We are interested in Redshift too, just wondering what is the
performance different between having 2 titan in one machine vs 2
machines with 1 titan each?

On the economic advantages of redshift or other gpu renderers.
My current workstations are Mac Pro 3.1s which are left over from the
company I shut down in 2009 (bootcamped into Windows). Essentially
worthless from a CPU standpoint. Putting a single $1000 titan gpu into
one of them makes it more efficient at rendering than any modern
16-core $8,000 workstation running any CPU ray tracer. Putting 2
titans in them is like having my old 162-core blade server renderfarm
without the $5000/month electric bill. Not to mention all the IT
overhead and license costs.
I have never seen a single piece of software (in concert with the
astonishing graphics hardware that is now so cheap and still getting
cheaper) have such a cost-reducing impact.
Plus they are fanatically hard workers and great communicators.
