Sorry if this has already been answered, but I’m thinking that eevee is only going to make use of one of my GTX 1070s, correct? I know it makes cycles worse, but will enabling SLI speed things up for eevee? Is there a way of using both? Could I make a virtual machine that uses one of the cards and …

Hey, no eevee does not support multiple GPU “yet” [image] Eevee Multi GPU Blender Development Discussion Hi. For the moment you should use the most powerful GPU to handle the display. 18 - What PC configuration would you recommend to work comfortably with Eevee? A - …

You can use two instances of Blender for e.g. rendering out different frame ranges of an animation to use both cards simultaneously. No need to use a VM.

[image] Tedri_Mark: Could I make a virtual machine that uses one of the cards and run two instances of blender? Interesting. What VM software supports that? Anyway you remember that all the frames of an animation must be consistent. I have seen that OpenGL results may vary depending on driver…

I’m gonna make a little vid about this later. When I’m at home.

On windows with GeForce drivers its really easy. Just open one Blender with GPU 1 and then switch the settings and open another Blender. Sometimes i use 8 Blenders simultaneously to get 100% gpu load with eevee rendering. [image] Most of the time is use a titan x for the viewport (monitor is conn…

[image] YAFU: Interesting. What VM software supports that? Anyway you remember that all the frames of an animation must be consistent. I have seen that OpenGL results may vary depending on drivers/hardware. I’m not sure how consistent it would be for animation. I’m not sure that there is one,…

[image] Daniel_Paul: Most of the time is use a titan x for the viewport (monitor is connected), and render on my two 1080 TI, so i can surf the web without lag while rendering Haha, I love your titan powered web browser.

Cool! I can not test because I only have a single nvidia card. I hope that this can also be done in Linux.

Sorry no vid today. I don’t find the time. @Daniel_Paul In Windows, it’s even easier. Just right click the blender exe. [Capture] If you are on NVIDIA that is. @YAFU I am not aware of this feature in the Linux driver. I am experimenting with this but haven’t had much luck for now.

Eevee and multiple graphics cards
