Hi

It has been said if you have 2 graphics cards in 1 machine, you can use 1 graphics card for display and 1 for rendering.

With laptops nowadays having NVIDIA Optimus technology, would the above still be possible? Could Octane use eg. GT425M for rendering and Windows use Intel Graphics thus avoiding lag in mouse movements?

Thanks,

Currently both GPUs need to be nvidia with nvidia drivers (it's required as we need CUDA and opengl interoperability support, which needs nvidia drivers on both gpus)
