Hi! Using Houdini 18.5.462 and Redshift 3.0.37, with 2 GPUs(RTX 3080). When submitting a job or modifying job properties, if i try to assign a single GPU, i can’t select GPU 1.
No matter which GPU i select within my job properties, Deadline always fires up the render with GPU 0.
I tried putting the GPUs per task to one even though the documentation says that selecting a GPU device or device list overwrites this parameter.
Here’s a log of a submission attempt.
