Hey guys,

one more question for the day. Dont want to bother you with beginner questions, i will definitly check the great inlifethrill tutorials for octane for cinema4D again.

I dont understand what is the best way of working. So check this image please, this is the way I have set it up at the moment. But I dont exactly get the idea behind it. What exactly am I doing in this tab? Whats the best setting for fast working with Live-Viewer?

You only want to use priority on the card or cards you have monitors plugged into. What this does is to throttle the render on the GPU down to keep your desktop responsive so that you can use it. You can actively change the priority depending on how you want to use your computer. Set it to high if you want more GPU time to go to the render, set it to low if you want the desktop to be more responsive and you don't mind if the render takes longer.

If you have a card dedicated for the monitors, than you don't need to set this unless you want to add the card into your GPU pool. I use an old GTX460 for my displays.
