As OctaneRender does not use the CPU for rendering, a fast multi-core CPU is not required, but it does significantly improve scene-loading speeds. GPUs from the GeForce line are usually clocked higher and render faster than the more expensive Quadro and Tesla GPUs.

Texture limits and power efficiency ratings also apply depending on the GPU microarchitecture.

This renderer also requires a minimum of 8 GB RAM, and recommend one is 16 GB or more. Regarding the Operating System, Octane currently supports all major platforms including: Windows® 7 or higher (64-bit), Linux® (64-bit), and MacOS® 10.13.6 High Sierra (NOTE: 10.14 Mojave and 10.15 Catalina do not support NVIDIA CUDA).īesides, OctaneRender requires the latest CUDA 10 drivers and a CUDA-enabled NVIDIA video card with support for compute capability 3.0 or higher. With this in mind, iRender will help you to explore the computer hardware giving the best-bang-for-the-buck and reveal the most Powerful, High-speed servers that we are offering for Cinema 4D with Octane render.

Although Octane can take advantage of GPU cards to speed up the rendering time significantly, designers will need a well-rounded and optimized solution that is capable of supporting all these GPUs and make full use of the power of this powerful renderer.
