Hi,
I'm looking for new computer and I have a question:
Is it a good idea if I insert three Graphics cards with 1 GB for each? Octane will work with 1 GB or 3 GB?
Octane will be able to combine the CPU calc?

Thanks!
Have a good new year!

Octane will work with 1GB as same data will be copied to each GPU.
The processing power will combine almost in a linear way so you'll get 3 times the speed compared to a single GPU.

I think the biggest thing to worry about is the heat generated.
