Thus why still use CPU for still renderings? Do you think nowadays, raytracing is faster on GPU than on CPU?

I think to use GPU power is the smarter way as to block the OS by using CPU power. Oh ok, I didn’t know that they are producing a GPU version as well.

It`s different from the CPU version available today. I couldn`t find any info about the hardware at the Brazil Interactive video, but in the V-Ray presentation they are using a GeForce 285 GPU.

Generally: -The development may turn into RT rendering. But please also consider that this uses more hardware power and alot more energy. I guess today we have to be carefull with energy and it's better to think how we could use less of it than to create technologies that uses more of it. Kind regards Alain Hm and again:
