The invention notably relates to a computer-implemented method for modifying a number of graphic cards used for rendering a scene, a graphic card comprising one or more graphic processing units. The method comprises providing a scene that is already loaded in a render engine, the scene comprising at least one graphic data to be used for rendering a view of the scene; modifying an abstract graphic resource for a graphic resource of the at least one graphic data, the abstract graphic resource storing an identifier of the graphic resource for each graphic card, by adding a new identifier of the said graphic resource for each newly added graphic card; transferring, on each newly added graphic card, the said at least one graphic data already stored on one of the graphic cards.
