Bug Network Rendering

[NVN]

Hi there!

we've a Problem with our firm network rendering... maybe its a bug?
We have one master (2x1080 with 8GB) and one slave pc (4x780 with 6GB+1x780ti with 3GB).

Now we have a scene that needs 6GB.....so i deaktived the 780ti in the standalone.


On my daemon installer i said "only 4 GPU's" to render.

And now octane deaktived all my GPU's except one????
If i said 5 GPU's the same.

If i said "all" in the daemon installer all works perfect but the 780ti is include

They are using Octane 3.05


The same problem is on my Network:

my PC (2x7801x760) and slave pc (1x960, 6x980)
If i said to my damon installer please take only 6,5 or whatever GPU's Octane deaktived all my GPU except on????

I'm using Octane 3.06.2


Is here some one with the same problem???
I think its a bug because the problem is on two diffrent networks?

You'll not be having all of 6gb vram on slaves. It can be reason of crashes. What's exact peek number of vram usage in master pc?

Hi NVN,
the GPU selection does not work in this way.
If you write only one number, you end up to render only with the GPU in the specific bus id.
You need to specity all the PCI bus id numbers of the active GPUs.
So firstly you need to open Standalone and discover the PCI bus id number of the GPU that you want to disable, in this example PCI bus id 3:

Then you need to write --gpu "1,2" to disable the GPU in PCI bus id 3.

damn im i idiot..im sorry, i didn't know that
thx for ur fast help.
