Hey Karba why i can't display my image texture on the viewport ? It's just a diffuse material.

What is your texture statistic? How many textures do you use?

It's seem that i've reached the some limitations, rite?

Hi Karba.

has a chances to put a compatibility with multi-texture plugin in octane for max in new update version? this plugin is very helpful.

sorry for my bad english.

setting all gpus to low priority let me render a couple of frames. octane viewport works fine.
anyone with a gpu expansion has similar problems?

hi , i have similar problems but not exactly the same as yours
I use single gtx690 for egpu , everthing is good , benchmark is good , but when i trying to render final image , say 15-20min rendering , the gtx690 auto shutdown without any notice(temp is good,only 64 degree,99% usage) i thought that maybe the PSU problem(600w psu)
but...when i swith all gpu to low priority(which force gtx690 to work in 88%-90% usage,not 99% full usage)..and i got nothing auto shutdown...everything is perfect(although it would lose about 10% performance) !
so i am confused , what cause auto shutdown for every 15-20min full usage rendering??

by the way , I think the PSU provide enough power to a single gtx690 , because
single gtx690 full usage(99% usage) : 254-274W
single gtx690 low priority(88%-90% usage) : 235W

so i don't think the 600W PSU can't handle this situation , so maybe the engine's problem???? i can't tell~~

hey kevinshane
tnx for your thoughts.
I managed to solve the problem. I guess it's something wrong with the combination P6T7 WS SuperComputer - Trenton Backplane and the newest Nvidia drivers. Two many PCI bridges maybe and something wrong with the timing.
What I did is forgetting the backplane for the moment, moved the P6T7 to the aluminum frame case and connected 6 GTX 680 and 1 Tesla M2075 to the P6T7, five of them via PCI riser cables. The rig is driven by 2 PSUs (1200W / 1500W). Now the problems seemed gone. I am very happy at the moment. 3 of the cards are in PCI Express 8x mode but that seems to be much better than over the cable.
I will post a pic tomorrow maybe.

Concerning your problems:
I am not sure about that 600W PSU. Try a PSU calculator like http://www.thermaltake.outervision.com/ or something similar and count all your other stuff.
Got any errors in event manager?
cheers
