Damn that is a shame, got an ATI card too and was thinking of getting a 2nd to really push the boundaries.

Loving this product and would be genius if it did start to use the GPUs more.

Hi all, been out of rendering for a few months due to work. treated myself to a Radeon HD 3890.

Fire up AMD system monitor and then kicked off a render, CPU maxed out, GPU 0%.

I was hoping that the GPU would make a difference and the SH3D was optimised to use all hardware. Am I missing something ...

Is there a way of doing this in 3.0 beta ?

Cheers

This image has ...

Agreed I do have a few machines running at all time with low utilisation that could have a client loaded on them a la SETI at home
