Render Node using More Ram Than Host in DR

[maru]

The reason I asked for task manager screenshots was that maybe the numbers in there could tell us more about the issue. What I mean is the "performance" tab, which is showing different kinds of memory usage:

Will open it shortly and press render again and get those screenshots - apologies I though you wanted screenshots of the processes tab.

Could you also check if the situation is exactly the same with Corona Renderer 1.7 Hotfix 1? Thanks in advance for testing! https://corona-renderer.com/download/
Please make sure that Corona Renderer 1.7 Hotfix 1 is installed on all computers, and that DR server 1.7 Hotfix 1 is running on all of the slaves.

Finally got round to doing this - these are taken from a scene I'm rendering as I type - both on Hotfix 2.

Could you post screenshots from the master and slave showing the "Performance" tab with "Memory" selected on the left, like in the screenshot I posted previously?
So far it really does seem that 3dsmax is using more RAM on the slave than on the node, but maybe it's because more is available on the node. Those numbers may give us a better idea of what is going on.

Will do this when i’m back in the studio.  It’s worth noting this happens on EVERY scene i work on.  Even on scenes that don’t use maximum RAM.  It could be 8gb on the host and 16 on the slave.

Will get the screenshots as i say

Did anything every come of this?

I have the same thing. Master is using 30 odd gig and node is using a lot more.

Just came back to this thread as I'm still having the same issue and came back to see if ever got resolved.  Turns out I never got round to getting those screenshots.

Anyway it's still happening.  Master using 30GB (with multiple applicated running) - Node using 60GB (with no other apps running other than DR server)

I'll grab the screenshots first thing in the morning.

Why wait til the morning eh,  here they are.
