That should be a pretty good amount. If your dual P100 has a
secondary cache for each processor, then I think you'll see that the
modeler is about as fast with or without a background render taking
place. I've always been skeptical of the shared cache schemes,
though. If you're getting one of these, I'd be curious to know if
the modeler is painful to use while a render is going on.
