Hi,

I am facing a problem when Blending Textures during Tiled Model Creation.
I have 2 GPU's, one with 4gb of vram, and one with 16 gb.
Both GPU's are being used in earlier stages of the Tiled Model creation.

However, when Metashape reaches the Blending Textures stage, it reverts to CPU only, as the 4 gb GPU doesn't have enough ram(○~5 gb needed).

What I don't understand is why it just doesn't continue on the 16 gb GPU only?

Right now it takes ages, even on a i9-11900K with 128 gb RAM.

Tried rerunning the blending, this time only with the 16 gb gpu selected in settings. now it run the blending fine on GPU, but the overall process is now measurably slower, as I am only using 1 GPU throughout.

(bumping this thread)

I hit the same issue and reported the same problem, but no feedback from anyone from Agisoft.
