Hi guys

I have just built a new machine running two GTX780s in SLI, for gaming aswell as rendering.

i know the octane manual states to turn SLI off, and i am guessing there is a good reason for it, but what i would like to know is if octane will still use the second card's cuda cores for faster renders. My old gtx680 had 1600 cuda cores, the 780s have 2300. Will octane use the combined total of both parts for super fast renders, or just the one with SLI turned off?

also curious about the cards memory. as the 780 actually has less than my old 680

Hi.

Octane will use both cards if SLI is off. Your available memory for rendering will be the lower of the two cards.
