We don't know anything about the OP's system. Really, all we know is the OP tried the free Octane plugin and liked it. Problems in the video and sample renders may or may not have anything to do with the renderer. It makes sense to seek other reviews and maybe give the plugin a try. That last part is a hassle, but it's the only way to truly know.

The OP said he/she had a powerful system. And if they liked the free plugin and suggested that others try it, well that's probably should have been said instead of making a flawed review. For the narrow application that was stated, this shouldn't have been a review. But certainly others can try it as their mileage may vary. But for my experience, I wasn't happy with it and I paid several hundred in the initial cost and upgrades and didn't get my money's worth. (Considering I had to pay for Octane and the DAZ plugin) I know the work in the plugin was taken over by a different developer than the one that initially developed it, but Otoy offered no type of incentive to continue using it as they wanted full upgrade price for the less buggy plugin despite the bugs the current user base encountered. By that time, iray was doing much better than the DAZ Studio plugin of Octane so I switched to that and I have no real issues moving forward.
