Many even talk about this on the forum =) The essence of the test is to fill the entire memory of one 2080Ti so that NVLink works and starts taking the missing memory from the second video card. Since Instance doesn't take up a lot of memory - I do a Copies. If you wish, you can enable Instance and render billions, but the essence of the test is not the point. I know about the Array Tool and when I tried it - Max crashed immediately, even on Object -Display as Box. So I carefully copied using Shift so that nothing would fly out.
