Hi im getting problems to export a scene to octane, my gtx560 ti says that have 1.5gb memory and in octane 2.52 its says that i have 735 mb space available, how can i get my 1.5 gb or 1 gb atleast to get my scene working please help!!, how octane or what causes it sucking my memory space to much.

Try closing other applications... Other 3d applications will suck up a fair amount of resources and what not... if all else fails, reboot and start octane cleanly...

Also, no need to put your title in all caps and 5 exclamation marks... people are extremely helpful and prompt with their replies.

sorry to sound like exaggerated topic about my problem but its really frustrating to try like about 1 hour and there is no solution i found, thanks for the fast replys, convergen i closed the aplications , but i got the next problem my scene dont show

scene failed

here´s the preference thats says 861 usable memory and not 1 gb at least or 900mb?

the 560ti is a 1gb card... your using it to display your screen so all your screen information is being stored in there..

from the screenshots, it seems like you are also using windows aero... which chews up more gpu space... also, from the size of your screenshot, it seems like you are running 1920x1080 screen size... reducing the screen size to 1650 or even 1024 will help take down the amount of ram used... but pretty much EVERYTHING effects the ram usage... octane will never be able to allocate 100% of the ram, unless you have a dedicated display card (which alot of users on this board actually do have)... where you buy a cheap $30 card, and use that just to display your screen/s... and use the decent card purely for rendering.

does that answer your question?

how big is your obj file?

according to octane you have a 1Gb GPU not a 1.5Gb, check that you have the latest driver from nvidia, also check on the device manager that is properly recognized, it the system only sees a 1Gb gpu Octane won't see it either. Besides if it says you only have 831Mb free turn off Aero if you are using windows vista or seven that'll give you quite a lot. Any other graphic application will suck your vram, autocad, max ... and also it's been reported the latest chrome could do that. How many monitors you have?

yeah im using windows 7 64 bits i dont know if its aero windows but its the last windows 7 version, how do i quit aero or windows 7 to get more vram? im only have one monitor and yeah its 1920x1080 resolution thanks!!! convergen yeah thats resolve my help!!!! alot and my obj file is 793mb thats not a big file size. kubo i have the last drivers from nvidia and the last cuda version to run octane. convergen i will try to low my resolution monitor maybe im using more processes thats why im not getting the real memory display.
