hello everyone,

here is a matter of configuring my graphics card GTS250 1Mb
I see the tab marked CUDA DEVICES: GEFORCE GTS250 (0 COMPUTE 11)
and when Octane calculation, as it marks information:
GEFORCE GTS250 (0) 19Mb/1009MB USED
Is the graphics card is used by you?
The graphics card uses its full capacity?

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, the card will be used at its full capacity. The line you highlighted indicates how much of the memory on the video card Octane needs to render your scene.
