Dual GPU general settings

Hi, I’m new here and I have a technical question. I’ve finally managed to build my dream dual GPU PC. Here are the specs:

  • Threadripper 7970x
  • 2x RTX 4090 Rog Strix OC
  • 128 GB RAM

Are there any settings in Blender that I need to adjust to fully utilize the hardware components? I’m referring to the general settings. I know that each project has its own settings. I do my renderings in Cycles (OptiX) on Blender 4.1.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

What i have seen on youtube, just turn on both cards in optix and blender does rhe rest. I envy you :drooling_face:

Try the search function at the top right of the ba.
I remember seeing a few articles about dual GPUs. :thinking:

As somebody pointed out, just enable both GPUs in the Optix tab and leave the CPU off, if there is such option.

You could also run some tests of your project files. Under performance tab there is a checkbox for “use tiling”. You could do a few runs with it being checked off and on with varying sizes of tile. Let’s say try the 2048px and work your way down to 1024, 512, 256. See which option produces the fastest result and stick with it.

Thank you all for your advice.
