Isn't cycles slower then maxwell?

If I'm not wrong you can use it with GPU. I've seen some pretty fast examples with modest hardware but I have to see yet a well done speed test between Maxwell and Cycles.

sss doas'nt work on gpu, displacement too..
there will be no sss gpu rendering for the next time, imho

What I really would like to see is something like this from nl for mw:

Nice aerial.

I have been learning Cycles. I did a 1000 frame arch animation with Cycles, first one in the 7 years of doing arch renderings. It was ok. I used a render farm called Render Street. Rendered the 1000 frames in about one hour and was $260.00. I mean I thought it was ok, but still room for much improvement. The clients loved it though.

Render Farms. That's how I do it. I just bill the client.

you are very lucky to have this client..........!
