Well, if I understand correctly, RS does Distributed Monte Carlo, which
is a bit different from Octane's Pathtracing. So you're not going to get
an apples-to-apples comparison between the two. Now, I have Octane as
well, and in my opinion, RS beats it soundly on modest hardware, both in
performance and workflow. As others have said, the mere fact that RS is
so well-integrated into Softimage is a BIG DEAL. I can't wait for
multi-GPU support.

How is redshift compared to octane?

Welcome to the "pro" card market... I only use quadros because
that's what the sells we use ship with... Long gone are the days
when people cards were worth their sticker price

For the quadro, well it was bundled with the workstation (HP
Z620). It's no problem if the quadro is more expensive and
produce better performance. It becomes a problem if they are
really bellow game cards.
Your gtx has more than 400 cores while the 4000 has 256...
They are supposed to be stronger when working though...

The last one is what i currently have. as you can see, the
quadro's memory bandwith, cuda cores and memory interface
are below the gtx. But you have bigger vram which means
you can cram more into the scenes.
Speed wise, given the differences it might be slower at
the actual rendering, but we're talking gpu rendering here
so i'm not sure if it's going to be that much noticeable.
Do a render with both scenes and post your times in the
forum. Then we'll know better how hardware affects the
performance.
To be honest, i always found quadros to be extremely
overpriced, but maybe that's just me.
