Hey, does anyone know if it is possible to reboot a GPU without rebooting the computer? If I have a model that takes up a lot of memory, if I update the mesh to a new file after having started a render, the GPU refuses to re-render and every time I have to reboot the computer to get back to normal. Isn't there some way to just reset the damn GPU? Very frustrating.

On Linux its a simple matter of logging out of your session and the excess GPU memory is released when you login again. Maybe you can check if thats the case on Win too.

Hm...I'll give it a try. Thanks. I'll report back as soon as I can quit this render and see.
