How many video cards does Daz Studio support

I already have 4 internal Titan XP's. I am wondering if I can speed up render times even more by adding additional external GPU's. Does Daz3d support this?

    It's Iray support that matters, and as far as I know there's no limit on how many GPUs you can use.

    Iray will support virtually any number of GPUs you throw at it up to the maximum number of threads your CPU can handle (because that is how it handles load balancing - 1 CPU thread per dedicated GPU.) SO the answer to your question is: which CPU do you have?

    In which case you should be good for up to 24 GPUs in your system (sounds fun.) :)

    In that case, "fun" may include your computer emulating a dragster engine in the few brief seconds before it spontaneously combusts. Better plug it into the cooling system of your nearest power station; I don't think putting it in the freezer will help much.
