Ok. Now I Understand.
I have GTX 580 Classified with 3GB of ram...
And I have a 590 too...
But It only works with 3GB if I disable GTX 590.... If I enable 590 my memory size decreases to 1.5 gb.
So.... If I get more speed I loose memory and my heavy scenes crashes...... If I get more memory I have to pay that with speed lost...
I´m very disappointed right now...

Off Course
I bought a GTX 590 hoping to use more cuda cores to get more speed.
After that I bought a GTX 580 to increase memory size for heavy projects...
But I Can´t use my GTX 590 card with 3gb of memory because octane will read the memory of 590 instead my 3gb 580.
I didn´t know that
I lost money and time!!

Well, You could read a bit before going to buy something =) that's why this forum is here - to help You my friend, but noOne will ever force You to raed it =) that's Your own choise..
I believe You can try to sell Your 590 if You fell so disapointed and buy second 580, but in general 1,5 gb is a nice place to start with - a lot of simple studio setups will fit to that amount of vram nicely.

At least you can plugin your monitor(s) into the 580. By doing this you have the VRam consumed by the system and 3D apps only on the 3GB of the 580.
So the whole 1.5 GB is fully available. That is definately an improvement of VRam.
The other good thing is if you render a scene that is bigger then 1.5 GB, octane usually wont crash. It will keep on rendering on the 580 because there is more headroom.
This is a good thing.
I think a combination of 580 and 590 is a good choice if you need speed and you are able to simplify scenes if neccessary. If not, go with multiple 580s (3GB).
