        although i do have an indigo lifetime license, i don't think i'll be able to use this for a while.. my desktop has an nvidia 8800gt in it and i'm not sure of two things.. 1) if that will work with indigo gpu and 2) if i can upgrade my 1st gen macpro to one that will..

        the newer macpros can handle it but i'm not in the market for one atm.. gotta get a new laptop first.

          Jeff, lycium's posts on the indigo forum suggest that your card should work fine with it. Get testing 😄

              I also have an 8800GT. And at work an Quadro 3800. Both are listed on nVidia's site under CUDA GPUs. Though I expect performance will differ quite a bit.

              I've so far not been able to settle on an unbiased render engine. I've stuck with VfSU. But the examples Indigo shows of is quite interesting.

                  An 8800 GT works fine when running Arion Render (another GPU based renderer) here. So I guess it should work as good with the new Indigo.

                      Hi there guys ......i'm looking at this tread and..i think i'm totally lost.
                      I really want to be an indigo master ..But it's so slow for the deadlines i get in my job ..so no chance to use it.I've seen that you mention some envidia grapic cards and GPU stuff ...What it is all this GPU about?? ..how will this make indigo faster??...i have a NVIDIA GEFORCE 7000M and AMD ATLON X2 ( i guess two cores) 3gb ram...is this gonna be enough to have a significant difference when using the new indigo??
                      I'm sorry guys but i'm an Artlantis user and all this is totally new to me.

                        Basically the GPU has quite a lot of processing power locked up in it, but its only good at doing certain sorts of calculations. By utilising this power Indigo can go a lot faster in certain situations (namely exteriors which arent too complex i.e. no caustics, SSS etc.)

                        Unfortunately you need quite a modern graphics card and i dont think yours is up to the job, so you wont see any change using the GPU version of indigo.
