Hi folks,

Is available VRAM added from each card to the total amount you can use, or is it based off the primary card? So what I'm asking is if I have a 4 GB main card and a 2GB card in the second slot, would the renderer see 6 or 4GB?

thnx, TJ

Octane will have a max scene size of 2GB in this case.
A copy of your scenes data gets uploaded to each GPU's VRAM, so octane is limited by the smallest card that is currently being used for rendering.
