For a three card setup I would plug my monitors into one card and use the other two for rendering. As Tugpsx suggests I would Activate one card at a time to determine which one the monitors are plugged into. Then deactivate the one you are using for the monitors and activate the other two without priority.

If you want to use all three then enable priority only on the monitors card but you will loose some memory if you do.

Thanks. Texture Emission. Forgot about that (bit rusty having taken a break from Octane for a month or two before the Carrara release).

Changing the scene parms to up the lighting to compensate, that's a good idea linvanchene thank you.

Could not agree more, nice one Tug

Also, imagine how much better this would be when Sighman adds animated PNG sequences ( a recent request of mine) ..
That would (if possible) bring the screen to life even more

A big thank you to you all for sharing more info regarding multiple cards, Glad I did have things hooked up as I 'should' have
