hello. so i'm starting to look at new video cards to replace 4 GTX1080ti. and have a few questions.
1. i thought i read a while ago that multiple newer nvidia cards could have their memory combined/bridged so that max memory wasn't as much of an issue as it used to be. for example it used to be individually limited by the card with the lowest memory (doesn't apply to me, but wondering if i could get away with say a set of 10gb cards instead of 4 12gb or 4 24gb cards
2. i've got my eye on RTX 3080ti any thoughts on those cards for high-performance/usability etc.
my renders are typically still-frame, however i will continue to use the GTX1080ti in a 2nd machine if that's possible as IPR helpers or simply additional rendering power for my main machine. any thoughts on that?
i will also need to do the occasional animation so i would probably split it up between the two machines or just use all available per frame. not really sure what the best approach is.
i'm sure there's some issues between RTX and GTX. plus i'm checking my mobo to see what it can handle.
thanks, appreciate any feedback. it's been a while since i researched all this and i'm relatively new to Vray GPU.
