      My question was about Eevee. From what I understood it's a GPU only engine (not supporting multiple cards rig). So when the memory limit will be reached, will it crash/freeze or give an error pop-up?

            EEVEE will render with GPU and/or CPU. It uses OpenGL. I believe if you reach the texture memory limit of your GPU it will automatically render on the CPU (slower of course). My tutorial series covers this and I provide a efficient material shader and one that is more advanced as well.

                No multiple GPUs for Eevee. Are they wrong?

                Wow. Really good catch! I just assumed that because cycles supported multiple gpus then Eevee did also. Thanks for the correction. Here's another link I found on the subject.

                Recently I have built a new workstation PC with dual GTX 1080 Ti. I know that in Cycles, each GPU renders 1 tile but I'm not sure about EEVEE. I tested it and it seems that even if I have checked b...

                      Absolutely. In fact, a GPU (or two) is highly recommended.


                      It can even use the new RTX series from Nvidia.

                      EDIT: Correction: While Cycles benefits from multiple GPUs, it appears EEVEE does not. Furthermore, it's not clear whether or not EEVEE takes advantage of the new RTX cards yet (Cyles does).

                          When will Blender 2.8 be released? All I have found out so far is that release is delayed.

                                I'm hearing sometime in Q2-2019..BUT there many people are now using it since it's been in BETA. Beta typically means all the features are locked down but there may still be bugs. I've been using it for a few months now and it's pretty darn robust. As Pete says, you can download it now.

                                Regarding DL'ing of Blender 2.8. You should consider updating your download every couple of weeks. I know this sounds silly, but it's pretty amazing how robust the daily builds are. I've yet to have to 'revert' to an older version, and I've been doing this for both 2.79 and 2.8 for quite some time now.
