HP Sauce Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Oddly enough our office has been looking into this recently. Not paintballing but GPU vs CPU render times. Would we notice a vast (ie 50% minimum) increase in render speed if we swapped out our little Radeon x1550s for a Quadro class card? Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Only if you use OpenGL rendering, which does use the GPU. Even then I wouldn't buy a Quadro card. All other rendering modes use the processor. Nice link islandmon! Quote Link to comment

M.CH Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 These guys at Astra at the University of Antwerp in Belgium have been getting their heads round GPU processing: http://fastra.ua.ac.be/en/index.html They have produced an 8 parallel graphics card supercomputer. Is this the future?? By the way this has already been posted Quote Link to comment
