the weak point of gpu render is vmem.
if scene is too big i cannot add new mem to computer, or i reduce the scene or i change vcard...

ok, how can manage the size of my scene?
how can calculate how many memory use my mesh? voxelizzation process and more?
i think that for textures is simple, i check them with uncompressed format or in photoshop and i can understand how many memory use, but about other parts of scene?
i have some way to manage this check?

go to preferences/cuda device and you can find detailed information about the geometry and the textures in your scene

thanks a lot

The Poser plugin comes with a script to compress one, some or all texturemaps, and a number of macros for removing bump maps, or converting them to texturemaps.

Compression of textures is useless and leads only to loss of quality as Octane uses uncompressed images.

My apologies - I meant texture compression as in reduces the texturemap size (ie. from 2000x2000 to 1500x1500) to save VRAM.
