It's a pity that it's so hard to find a new GTX 470 nowadays. Buying 2 would seam like the best choice taking into account price/performance ratio.

suddenlty having issues with RT after switching from a quadro 5000 to 3 x gtx 580, what's the latest safest nvidia driver?
a lot of people seem to be using 266.58. Anyone using anything later?

[vlado]

What kind of issues are you having?

296.10 works fine actually.
I was testing an old scene which had one VrayLightMaterial (which normally works) however this had falloff assigned to it. I guess VrayRT doesn't like Lightmaterials with falloffs.



and this is the error

Odd; can you get me a scene for this?

hi Guys... has anybody from this scene a Result with a 680 GTX? ... I am guessing 580 gtx is slightly slower and makes in every other disziplines (working with Max or Maya) no sense

thanks! =)

I am curiuos about the 680 as well. I was thinking of going for either the 680 sli or the new and rare 690 if i could get my hands on it. It would be awesome if i could no which setup works better beforehand.

Anyone have one or the other?

I have 2 680's 4GB in SLI. works well, from what I understand they are not faster than the 580's, however, they draw less power and run cooler.
