I know several of you are using Redshift extensively or only now. We are looking in to expanding our permanent render license pool and are considering the pros and cons of Arnold, Vray and Redshift. I believe Redshift will provide the most bang for the buck, but at a cost of some production functionality we are used to with Arnold and Vray. Also, it will likely require an initial investment in new hardware as Redshift will not run on our Pizzabox render units, so that cost has to be counted in as well.
It looks like the most priceefficient Redshift setup would be to make a few machines with as many GPUs in them as physically possible, but how have you guys set up your Redshift renderfarms? I am thinking a large cabinet with a huge PSU, lots of cooling, as much memory as possible on the motherboard and perhaps 8 GPUs in each. GTX 970 is probably the most power per pricepoint while Titans would make sense if more memory for rendering is required. Any thoughts and pointers will be much appreciated. Morten
