    CPU vs GPU

    Posted by Matiss Jansons on July 15, 2020 at 8:42 am

    Hi,

    I just noticed that when rendering with Maxon Cinema 4D S22, my CPU is being used and not GPU and it takes forever to render an image.

    Is there any way to switch it up in some settings in Cinema 4d or my Windows 10 settings to use GPU instead?
    I’m using Dell XPS, 2019.

    Any advise is highly appreciated!

    Thanks!

    Regards,
    Matiss

    The Standard and Physical rendering engines are CPU based, they were programmed to use the CPU and would have to be rewritten to use the GPU. The ProRender engine uses GPU, Redshift uses GPU as do a number of other available renderers.
