Multi-GPU & CPU?
Posted: Sat Apr 30, 2016 11:13 pm
Two questions:
1. If I configure a machine with a mobo (Intel) GPU and an add-in (AMD) GPU to use the mobo GPU for the display, will Fusion (and Resolve) use the add-in GPU for rendering? I realize it's not recommended to use two different brands of GPUs, so I'm not asking for that, but I'm assuming this will give better rendering and/or memory performance for the add-in GPU, since it's not dealing with the display (at least 500 MB/s bandwidth just for screen refresh).
2. How do I get Fusion to use the CPU in addition to the GPU for rendering frames? It's just sitting idle. I tried a bunch of settings in the OpenCL entry of Global Settings, but nothing seems to activate the CPU, even if I choose just the CPU. (Of course, I'm not certain whether I have to do something more than pause and resume a rendering to see the changes.)
Thanks,
Rick
