Out of Core Question... Tweet

Hi all,

I'm just wondering if Out of Core is busted in 2020?

If you look at the attached image it's not showing as being used, which is causing me a few problems (very heavy scene, crapping out while rendering when everything is in the scene)

(GTX 2080 Super, Latest Studio Drivers)

Thanks

The out of core feature works fine, as far as I know. What is the used/free GPU memory while rendering this scene?

Thanks,

Hmm....full screen IPR is saying 5333/989 which in of itself is baffling. Doesn't Octane not see the full memory of the Graphics Card? Cause this card supposed to have 8gb.

I've managed to 'fix' the scene for now by editing/remodeling a lot.

Some GPU memory is not available, especially if you are using the display GPU also for rendering. Windows and the 3D applications use some GPU memory themselves, memory that is not available for rendering.

Aaah, gotcha. Thanks
