Hi,

I was just wondering why maxwell fire has a max of 1000 threads in GPU mode?
Is this a hangover from the cpu version or is it limiting the GPU usage to 1000 Cuda cores?

I'm really trying to get a really quick and responsive performance out of the fire window similar to a real time window in Octane.

Is it likely that the fire window will have multi-GPU support when this is introduced?

Thanks

Threads only apply to cpu modes.

And, at least first version of multigpu, is only for maxwell render, not fire.
