oh and finally, to debug your AOV pass in the solaris / karma XPU viewport,
On the right sidepanel in the viewport there is a Render Outputs button, that lets you pick which AOV to preview in viewport

I spent two days trying to get an RTX 4090 to render with #KarmaXPU. GPU became inaccessible after mere minutes. Was it Linux? Was it the PSU? Was it because it’s not the latest of drivers? No. Power cable wasn’t connected properly. There was a tiny tiny gap on one of the connectors. 😩
@compfu This use case was #KarmaXPU. But it's still early access in #Houdini, so I'm expecting memory leaks. I've had #Resolve chew through 19.6GB of video memory as well.
@vfxsup For which use case? We have 3090Ti for #KarmaXPU and have maxed it out as well.
