It was response on Nvidia website that they still working on to make the new Pascal architecture to work with iray and that is .. no more no less , DAZ doing quit updates always with Nvidia fixes and this one is very important , the question only when .
I knew it will be this way and the question is how well it will render and if optimal
2 cards for rendering and 1 for display that is the best combination , don't mix slower cards with faster cards in iray as you will lose performance of the faster cards so waste of money
Have you seen more on this, because all I've found is the one post....that was linked in another thread, here.
It seems odd that something like that wouldn't be able to be handled through a driver update, unless Iray keeps an internal list of cards...
I doubt iRay has an internal list of cards, but Pascal is a new architecture, maybe with new low level instructions available, so iRay probably needs to be updated to handle the new architecture, and/or take advantage of any new functionality provided by it.
Nope, nothing more about
well with the new architecture maybe not just a driver , I remember the same was with Maxwell architecture , Octane and Iray was way behind with their engine soft and of course they control how things works with different cards in iray , but one week ago they was not even closer so it may take little longer as they working on it
also new reviews show up and indeed half of the hype was smoking mirrors .. they claim that 1080 was 2 x times faster than TitanX is not true according to new benchmarks and some games don't even reach 30fpm so 980ti owners was really relief
I remember when the 900 series came out reading that Octane wasn't working well on them, and many stayed with the 700 series, until drivers and whatever else had been optimized.
The price for the new 1080 is $699 in an e-mail I just received from MicroCenter.
exactly ... after they fix the soft to handle it everything will working fine but don't expect special iray driver, for that you would need to spend 4K on quadro to get the full potential of using multiple cards
I remember that , they needed to rewrite the software to make it works .I was running on 700 series on this time
EVGA have new version of 1080 check it http://www.evga.com/articles/01007/evga-geforce-gtx-1080/
also hybrid and water cooled coming soon , looking nice !
Most of the EVGA 1080's still show TBD on clocks, but the SC has
To compare, the Founder's Edition reference:
I wonder if you can make the lights alternate while in use? That would be pretty rad, man. I built mine with a rainbow color changing fan that I think is really sexy, especially at night. It has a see through window, so having the GPU and that fan cycling like that would be quite a show. Don't judge.
I don't know about the light , my X99 Mobo and case light can do pretty rainbow effects and pulse to the music lol RGB LEDs usually have rainbow colors
All the 1080 GTX cards on sale are 'Founders Editions' (i.e., reference cards).....The third-party card manufacturers had to commit to only selling those initially. The re-vamps and custom designs for the 1080's will come out sometime in the next few weeks. So while the non-FoundersEdition cards will start at a lower base price (MSRP $599), all the current offerings are the $699 founders editions (from all the manufacturers.)
It'll be the same with the 1070 GTX, when it hits stores on the 10th.
Urrrggghhh... So do I buy a 980ti for my new build, or wait and buy a 1080? All I do with it is render, right now I have a 960 4gig.
I'm lost.
How urgent is the build? Or, more specifically, how long can you sit on your hands before punching the 'order' button.? I ended up building a new system last January (2015) and didn't get an Iray-capable video card until August. And it was NOT easy to wait.
Things should shake out in two or three months on the 1080 front.
Indeed.
Could someone explain hybrid vs water cooled please?
Seriously, I'd wait.
Either until the 980ti drops a decent amount, or the 1080 is proved to be worth the cash for rendering; it is likely to be months though, and probably more likely next year.
A 970 might be a decent compromise, while you consider it.
..oh I'm content to wait for a while until this all settles down and we get a firm release date, price and specs on HBM 2 GPUs.
...supposedly there is a 4.92 release, though not sure if it is a beta or not as the DIM also updated and erased my password so I can't log in thorough in to check.
Nvidia doesn't have Iray working for the 1080 yet, so Studio 4.9.2.70 won't have the 1080-capable Iray.
I would image we'll see a 4.9.2.7x or .8x update for Studio when Iray supports the 1070 and 1080 cards, even if they're working on the 4.9.3 updates.
...think I'll just go back to considering a pair of Titan-Xs for now. They at least work with the current release of Iray and should give me enough video memory for handling the rendering load of most (but still not all) of my scenes. Definitely gonna need that 10 core i7 and gobs of quad channel memory for rendering scenes that exceed the Titan's memory.
I have an ASUS GTX 780ti CUII OC and it has been very good. So this new ASUS might be in my distant future: http://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/ROG-STRIX-GTX1080-O8G-GAMING/?_ga=1.122268363.1945739852.1462468196
It has the rainbow light.

Hybrid is the same size as the original and have water cooling for the GPU and Air cooling for Memory so both and you can jusr plug and play and ready to use, Water cooled is only with water block and you need custom water cooling system to make it work , Both are super clocked
General Release is the same 4.9.2.70 the fastes DS-iray yet , but this is not the one that will support Pascal A.
That was before and mostly it happening on Air cooled systems, nothing will reduce your lifespan if you use water cooled as the GPU will never get as hot, it will last longer than Air cooled thanks to low temp . , it is super clocked as all other versions on the market other than the standard , most processors and grapguc cards are made today for that to get most of it . , all Boost technology overclock the processor and GPU today and totally safe as long you don't mess with the overclocking settings and run it on the edges with hot temperatures that is the #1 enemy .
I am running my overclocked processor and GPU at 35-37C 50% cooler than on Air only
P.S Each time you start your computer you decrease the lifespan it is natural process , things wear off with the time , it is not made for last forever and if you going to use your GPU and CPU for 5 years you got the best from that at the best speed it offer if you lucky over clocked or not , but there is not guaranty for anything as everything today is overclocked more or less .
yeah I'm considering that too in the builds I've been looking at at least we know two titans are good for our passion and everyone seems to say it's the cores that matter interesting thing prior to release everyone was saying how much better the 1080s were to every other card including titans but in the latest reviews they're still comparing them against the 980s/980 ti and how much better they are but are not saying anything or comparing them at all against the titans could that be a hint at there is not much of if any advantage of them they did rave on about being faster but that maybe only if overclocked something I wouldn't want to do cause doesn't that reduce the lifespan of the card? Another been reading is even an nvidia tech head said the ones that'd see more advantages in these new cards really are those currently using lower end cards as well as being future proof for vr and other stuff whereas those with the 980s and up probably don't really need to upgrade to 1070/80s unless they have to have the newest and bragging rights
...when it comes ot overclocking, for some reason, the line by the character Tyrell from Bladerunner keeps ringing in my head.
"The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long"
Cath,
I have a 970 at the moment and I was planning on boosting it with a 1080. It sounds like this is not a good idea unless I reduce the 970 to driving the screen only?
Cheers,
Alex.
Not that urgent, I'm waiting for the last of the parts from Newegg, and I'll probably have the OS installed and the computer up by June 6. Right now I'm rendering on my old i3/16gig/960/4gig system and as long as I stay away from, oh, Forest Superior and Fern Lake it does okay. But I've got some woodland episodes coming up in a couple of weeks...
