Couple of questions...For those experienced ))

Hey guys, i am planning to start a serious octane rendering after several years in other renders.

Here is a couple of general questions.

1) Is it OK to install GPUS on my slave render farm via raisers (like for mining)? Because i am planning to use like 8 or 10 GPUs there. Will this kind of setup decrease performance or affect rendering in any way?
p.s. I mean does it really matter to octane what kind of pci connection you use 1x or 16x?

2) Do i need a separate standalone license to install an octane on my slave machine?

Thanks for the answers!
