Output resolution limit

I already posted this in the plugins fb page.
I have to render a still at a very large resolution. After starting the render nothing happens. Is there a limit in terms of resolution? I tried with and without 'out of core' function.
Any help would be appreciated.

The render resolution is limited by the amount of free GPU RAM. Your image at 17700x5900 needs at least 1.7 GB of GPU RAM only to store the floating RGBA frame buffer. It is easy that your GPUs don't have this amount of free RAM available.

You should try to disable the GPU used for display and don't use any kind of render passes.

Try with a little less resolution to see what happens.

Hi Juan,

thanks for your reply. I'll try that now with disabled passes.

When disabling passes, the render starts.

Good to know that this happens because of insufficient VRam.

Thanks for clarification!
