Hello,
I have a GTX 1080 and a GTX 970 and cant decide what i do with my GTX 970.
1: Let the GTX 1080 work together with my GTX 970 (I could only use 4GB Vram, and i only have a Asus Z97-P Mainboard)
2: Sell the 970 and only work with the 1080.
I still don't know if its worth to keep the 970.
Thx for help. :)

In Octane 4, let the 1080 do the rendering and let the 970 run the denoiser

So if i get octane 4, i will not have those 4gb limit ram problems?
And will the rendering noticeable faster in animations when i use the 970 as denoiser?

Hi Blizz,
use your GTX 970 for monitor and OS, With Octane V4 for denoiser too; GTX 1080 to render.

Denoiser make your render quick as lightning, test yourself:
