How is VRAM across mutliple cards calculated?

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.
