Hi,
I am using Octane for Cinema4D now, with a TitanX Maxwell.
I am thinking on adding another card to my system, to have even lower render times.
I have 2 questions, related to the use of more than one Nvidia Card with Octane.
I would like to know, If :
A) can I "mix" my TitanX Maxwell , with a newer TitanX Pascal, on my system ?
Will that combination work well and double the speed ?
Or will the generational differences from the two cards affect the performance in a negative way ?
I would like to know if maybe using just another TitanX Maxwell, instead of a Pascal,
could be better , faster and smoother for Octanes calculations, etc.
B) Also, about the amount of memory on the cards, just to confirm: as far as I remember reading somewhere,
the card with the smaller amount of memory in you system, (used by Octane),
will determine the maximum available memory of the GPUs available to render a scene. Right ?
In other words, if I want to keep my available GPU memory at 12Gb, I should not buy/add
another card with 8 Gb, because that will limit the available memory to render scenes on 8Gb, right ?
Should I add another with 12 GB to maintain the memory available of the GPUs, on 12 Gb ? Is this right ?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Gabriel
