I'm used to lowering a renderer's CPU priority when I need to do other tasks at the same time.

Is there any way to do the same for Octane? It would be fine if I could at least browse the internet while rendering, but the browser window updates so slowly that it's almost impossible.

Have you thought of using a cheap secondary card for your display?
this will have your good card just for Octane and while rendering, even super intense scenes, you will see no slow down on anything, even navigating Octane.

There's no way to change priority, switch affinity etc. So You're left with two options: have second card or.. Have a procesor with integrated graphics =)

Cheers

That's what I thought, thank you for the answers!
