I recently updated to a newer build and I just noticed these new "Real time" checkboxes in Octane device settings in C4D. Just curious as to what they do. I haven't seen them before.

"Added real-time mode (lightning button on render viewport). In this mode, if possible, the film buffer is never moved between the host and the device. This means that compositing has to be done on the GPU, and it also enables a "real-time" display, which will display rendered images faster. These features require more VRAM to be available. It does not have a large effect on MacOS because Apple GPUs have Unified Memory." - viewtopic.php?f=33&t=79602

But probably this is not work while using multiple GPUs
