this card is $79 bucks can it be used with a larger cuda card load the scene on it and the larger cuda like a 560 assist in rendering? will octane allow you to decide which card to load the scene on ever?

Yes you can have Octane running on multiple cards and nominate which ones they are.
The thing is that the same data is loaded in each card so the limiting factor is the card with the least amount of vram. If you have a 4gb card along with a 1gb card then your Octane scene can only be less than 1gb.
If you have a std GTX560 then adding a GT430 would cut a 10 min render to about 8.5 mins.
They are not powerful cards.

yes i know its a weak card wanted it to load a heavy scene and a 560 or 580 to do the rendering but apparently that wont work since it goes by the card with less memory to load the scene onto
