I haven't seen this posted here yet. Nvidia is promoting their Quadro P6000 with 24 GB GDDR5X and the P5000 with 16 GB DDR5X. P6000 has 3840 CUDA cores, P5000 has 2560 CUDA cores...
Here's their web page: http://www.nvidia.com/object/quadro-graphics-with-pascal.html#utm_source=shorturl&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=quadro-pascal

I'll take two...when I don't have to sell body parts to get them. They cost more than my last car.
I'd be paying on them til I die.
And you still couldn't use them in iray!
...considering the M5000 cost 2,500$ I am sure the P5000 will be somewhere in the neighbourhood of 3,000$
I havent seen this thread
I must go to sleep now
$4000ish for the P6000...but oh that 24GB of memory sounds so nice...
...the current 24 GB M6000 already retails for 5,000$ with normal GDDR5 so I would imagine the P6000 wiht GDDR5X would be somewhere between that and 6,000$
My "dream" workstation is built around 2 P5000s and dual 8 core Xeons.
with a refrigerator as the tower .....
(and a nice power bill)
Hmm, you may be on to something there
A freon-based cooling system for PCs... much more effective than just water and gobs more effective than simple fans
and space for beer
Surf the web and keep your beer cold at the same time :)
well, according to what we see and hear, there will bee a 1080 ti when iray hit pascal architecture (early 2017), suposed to have 12GB ram and 3300+cuda cores
I'm running a home built water cooling system that has a 20-gallon reservoir in a small chest freezer. Quieter than fans for sure, and great temperature control. It helps to have a home machine shop!
..actually Quadro GPUs use less power and thus run cooler than GTX ones.
...I'll belive that when I see it. I remeber all the talk before the upograded 970 and 980 GPUs were released, everyone was claiming they'd have 8 GB VRAM. The Maxwell 980 TI only has 6 GB amd the Maxwell 970 is still only 4 GB.
I miss the days where all you had to do was cut one trace on a gamer series nvidia board and jumper another, and it booted right up as a quadro.
Never really took nvidia seriously after that.
Not sure if these had been posted before, but here are Puget Systems iray benchmarks on 3ds max. Useful to see how the faster GPU are less dependent on CPU configuration, especially with multiple GPU. Looks like a fast single CPU with 2x fast GPU will be the best budget option.

...I also work in Carrara which employs a biassed ray trace engine with no GPU mode.
Might want to watch for AMD Zen CPUs coming out next year. They are planning up to 32core (64 thread) processors. Probably 16 core for consumer users.
The delay in in iray support for pascal cards is preposterous. I don't mean to imply it's a DS issue, but the pascal cards have been out for a long time now, and still nothing. Volta is just around the corner and every update regarding Pascal says nothing other than "keep waiting." NVidia super dropped the ball on this one; the pascal cards are great for gamers, sure, but they're not doing anything for professionals at the moment.
..would need to build an entirely new system as my current MB has the Intel LGA 1366 socket. Don't have the resources for that unless I win a lotto.
There is now a release version of the SDK, according to the change log Daz has integrated it into a n internal or private build of DS so it is being tested. That's a big step forwards, though it's still impossible to set a release date for a version of DS with Pascal support.
Yes, but it is fair to say that the long term to never for an update happening are not the case. As to it happening in the immediate short term (next few days) that's probably also not true. Based on the usual pattern...a few weeks from when it was added. Someone said, either in this thread or another one, the best way to find out when is to watch for a new Daz Studio Pro Beta announcement at the top of the Studio Discussion forum.
I'm eager for AMD to return to the fray; been with intel since my i7 920 triple channel CPU; it's what about 8 or ten years old(?), and is still decent.
More like 7 - I built this system, with an i7 920, in March 2010 just as the i7 930, with a higher clock-speed, replaced the i7 920. I think the chips came out late the previous year.
Actually, according to Intel, the 920 came out in Q4 2008...
Oh, I didn't think I'd dithered for that long over the specs. Though considering how long I've been saying "I must decide how I am going to upgrade in the enxt system" it wouldn't be surprising.
I was surprised, too...because I was pretty sure it was later than that...like sometime in 2009. Because that was when I was looking at components for a rebuild, too.
Do remember that Fiscal Quarters do NOT match up with calendar quarters....Commonly, most businesses run the Fiscal Year (FY) from July 1st to June 30th. And the FY is based on the year in which it ENDS, so for example, FY2009 started July 1st, 2008, and ended on June 30th 2009. So Q4 of FY2008, was actually between April 1st 2008 and June 30th 2008.
Also, the release date is not the same as when it becomes available everywhere. If it took six months for the i7-920 to reach all the retailers, it might not have been available to many people until after calendar year 2009 began (Jan. 1, 2009.)
