Think of all the wonderful things you could create with all of that extra energy. The tools and presets are designed so you have less work to do. That’s right! Even faster than Octane already is. This is a game changer for me.Made for Power! The Think Particle Octane Studio Kit is designed to make working in Octane even faster. I've done a few 3d batch renders 400 frames with NVIDIA's Iray render engine and the Node/ 1080Ti has increased render speed 10X to 15x from my previous speeds with CPU rendering. I haven't found how to use the NVIDIA EGPU (for rendering) and my built-in AMD FirePro 700s (for Monitoring) at the same time so any suggestions from the community would be appreciatedĬheck "About this mac " system report to confirm you are seeing your EGPU and Graphics card. Unplug all monitor outputs from Mac Pro - Plug monitor into Akito Node. See Yifanlu's notes on the “ NVIDIA eGPU support for High Sierra (NVIDIAEGPUSupport)" thread about disabling SIP but what worked for me was this:ĭownload epgu support file from Yifanlu's thread here: Restart again holding "command r" to boot into Mac OS Recovery mode and open terminal Now you need to get your MacPro to recognize the EGPU. Type password and type "y" when prompted. This script from Goalque is genius - I got it here:Īs the script runs you should see that it recognizes your Node and graphics card Open system prefs > NVIDIA Driver Manager > Graphics Drivers> select NVIDIA Web Driver Previous steps may be redundant but it worked for me.
The Akito Node should appear on Thunderbolt Bus 0Ĭheck your build and download driver from here: Install NVIDIA Graphics Card into Akito Node then plug it to MacPro Thunderbolt bus 0 - restart.Ĭonfirm Node is being recognized by computer go to About this mac> system report> Thunderbolt. MacPro 6.1, 3.5 Ghz 6-Core Xeon E5, 16gigs ram, MacOs 10.13.2ĮGPU - EVGA Geforce GTX 1080 Ti in an Akito Node Thunderbolt 3Īkito Node to MacPro connection: Apple Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adaptor, Thunderbolt 2 cable from apple adaptor into thunderbolt bus 0 (one of the bottom ones) I've done 3D renders with NVIDIA Iray with incredible results and since OctaneRender requires a CUDA enabled NVIDIA video card like Iray, this should help you out. After a day or so of troubleshooting, I successfully got an NVIDIA GTX 1080ti in an Akito Node Thunderbolt 3 with an Apple Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 Adaptor to work with a MacPro 2013 running MacOs 10.13.2.
