hello! simple questions...

i have a 570gtx 1,5 gb ram, so my scene can't be bigger than 1.5 gb.
if i buy another 570gtx this means i can load 3gb scene?

last question: will i double my render speed with 2*570gtx?


thx!

You'll double the speed if You add second exact card =) but You will only have as much of available ram as Your card with lowest amound of vram - so if You hooked monitor on one of them, You will actually have 1,5Gb - 0,3Gb (depending on resolution) available =) as scene should fit into every card =)

Is there a possibility of overcoming this limitation and have RAMs of each card sum up or is it considered very unlikely?
