Hallo,
First of all I want to say hello to the forum and the octane/otoy community.
Was not quite sure where to post my hardware specific question on this forum... hope this is the right spot
I have not so much experience in using a GPU render like octane and all the hardware "stuff" that comes with it. so I hope somebody can help me with my question.
Right now I am using a GTX 780 graphics card with 3GB of Vram and I want to buy a second GPU. So, my question is:
Can I buy for example a GTX 980 with lets say 6GB of RAM and just add it in Octane ( like in the Modo plugin under "cuda device settings" - add 2nd device )? And render with the power of 9GB ?
Or do I need to have two same Graphic Cards with SLI two use the whole potential ?
and if so will be than the old 780 useless? and octane will not address it?
thx
