6 GPU in Unity - using mining rig for rendering in Unity

[unity_639CB6BA96039FA33DE8]

Hi guys, is there anyone who can advise if it is possible to use more than 2 GPUs (nvidia) for Unity? I’m thinking of using a mining rig, which is running 6x 1080Ti. Is it possible to utilise all of the cards for rendering one scene in Unity? Anyone tried SLIAA / Hybrid SLI / AFR / SFR?

Thanks

some info,

How well Unity does scale with SLI?

I’ve briefly checked the docs and there does not seem to be an API for using multiple GPUs or even listing them outside of resolution dialog (maybe I missed it).

So, to utilize mutliple GPUs you’d need to do CUDA/OpenCL programming which is quite different from normal unity programming, is not really unity-specific and is not covered in the docs.

Unity used to have support for multiple systems rendering together but the last release supporting it was 5.6. From my own research the best solution is a middleware product called MiddleVR (primarily focused on VR but capable of being used outside of it). My best attempt to find prices suggests thousands of euros at a minimum.

Thanks a lot, looks usable, actually I need this for VR
