Hey all,
Apologies if this isn't quite a home-server topic, but I generally trust getting solid technical information borne of experience over here, instead of the typical "just enough knowledge to be dangerous" responses over on Reddit and the like
.
I'm considering leaving an RTX 3090 in the 3.0x4-wired secondary slot of my motherboard, to use solely for additional raytracing horsepower in Octane Render (which has pretty much linear scaling with multiple GPUs)... and otherwise use only a new RTX 4090 for everything else. This is using Windows 10.
Give than the 3090 will be idling a lot of the time (potentially for weeks/months between projects), and would never have a display connected, would it naturally go into a low-power state, or is there a specific way I can manually set it into some kind of "standby" state, short of physically pulling the card when I'm not using it?
