1 Hi,
2
3 Happy new year! :)
4
5 ...before I make my GENTOO box unaccessible to me ... ;)
6
7 For rendering with blenders new Cycles GPU based renderer
8 I want to setup my box as follows:
9
10 Rendering should be done with the GTX 560 Ti nvidia card and
11 the "normal" desktop (aka X11) should be handled via the
12 GT 430 nvidia card.
13
14 Both cards are already inserted into the box and seem to be
15 recognized since lspci reports:
16
17 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 430] (rev a1)
18 09:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GF110 [GeForce GTX 560 Ti] (rev a1)
19
20 Nvidia-setting also reports both cards the 560 Ti one is recognized as
21 GPU0 the other one as GPU1.
22
23 Currently X11 uses the GTX560Ti and the GT430 is "idle" (has neither
24 a "display-" nor "rendering-job").
25
26
27 How can I move the "display-job" to the GT430 ? How can I urge X11 to
28 exclusively use the GT430 for its purposes?
29
30 Thank you very much in advance for any help!
31
32 Best regards,
33 mcc
