Gaspar Potocnik Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I've been trying to find an answer for this reading through the forum but couldn't find a concrete answer. Does Vectorworks and/or Vision get any benefit from a system with multiple GPUs? Does any even support it? If so, is there any rule? I would guess same brand and Model would be preferred...

Diego - Resuelvector Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Hi, currently Vectorworks does not support multiple GPUs, so is better to have a big one. Quote Link to comment

Vectorworks can not utilize more than a single GPU. Vision is capable of taking advantage of multiple GPUs configured in SLI. Quote Link to comment

I think only Nvidia SLI configurations have been tested since AMD retired CrossFire/CrossFireX. Quote Link to comment
fuberator Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Hi Waking up an old thread here. I have 1070 card in my Vision workstation and I want to upgrade it. Will Vision be able to use multiple different GPU's?. I have a 1070 now and would maybe add a 2080, or should I get the exact same card again, so the GPUs are identical? thank you Quote Link to comment
herbieherb Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 SLI requires the same GPU. The performance would be at most twice the weaker GPU. So combining a 1070 with a 2080 would not make sense even if it would work. Quote Link to comment
fuberator Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 @herbieherb thank you. So another identical 1070 would make the most sense then? Quote Link to comment
herbieherb Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Yeah, that would make sense. Especially since the 1070 is still one of the faster models and is well equipped with 8GB VRAM. I would certainly look at used ones there as well. You can save a lot of money there. Just make sure that you are not limited by VRAM. The model must be loaded as a whole into the VRAM of both cards. The fact that both cards together now have twice as much VRAM does not mean that you have twice as much available. Nevertheless, the additional shader units can bring better performance to Vision. How much that will be, I can't say, though, because I'm not using SLI or Vision. Maybe another user here has some experience? Quote Link to comment
fuberator Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I am trying to figure out if I can fit another card on the mainboard I have, if so I will get another identical 1070 (ti) and post my findings here too my Vision machine has 1x: ASUS 90YV0BI0-M0NA00 ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Advanced on a: Asus ROG Strix B350 Gaming Motherboard Socket AM4 ATX Hopefully this mainboard can deal with it. I have spent the whole day trying to confirm this, for an old school mac user its quite the jungle out there. Quote Link to comment
herbieherb Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 As far as I know, none of the B350 boards is able to run SLI. Quote Link to comment
