Hi all,

I'm interested in figuring out the distribution of pixelshader support amonst our users.
Please vote what kind of GPU you are using in your main blender workstation. (eg not secondary pc's/rendernodes, but the machine where you work on graphically.)

Thanks!,

I have an ATI Radeon X1950pro 512mb AGP, it doesn't fit into any of the catagories you've listed. So I checked the X1050, as it's the closest

You make my skin tinkle. :D

Does this mean that LUX might get support for rendering on videocards?

I got a HD4870 (512mb), I think this beast can be very good for rendering.

You gonna use this perhaps? -> http://www.khronos.org/opencl/

Hey,

Hold on to your hats, it's just for some opengl improvements to the GUI i'm working on.
Good outcome though, the nvidia 8+ series is very popular, and is also the easiest to program for, and test for since i've got one too...

I voted GF 8/9/10 but I should probably also mention that its only a GF8400 GT (only 64 MB ram), so really not that good..

Problem is that ATI has astonishingly bad OpenGL drivers... So be sure not to assume anything and do lots of tests!
