Flavio Della Tommasa “Obviously in terms of performance I believe the data speak for themselves. On 8 images, 2h each, I lost a day of calculation. With E-Cycles, in just over 2 hours I solved everything.” Original post here
Vitor Balbio, creator of Toonkit and BakeTool:
“I tested the Intel denoise node and It’s gorgeous for fast previews (and probably final renders too) in internal images. By itself already worth the investment!” Original post here
“Impressive speed-ups”, “support is good, all issues (specific to E-Cycles build) I have found and reported were quickly fixed” Original post here
“The Speedup is amazing” Original post here
“91s to 45s with a RTX 2070” Original post here
“3m:09s to 1m:42s, needless to say, I’m impressed!” Original post here
