no, vram only gets used by the card it's built in.
but 6 gb vram is quite a lot and can't be compared to cpu ram.
Means, if your scene uses like 15gb in Vray that doesn't mean 6gb is not enough for the scene in Redshift.

If you have two 6gb cards, does Redshift consider this as 12gb of RAM or only 6gb?

    Last time I checked they were more expensive than two separate

        What about the titan z series? Are they out yet? They could
        probably pack quite a punch :)

            I second that, the 780 with 6gb (~2300 cores vs ~2800 of
            the Titan)  is currently the biggest bang for the buck.
            Make sure to get the one that adheres to NVidias reference
            cooling design to get rid of the heat at the rear instead
            of injecting it into the pc housing, as the other, cheaper
            one from EVGA does.



                hey,
                the titan black is very fast, but considering the
                benchmarks
                (http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html)
                the 780 isn't lame either, and the 6gb version is
                close to half the price of a titan.
                so if you want a bargain that's still fast, I would go
                for the 780 6gb.

                Hi, now that Redshift is officially out and running
                smoothly, I´d like to ask you guys what
                Graphic Cards for best GPU performance would be
                optimum for an I7 stream core?
                I´m taking a look at:
                EVGA EVGA GeForce GTX TITAN SuperClocked 6GB GDDR5
                384bit, Dual-Link DVI-I, DVI-D, HDMI,DP, SLI Ready
                Graphics Card Graphics Cards 06G-P4-2791-KR
                
<http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperClocked-Dual-Link-Graphics-06G-P4-2791-KR/dp/B00BL8BX7O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1400517384&sr=8-2&keywords=nvidia+titan>

                But if I recall, there were some threads that were
                posted about the performance of the Quadro K4000 vs
                Titan.
                I can afford something of 1k cost ($1000) but before
                buying I would like to ask if there´s a better
                (cheaper) option?

                Like you all guys know, I´d like to take these
                considerations with softimage and later on the year
                transition fully to Modo 801.

                So what are your thoughts / recommendations?
                Thanks for sharing.

                David.
