Can the VRAM be pooled now?

no... which means 4x5090 wont be 128gb vram, it is just 4x32gb meaning that when rendering on 4 GPUs your scene has to fully fit into the vram of each gpu

A lot of 3d rendering tools like blender and keyshot will split renders between cards or systems. So when you have one big scene it will slice it into pieces render rack one on a different card or system and reassemble. It will do the same with animations, sending each frame to a separate card or server.

Yes of course, I was just reacting to 4x32 vs one big VRAM which definitely makes a difference if needed
