Cuda Erroe and Poser crashing

[bpzen]

Hi Paul

Never had this issue before in fact never had octane or poser crash before. Toady I tried to render using my 2 Gig Card (I have 2 cards 2 gig and 4 gig that i use simutanously sometimes) I am getting the followign error then poser exe crashes. I treid both 2012 and 2014 poser same results. I ahev a strange feeling it may be a hardware issu eas teh 4 gig card is workign stand alone fine.

I jsut installed the latest test build and see if it solves stuff.

The script is telling me total mammory req is 1130 meg abotu half the 2 gig cards capabilites

Hi

The cuda error indicates that one of the cards (the 2Gig card) is running out of memory. If you are also using the 2Gig card as your display adapter, then other things will be using up memory. You can switch off Window Aero, etc to save memory, but the easiest solution in this case is to just render with the 4Gig card.
