Heya folks,

Maybe I'm stupid but I cannot see the NVLink "blue bar" kick in once things spill over the VRAM limit. I can verify that NVLink actives as the scene doesn't render without it (with OOC disabled) and I'm getting those pesky NVLink related errors relatively quickly. That said, I still don't quite understand where the blue bar for NVLink should be in the c4d version - And likewise for the orange OOC one.

They seemingly don't show up in the LV and they also don't show up under "device settings". Am I just being thick about it?

The reason I'm asking about it is to kind of know what to except performance wise when dealing with huge geo heavy scenes.

Much appreciated! :)

I posted a request about this in the C4D request section a couple of months back. It would be great to have the blue bar in C4D. I am not a programmer but I would think it would not be that difficult to implement since it already exists in standalone.
It is a great fast way to get a visual on NVLink usage.

Must have missed your post then. Appreciate you filling in the request, I really think mirroring this feature from the standalone would be useful.
