    I asked a question and get the answer... within 3h, I bought it the same day, tested it and... it does what was promised - around 2x faster! Speed is Eric's thing and K-Cycles - worth every cent!

    Incredibly powerful tool that not only vastly increases my productivity but also doesn't break the bank. 11/10, can't wait to see how performance continues to improve with future updates!

    I wish it were available for Linux, but it is still a great upgrade for the Windows pc. Using a (Cuda) GTX 1080-ti GPU, I tested this software with an interior scene. The standard Cycles took 26 minutes at 3000 samples. I then opened the same project in K-Cycles and used the default-Highest Quality setting... it took only 18 minutes at the same 3000 samples. I then analyzed the details of both images overlayed in Photoshop and found that the K-Cycles render was definitely a better render. All the creases and folds in the fabric were retained in my scene when using the K-cycles but were lost (smoothed out) if rendered using the standard cycles.

    Used E-Cycles for all of 2020 but hard to justify the price. K-Cycles gave me the same performance + a crazy fast viewport for a fraction of the price.

    Wow... it REALLY does increase the speed by 2x! I My scenes... usually 5-20 vehicles lots stuff like furniture and lights. scnee was rendered with Highest Qualtity in 2K on an 3080 i9 10th 64GB 3200RAM...took just 5 minutes plus it feels more stable. Would be nice if they add a preset save button in the render scene tab so you could save different presets ;-)

    Wow, I just rerendered an archviz scene I did yesterday that originally took about 5 minutes (1500 samples, 1500x1200 resolution, RTX 3080) and just bought k-cycles today and it took 2 minutes at same settings except 2000 samples. Will have to do more testing as this is my first initial test but its good so far. Price is very reasonable.
