Just an fyi, the quadro k4000 is around 4 times slower than a 780 gtx for redshift rendering... On Wednesday, 2 April 2014, Stephen Davidson magic...@bellsouth.net wrote: btw...most scenes, that you have already built in Softimage, will render just fine with the Redshift render instead of the

Yeah, if you're on time for a return it might be worth considering. The K4K isn't great bang for buck, it has a massive quadro label overhead to the price and it's not really that well featured. I don't know if 4x is an actual measure of the difference, I don't have both cards at hand to test nor

I've both cards and the 780 seems to be round about 3 times faster than the quadro when rendering with redshift.

What really speeds up Redshift is VRAM on the graphicsCard to avoid slow PCIe Traffic... 4GB and more makes a big difference. I select my cards with this priorities: 1. VRAM 2. GPU-Cores 3. Mhz 4. ... Good idea is a second card only for rendering: no memory used for display stuff, complete

Just double checked my test figures and it is more like 3 times, sorry for the confusion. This is on an indoor environment with a single character with hair, GI and DoF. On heavier environments/multiple characters the titan really shines. 2 quadro k4000 - 284.8 s

I have a Quadro 4000 and this has been discussed other Redshift forum. It's not bad for Open GL working, but defenetly not for rendering Quadro 4000 has around 400 cores while Titan has around 3000 cores. Also comes the Memory 2Gb against 6Gb, and I can't tell for the Mhz but overall it doesnt

If you can wait (and have slightly deeper pockets) the 780 6Gb will be out at the end of april - shouldn't be that much more expensive than the 780 according to early reports. That will be the best bang for buck card for RS, as the memory will really help with larger scenes. -- www.matinai.com

There are only a handful of specific nodes that are unique to Redshift3D. Everything else is exactly like you are used to in the Materials (nodes) in Softimage. They did a great job making it almost seamless a unique example... if you want to bumpmap some object, you would select the Redshift
