Multi-GPU - OpenGL texture sharing?

bwheaton · 08-28-11, 11:52 AM

I want to try, for instance, the eVGA 460 2Win dual GPU board on Linux. The catch is, I don't want to run in a specific SLI mode, I want two separate TwinViews, but I want the textures (and ideally, VBOs etc.) to be shared on both GPUs automagically.

Will that happen? Any options using the Multi-GPU setting that let me do that.

FYI - twinview set 1, with two monitors will have two fairly low res (non matching) resolutions, and the other twinview will be two highest res outputs, including dual-link resolutions.

Thanks,

Bruce
