    Greetings,

    I noticed Terradome renders way faster just with the new Iray... although I get the minecraft water reflection in my test render like you did too.

    Unrelated to the 10?0 speeds, does that 'minecraft water' effect (love the description!) go away or reduce if you subdivide the water?

    --  Morgan

    Unfortunately not. I have increased subdivision level for the water to 3 (default was 1), but the effect remains.

    Luckily, I have discovered, that optix option works with GTX1080 on my computer and rendering is faster with it enabled.

    Rendering Time: 5 minutes 26.78 seconds

    (GeForce GTX 1080):  1164 iterations, 3.617s init, 317.102s render

    I have changed water material to Reflective 05 Lake Dreamscape and got a different look.

    Rendering Time: 6 minutes 33.66 seconds

    (GeForce GTX 1080):  1398 iterations, 3.679s init, 384.973s render

    I have installed the new Nvidia driver for my GTX1080. It is version 375.70. Good, that they releasing them so often - more fixes, I hope.

    Below is a test render of Airport Island - Mariana Trench Resort

    This set has also a lot of mesh lights.

    I have stopped it after 34 minutes 2.65 seconds

    (GeForce GTX 1080): 2127 iterations, 19.982s init, 2008.264s render

    One big one, multi-cpu motherboards.  That way you can actually get 32 cores in a single machine.

    ...or if you have the big bucks, up to 88 cores

    Also server boards can support more physical memory, some up to 1 TB.

    More than that.  I have one that can hold 2TB of RAM, not that I can afford to put that much into it.  The machine also has 11 PCI-e slots.

    ...11 PCI-e slots? Crikey, you could build your own VCA with that and have a few left over for PCI SSDs

    I wish.

    ....I'd just be happy with the Duo 8 core Xeon 128 GB, dual Pascal Titan-X (when they finally release the tech to EVGA) system I worked up. Crikey.  Fast viewport response in Iray view mode 7,000+ CUDA cores for speed and a boatload of memory for those really huge scenes that blow past the Titan's VRAM.

    ...well just got pricing on the Pascal Quadro line (Newegg)

    P5000: 16 GB GDDR5X, 2,560 Cores:  2,499$

    P6000: 24 GB GDDR5X, 3,840 Cores:  5,399$
