GPU Limits Tweet

[lightvu]

Can somebody explain something to me?

We have plans on adding up to 7 GPU's to a second machine for faster renders with Octane at the office. (We own two lightwave seats)
A second subscription license for Octane has been purchased and right now there are only 2 GPU's in each machine.
I just read that when using a subscription license I would be limited to those two GPU's...

What's up with this?

V4, when stable, will replace your current subscription builds with 20 gpu support, network rendering, cloud rendering and all plugins. Boxed V3 licenses get updated with support for up to 200 GPU network rendering, nvlink and more.

Ok. Thank you kindly for the reply Goldorak.
Is this something that you can see happening in 2018?

I don't have any ETA yet, but yes, I suppose that all these changes will be available once we finish with the current Octane 4.00 beta cycle, something that should happen this year for sure.

Thanks,
