It's a strange thing happening with the plugin in 3dsmax, I sent up a question for the forum, but I reseted the scene, I made a simple scene with a cube and a daylight, and I activated the three plates, the three worked normal, but when I carried a complex scene, Gtx560ti simply does not work, only Gtx590, the mystery is this

How much does memory 560Ti have?

Probably your scene takes more than 1Gb.
GTX 590 has 1.5Gb.

But if the scene has more than 1 gb gtx560 disables the card, why is that? because when I load a scene less complex than the three usually work, I did not think it could happen, I thought the Octane seize all Cudas to process, regardless of the amount of onboard memory.

GPU can process a scene only if it has enough memory for that.
If a scene takes 1.2Gb then GTX560 with 1Gb will not work, but GTX590 will because it has 1.5Gb.

And if a scene has 2gb or a little more, mean that Octane will not work? have to work limited? will in the near future the Octane will benefit the entire memory of the graphics cards that are installed?
