Hello,
I just bought a new pc with 2xRTX 2080 super, with a connection between them (like SLI, I do not know much). When I am rendering octane uses only 1 of them.
How can I enable both? I use octane plug in for blender.
Thank you guys!

Hi , I had the same question today.
You just enable any extra GPUs in the Device Preferences, under Octane Server.

Hi,
They seem to be active but only one works for rendering.

If you are using Free Tier version you will be limited to one GPU available for rendering

Hey,
It is a studio license. I updated the drivers to 442.59 but still not working.
Is octane compatible with nvlink?

RTX is available since Octane 2020.x version.
Octane is compatible with nvlink since version 2020 as far as I remember.

It looks like both are available for rendering. Check your GPUs using GPU-Z or in task manager when checking GPU performance switch to Cuda.

They are working! GPU-Z shows them working properly!
Could you inform me about the LiveDB and how it works? I cannot find it at the Editor Type options as it used to be in the past!
Thanks for your help!

Go to in Blender's main menu click Window > Octane DB
Select a material and right click import.
