Headless with AMD Radeon cards and Nvidia in network?

I've recently upgraded one of my Macpro's 5,1 to Mojave. As this MacOS version does not support CUDA and Nvidia anymore, I would like to know if the so called "headless" mode is already implemented in the C4D plugin? I have plenty of CUDA rendering power in my local network on MacOS and Windows and would like to be able to use it also for live previews on this Macpro.

My questions: Is this currently possible? My main GPU is now an AMD Radeon RX580 8G. Could someone shortly explain how to set this up? I've enabled network rendering, but live viewer seems not to care of the external GPU's. I 've already searched in this forum but didn't find any explaining information...

Hi,
sorry, not yet possible to mix Metal and CUDA GPUs at the same time.
Mac Metal is still based on 2020.1.5 SDK, we need to wait 2021 SDK for both Metal and CUDA, to be able to mix them in rendering.

ciao Beppe

Ciao Beppe, thank you for getting back! Sounds cool, hope to get this mixed environment up working soon. Looking forward to see first development versions of 2021 versions running together!
