Hi
At my studio we are having a issue where we can’t use Arnold GPU on our gpu boxes due to there not being GPU affinity enabled on Arnold. We believe the frames are being loaded up on all four cards at once and then the cards are running out of vram. Has anyone else ran into this issue?
the error:
