Hi everyone, first post here. I just upgraded the GPU in my 2011 iMac and I've got a 2017 macbook pro. With Davinci Resolve's ability to locate and utilize multiple GPUs at once, I was just wondering if there is any way to combine two computers (through target disk mode perhaps?) that would enable Davinci to utilize both GPUs. I just don't have $450 to spend on an eGPU enclosure and such right now.

Can't find anything about it online so I bet it's a stretch. But if not, does anyone have any idea on what would make something like this possible?

I couldn't find any info on Davinci supporting cluster computing. I don't think that is an option. Most software doesn't work with computer clusters.

Of course I couldn't picture GPU so many generations apart working like that anyway.

The only related capability I am aware of is in Compressor. You can combine the resources of multiple computers to render video.

I am not aware of any way to combine the processing capabilities beyond that, say for timeline or import.
