Double Video Card (2 x NVIDIA 1080ti ASUS Strix) and 64GB RAM Corsair

I have noticed that the Vegas at the time of performing the Render does not use the 2nd video card and the RAM is also very low use even with 20GB videos and uses over hard disk.

I found in previous forums that Vegas did not natively use 2 video cards on a single screen since I have a SAMSUNG Monitor 49 inches and when changing the allocation of render by GPU I have problems in previewing the videos.

I've also read that Vegas can not use more than 32GB RAM. Is that true?

Hardware Info:
i7 8th Gen, ASUS MAXIMUS FORMULA X,
64GB RAM DDR4 Corsair DDR4
2 x ASUS Strix GTX 1080ti

Samsung Monitor 49 Inch QLED Curved

Software: Vegas Pro 15

I was able to get Vegas to use both of my GTX570 cards but that was under Sony VP12 & 13. The trick was to set the card that is in the second slot for timeline acceleration and when rendering with the old MC AVC codec and CUDA, both cards card were used. Also the two cards could not be in SLI, just two separate cards. I don't the have cards anymore and I also don't know if that will work with VP15 and maybe NVENC.

Here is a showing activity during render on both GTX570 cards.

Thanks for the information of OldSmoke, at this moment I see that VEGAS PRO 15 can not use more than one video card in real time, even if NVIDIA SLI is activated in the NVIDIA application and does not use more than 32 GB of RAM. What if I have been able to appreciate having activated the SLI Software and Rendering in Magix NVIDIA format is that there if you use the two video cards to Render, but for the rest not.
