Hi,
I would like to know if it's planned memory sharing between graphics card in SLI configuration for the future releases.

Thanks :)

Hi,

This is not possible. Cuda does'nt work with SLI and you can't share memory between cards to get double the size for a scene.

having 2, 3 or 4 graphics card really increase performance with octane?
Have someone test it with gtx 480 quad sli? :)
the only solution is buy a graphic card with a lot of vram?

thanks
