"Try the demos first and then decide.
Indeed that would make sense I agree.However, I have an AMD card and it appears as though I will need to sell in order to buy a compatible Nvidia card.
I have only had the 7990 GPU 6 months so this will represent a significant Loss on my current card when I sell it second hand.
Additionally, I will have to pay to get comparable NVidia card plus the license and software.
This will be a significant investment for me if I am to start using Octane, hence my original post.
I heard somewhere that Octane will soon be compatible with AMD cards and have contacted them to confirm.
This will of course reduce my set up costs if true.
In the meantime I just wanted to know if any of you thought it had changed your life since buying it as regards realism and render times."
If you wait a few more months. Octane 3 will support AMD cards.
I've been using Octane for over 8 months now. No regrets so far.
