I'd gotten used to using render machines at the office in Berlin that were basically mid-range gaming machines loaded with 4 GTX Titans, and I knew that the (out of production) 780 6GB was great because I have one stuffed into my 2008 Mac Pro. This meant for the first time in over ten years I would have to buy a PC. This news, alas, would not render my projects between now and the release of Octane 3 so I needed to make a move. Otoy recently revealed the great news that future versions of Octane would support OpenCL, so the 'new' Mac Pro's can finally join in the fun. ![]() ![]() Recently, that pretty much ceased to be the case. To add some drama, I had a job lined up as soon as I landed so I needed new hardware pretty soon.Īs you also probably know I'm a Mac user, and I generally don't know exactly what's inside my machines and I don't particularly care as long as they work and run the programs I use. As such, I needed to upgrade my hardware to accommodate serous rendering. I will kindly defer you to Tom Glimps he is very knowledgeable, very friendly, and for some reason absolutely loves this stuff.Īs you may have read, I recently moved from Berlin to the UK and will be freelancing here from now on. Request: Please don't email me any questions about hardware because there's a really good chance I won't know the answer. ![]() TLDR: I now have a very large PC, within it's spacious interior are four water cooled GTX 980's.
