Advanced Member kay_Eva Posted August 10, 2009 Advanced Member Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Just a question. I was wondering 3d-Coat will ever have Multi-GPU support. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member lc8b105 Posted August 10, 2009 Advanced Member Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I believe ATI CrossFireX support is on the to-do list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted August 10, 2009 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I believe ATI CrossFireX support is on the to-do list.If I undestood Andrew correctly, it was STREAM support...which is ATI's equivalent to NVidia's CUDA. Crossfire is the equivalent to SLI, and I don't know how it will benefit having a second card at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Shpagin Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I don't see possibility to support SLI in near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member buqa Posted August 10, 2009 Member Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 If you think for computing, then if Andrew rewrite the core from CUDA to OpenCL, then OpenCL itself will handle multi-GPU support. If you think for displaying, I think it's to necessary, as displaying of trinagles isn't bottleneck of 3D Coat now. As far as I know none of 3D modelers in the market today supports multi-GPU displaying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the aftermath of Siggraph 09, it sounds like NVidia is trying leverage multi-GPU's for it's rendering platforms...Mental Ray and IRay. For now, only games benefit from multi-gpu's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taros Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 I guess it should be a question of the drivers, in this case, the CUDA engine. If CUDA begins to support multiple GPUs, than all apps who uses CUDA should benefit of this situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
