Yep, just meant for C4D viewport performance in terms of p= olys and particles. Haven't messed around with Octane yet, although I&#= 39;m curious about it. I've heard there are still reliability issues.

What I would do is dedicate one of those cards to being a display card and not hooking the monitors up to the Titan. If I remember correctly you can work with that configuration and let things fly.

=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 As for Cinema 4D, Octane Render is the only thing I = can think of that uses GPUs for render speed improvement.

In m= y experience compatibility issues do pop up more often with mis-matched card types.
