not sure but am already out of power slots, packed!
I was mainly referring to Max in general I remember you were having some Viewport issues. It’s been a while since I submitted an Autodesk ticket but I remember they were quick to ask “are you using certified hardware” and stuff, maybe that’s not the case anymore.
I’ve been buying up used titan x maxwells for the same price as 1080’s. More ram and just as fast for the same dosh.
If you have a machine or GPU with less ram than the one with most ram, I would sell it or not use it for rendering only for view port.
where you been buying them from?
My VP issues was caused by a bad Walls & Tiles install. [quote=“Pixelcon, post:8, topic:52382, username:Pixelcon”]

But one Titan X alone needs 600w, right?
This is becoming and expensive hoppy 
titan x needs 250 W at full power, see the specs here, they recommend system power to be 600w because everything else needs power :), my 1080 uses 180w but less actually, thats at full power and idk who uses it at full power, all these new ones are pascal cards also, so they are better at power comsumption, i see users who do heavy gaming posting card usage at less and 200 w for the titan x so i guess full power is under over clocking conditions
cheaper than beefing up cpu power, in a year or two its gonna get even better, imagine you have a big job and its taking awhile to render, just run to the store, buy another card you have double the speed, triple or whatever, am definitely loving this about gpu rendering
Agreed! In about a year, I might be due for an upgrade, so a large case with lots of GPU slots, might be the solution.
No power slot left in my box either, which means I can only use one Titan even though I have 1200W.
It will be a while before we get there.. I’ve been waiting for that day for about 4 years now. I remember buying (4) of the original Titans when they came out and ran them in one machine with a 1600 watt PSU. They been sold on eBay…now I run dual xoens but still have some use for GPU rendering.
found out there are additions for that:)
what’s the issue your having really? right now many people are just doing gpu rendering and on massive projects, its already there, gpus are really powerful and scalable, i have used just a 1080 to fully render a 50 mill poly scene already so i imagine 3 more would really put me there, imagine 10 more, uff, try that with cpu
Many of the shaders and effects I use are not supported in GPU yet. Polys are not the issue, it’s textures! they can fill the vram quick and take forever to load. last time I did some comparisons a single Titan was about as fast as an 8-core CPU.
If the old titans are faster and less expensive, why make and market something slower and more expensive? That sound a little crooked.
What are you comparing the Titan X Maxwell too? The 1080? its not in the same class. The 1080 is a beast for gaming kills the Titan X Maxwell in that aspect but for raw cuda performance it’s on par with the a Titan X Maxwell.
I am just responding to saying that the Titan X Maxwell is faster and cheaper.
