Mac version GPU question

thomasp · Oct 2018

Just wondering if Toolbag makes use of both of the GPUs in the current Mac Pro (AMD-based D700 / D500) for baking etc? Do you have any support for that or is it merely a question of what Metal supports internally?

Hey Thomas,

I asked our engineering team and we do not have specific support for multi-gpu setups for macOS. So unless the OS has something built in to handle this (we assume that it doesn't), you'll be restricted to a single GPU.

Thanks for clearing that up Joe.

I dug around a bit and it seems this setup uses one GPU for the display and the other one as a dedicated compute module (through Open-CL). A one-off design from Cupertino I'm sure you are busy working on an implementation for!
