Issue 9. OctaneRender does not see all GPUs
Sometimes using more than two video cards causes Windows® and the NVIDIA® driver to register all cards, but OctaneRender® does not see them. You can fix this by updating the registry. This involves adjusting critical OS files, which we do not support.
- Start the registry editor (press the Start button, then type "regedit" to launch it.)
- Navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
- You will see keys for each video card starting with 0000, then 0001, etc.
- Under each of the keys identified in step 3 for each video card, add two DWORD values: DisplayLessPolicy and LimitVideoPresentSources, and set each value to 1.
- Once you add these to each video card, shut down Regedit and then reboot.
OctaneRender® should now see all video cards.
