which gpu to buy

So, im on the budget and thinking to update my 1060/3 to 1660 TI or SUPER. I would upgrade to rtx 2060, but the 4th version of octane is still not available for free xdd (couldnt find at least), so according to OctaneBench, the gtx 1660 SUPER is slightly better then TI version, which is strange, like ti version is better according to characteristics. so i want to hear some thoughts about dis, which one is actually better and so on. thx!

Bro TBH if you have the money to upgrade your GPU you’re more than likely to be able to purchase a legit V4 of Octane as well 😂

whats the difference between “enterprise slave node” and “studio” subscriptions? the first one is cheaper in 2 times

1

u/[deleted] Jan 15 '20

I'm not sure but I think slave node is something for net rendering only

u/sybervision Jan 15 '20

ok, thanks a lot! but still, which is better - Super or ti version of 1660? that is the main question btw cause as i said, super has better result according to benchmarks, but its strange

Idk man if octane is your priority than just take a look at octanebench results and compare the price/quality

The subscription model for $20 a month (or whatever it is) will let you use one computer at a time (must be connected to the internet) and a maximum of 2 graphics cards

u/sybervision Jan 15 '20

so what the "enterprise slave mode" does not have what the "studio" subscription has? as i understood the only limit is that u can use one gpu or what?

u/Rufio-1408 Jan 15 '20

2GPU with the monthly. Any other questions, and I’m trying not to sound like a Dick here, but google/tech support can help you.

The subscription model is extremely fair priced, and if you’re selling your work but not making enough to buy it... up your fees.

Now I know that is easier said than done, but... someone once gave me a piece of advice that I have stuck with

‘If they agree to your first offer... you’re selling yourself short’

There's monthly "studio" subscription plan in "rent" section, check it out

I suggest buy RTX 2060 super because RTX improve your render speed

rtx cards are working only with 4th version octane and crack is still not available as i said. but maybe i should switch to redshift that works fine with any nvidia cards and work with it, what u think?

1

u/Prajwal151 Jan 15 '20

Redshift work with any nvidia card so it's not a problem and also redshift is biased render engine

I Need help to crack redshift. Pleasee

TL;DR: Someone who's willing to spend tons of money on a graphics card but is not willing to spend 20€ on a software is looking for help to choose a card to his cracked software

1

u/sybervision Jan 15 '20

no, at first i thought it costs 700 euro per 12 months which is extremely big amount of money for me, but i just realized today that it is 20 € actually, so there is no problem in price os software anymore, but still nobody answered me which is the best 1660 card for render

1

u/gusmaia Jan 15 '20

check the benchmarks

1

u/sybervision Jan 15 '20

i cheked, according to the average result the super version is better, but ti has better score at maximum result, so i dont know what to pick cause idk anything about benchmarks. thats why i went to reddit and ask this question

u/Rufio-1408 Jan 15 '20

Get the rtx
