Choosing between GPU or WARP

[lucasw89]

What should i use in the rendering options? I would like to know what the differences are.

Hiya,

 

You should aim to be using your GPU to do the rendering, it will basically be much faster. Which is why it will select your GPU by default.

 

WARP is more for a fallback, incase for some reason we fail to detect your GPU or there are some issues using the GPU to do the rendering.

 

You can read more about WARP here.

so affinity programs do use the gpu? I asked some other time in a thread if gpu have anything to do with performance (in designer mostly) and the answer was negative, so I changed my gpu for an older one.

We use the GPU for presenting the document to the screen, not for calculations / compute.

Appreciate both adding a GPU for use - nowadays it delivers a good boost in performance, and WARP option for disabling it. I have to keep GPU off Affinity because it often in use by other software (3d rendering) and cause instability.
