how to find nodes by name

Can’t find how to do this, even searched for MEL scripts. I was given a scene with over 3000 objects in it and I need to locate some problem nodes. I get the shapeNode names of the nodes but I can’t find them manually. Is there a free MEL script or some simple MEL I can use to find specifically named shape nodes?

Multiple GPUs with Maya

Hey guys,

I ‘ve just installed a GFX285 on my Mac Pro 8 cores 2009 on the slot 1 (with 2 Dell u2410 connected to it) and the GT120 on slot 2 (since I plan u start using Resolve). I’m quite new to Maya (I’ve been mostly doing compositing stuff in Nuke/Shake) so I’d like to ask u guys a few questions!

I noticed that the render time with Mental Ray remained the same after I installed the GFX285 and was a little dissapointed since I thought the render time would decrease with the new card.

How I can make sure that Maya is using the GFX285 and not the GT120? Do I need to configure something in Maya to have a gain in performance? Is it possible to use both cards together? What’s the best way to set this up?

Cheers
