What type of stonefs system are you using? I’ve used an inferno with a very nice fiber stone array, and it was playing back 2k fulll frame at 20fps.. Enough to see if things are going together. After using both inferno and flame, I really liked the inferno I was on, but it was of course, top of the line. It was definitely much quicker than the flame I was on, I was able to put more layers into comps. I did test drive an Octane 2 with flameHD, and that was wicked fast as well, much faster than the flame on Octane that I was on previous.. Is that the system you are using, or just an Octane 2 with no HD card?
