Interesting thread, is Octane optimized for the GTX 600's series of card?

oops, that was s typo. It's a GTX 680 with only 1536 cuda cores.

thats a nice machine!
you said you had a geoforce GTX 960. do you mean 690?

if so, that is over 3000 cores!

I'm rendering on a 6 core i7 3930 overclocked to 4 Ghz, so Arnold
is using 12 threads. With AA set lower the DOF is very noisy. But
you're right, maybe I could lower the diffuse samples a little.

mind sharing that scene ronald? did you set the AA to 10 because
of DOF? cause on a still image i wouldn't use that high of AA
with that high of diffuse samples.
as you knew, with more optimizing you probably can get better
result. but octane is pretty awesome to be able to do what its
doing for you, and with the graphics card having sooo many
little gpu processors i think it will always outperform arnold
in a scene like this.
so, how many threads did arnold use? cause if you only have 2
core proc then i dont see that being entirely fair. i see the
value of octane and a graphics card purchase over an arnold
license and a machine with the same number of processors as in
your graphics card.

Arnold took 2 Hours and 10 minutes with 5 Diffuse bounces
and AA set to 10. Setting the diffuse bounces to 16 as in
Octane was just slowing Arnold down too much.

Still some fine noise in the DOF, and weird aliasing
artifacts in the high contrast areas around the windows and
the lights.
