I had the same thing over here. Just be sure to have the latest NVIDIA
drivers installed. Testing RedShift on a GTX 570 atm. :-)

Hey Patrick, I downloaded the latest trail last night at home of
redshift and after the first render of just a grid it gave me the same
render error as you about not enough vram - I also have a 560TI. I
was one version behind on latest nvidia drivers - updated to latest
and redshift then worked fine. super fast strands rendering!

Hi Patrick
Did you install the CUDA drivers? All GPU renderers need to have
them before they will work.
You can have a look at Royal Render. I am not sure if they still
allow 4 fully functional trial licences.
Kind regards
Angus

So I downloaded the redshift demo...and it errors out right away
with a message about it being unable to operate with less than
256mb of free vram. All of the values other than the card type
are at 0 or 0kb. Any ideas?
I have a gtx 560 ti i believe with 1 gig. No sli setup.
I was looking to upgrade to the 970 gtx near black friday but I
was really hoping I could get a preview of redshift soon to help
decide on maybe a next level workstation card if it would greatly
help.
Backburner's server.exe refuses to run on my second computer so I
cant even try anything there and see if there is a way to queue an
mi2 file.
This is fun!

The reseller I talked with said I have unlimited

don't know what
shaders can/can't be used for the renders this way

I'm still green with all of this...but at this point
at least I don't
have to buy more from Autodesk.
I don't think that this is true, that you can render mi2
files with
3dsmax/backburner with your suite standalone license.
In any case, with your softimage standalone license you
have the
ability to run 4 satellite render nodes for free, so you
should try
that first, see if it helps.
Since you're a hobbyist, I think you should also ask
yourself what
makes your life difficult with rendering what's best to
fix it.
Adding more MR render nodes for overnight rendering may
not fix the
problem, perhaps you should go with a modern GPU renderer or
something else.
