I have 2 gtx560 Ti plates on the computer, and I have a 9800 gt card saved, I wonder if I can call this the 9800 GT PCI-E x4 slot, because it is the only slot that is on the motherboard, I wanted to make the 9800 gt only for the monitor and the other two for the Octane, but I am in doubt if I can connect to the 9800GT pci-e x4 slot and enable the BIOS to boot from this slot, my Gigabyte motherboard has this option to start the x4 slot , x8, x16.

Hi, regardless of the slots is it possible to setup octane to use every card or none.
For example you use your 9800 gt for display you could render with one 560, with two 560 or. if you like with one 560 and your 9800 gt.
Or with all three, but make no sense. :)
This is not possible with the demo version.

Cheers, mib.
