I have multiple graphics cards on my machine, but it seems IC7 does not recognize all the other cards, is it possible to take advantage
of multiple GPU cards?

If you are using Nvidia GPU's you can open Nvidia Control Panel (or AMD's equivalent), then switch to Manage 3D Settings > Program Settings and select the most powerful graphic card for use with iClone.

Be aware that using a high-end NVidia card is advantageous for iClone if you have the choice.

I set the ndvidia settings for IC7 to my 1070 but when I launch IC7, in the viewport it says 2GB (for my 640) instead of 8GB which the 1070 has.

Is there a preference order in the BIOS that you can set or elsewhere?

It doesn't ignore this setting so maybe something is not right in the Nvidia 3D Settings. Have you tried simply right clicking the iClone 7 desktop icon and choose "Run With Graphics Processor" and then select the 1070?

Hi Peter, thanks for the response ~ this suggestion " simply right clicking the iClone 7 desktop icon and choose "Run With Graphics Processor" is not available on my machine.. I am using Win 10 ~ I have tried adjusting the Ndvidia settings but to no avail, IC7 still doesn't use the 1070 that I have assigned to it, it defaults to the 640 which has both my monitors attached to it.
When I render using Octane both in Maya and Max, I can freely choose the different gpu cards and they are correctly used, so the issue seems to be with iClone 7.
