Iray devs said RTX cards allows memory sharing and it‘s DAZ job to implement it

Hurdy3D

 

Anonymous asked: I was wondering if in Daz3D Studio if using a pair of NVLinked 2080Ti or Titan cards allows for memory sharing or scaling for renders. I currently have a pair of 1080Ti's but can't render anything more than the 11Gb size before defaulting to CPU. I am a 3D content creator and often run out of memory withing Daz3D and would really really like a 1x+1x=2xMEMORY scenario. Is this currently possible with the RTX line up and NVLink?

Using NVLink is possible in iray in general (see https://raytracing-docs.nvidia.com/iray/manual/index.html#iray_photoreal_render_mode#global-performance-settings), but i don’t know if Daz3D supports it, as it must be explicitly enabled. So i’d suggest bringing this question up on Daz’ forum.

Yeah, I had linked that on the Pro Beta thread Dec 11 but never saw a response regarding it. Probably would have to open a ticket to get an official response regarding it's implementation or lack thereof.
