Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
previously there were two graphic cards installed in my Gentoo box: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Geforce GT 430 |
| 6 |
Geforce GT 560TI |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
The first was used for desktop purposes only and the second was used |
| 9 |
only by Blender as "render engine". |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Then the Geforce GT 560TI went crazy and died and had to change it |
| 12 |
with another one, a Geforce GTX 960. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I grepped through /etc and checked for "560" and similiar to find |
| 15 |
things which need to be changed. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Reboot. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Rendering runs now faster, which means that Blender has found its |
| 20 |
new "render engine". But... |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
The GUI of Blender starts lagging... |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
The desktop "feels" the same...but I cannot tell, whether it is |
| 25 |
supported by the first or second graphics card, since the 960 may |
| 26 |
be capable to handle both...dont know for shure. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Nvidia settings recognizes both cards...from the thermal readings |
| 29 |
I would guess, that the GTX 960 is definetly used for rendering |
| 30 |
purposes...but I think using the desktop will not heat up either |
| 31 |
card...;) |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Is there any way to check, whether the current setup is working as |
| 34 |
wanted (GTX 480 for desktop only, GTX 960 for rendering only) and |
| 35 |
whether to "full power of the GTX 960" is available for rendering? |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
I cannot get rid of the feeling, that I am driving with brakes on.... |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Thank you very much in advance for any help! |

Best regards, |
