Ertaro, nice!!!
What made you change your CPU, as no one here suggested that at all.
I am curious how you decided to try that, just experimentation?

Sorry for long wait for an answer.
I read about lanes and see Smicha's build, and understand where is bottle neck.
But i still have problem(
I use 2 amfeltec clusters: 1 card inside and work on pcie x16, and another 7 outside and work on x1.
If i send scene from cinema4d to render just to inside card -- it's working good.
But if i send scene to all cards -- appear errors and and computer completely freezes.
What could it be?

Hi ertaro,
have you untick the "Use for tonemap" option for all the pci 1 gpus in the Devices tab in c4dOctane settings?
Selecting devices for tonemapping
Via the preferences, it is possible to selectively enable/disable devices used for tonemapping. These devices will still be used for rendering. When no devices are selected for tonemapping, rendering will continue but the viewport is not updated. We introduced this features to work around issues with devices connected via a slow bus (e.g. in GPU extenders).

Hi ertaro,
sorry, I'm not an hardware expert

Have you tried with only one cluster at a time?
Do you have the same behavior also with Standalone?
