?!? or are you playing Crysis with them?

Herve's got the 3D scanning bug, thats what the 690's are for, to speed up P-scan < truth....., and play TF2 @ 400 fps, ofcourse....

Hey Herve, I'm glad you decided to order that monster workstation!
