Hello....
I just updated my system, with 2 gtx 690
How much memory sould the Octane render status say ?
It's kind of strange ..... It only say 2000, is that right ?
With 2 gtx 690, when all cards are active, that sould be 4000, yes or no ?
Can anybody help ....
Thanks

Hi, GTX 690 share it´s 4 GB RAM and GPU memory is not summable so 2 GB is correct.
I have a 4 GB and a 1.28 GB card, if I use both I can use 1.28 GB.

one physical card contains two cards "glued together" 690 is a dual GPU & Octane see that..
as scene should fit into every GPU (loaded in vRAM) You will see 2gb (less) of it & 4actuall GPUs listed =) so everything is as it should be =)

Ok.. That's clear...
If in the future, I'm going to use the network ability ,with an other pc that has for example 4 titans and activate all of them in octane, how much memory I'll will be using 6gb - 3gb or 2gb
Thanks.

Hi, if you use your 2x 690 + your 4 Titan you have 2 GB for Octane but really fast.
If you use only 4 Titan you can use 6 GB for Octane, nice for bigger scenes.
Take a look to the GTX 780 6 GB, nearly as fast as Titan and also 6 GB but a lot cheaper.
