Cuda vs OpenCL

[larex39]

Hello i would like to ask if both rendering technologies supoort the same thinks. I want to use ATI cards but i am not sure if everything newin vray3 is and will be supported also for opencl

Thanks

CUDA is for nVidia cards, OpenCL is for AMD cards. From our tests with the latest versions of everything (V-Ray/drivers/hardware) things seem to work more or less fine on AMD.

Best regards,

I understand that both technologies are for different brands, my question was like if you will be devloping both cuda nd opencl to support aways same features in future

For the moment, this is what we are doing, yes. But is seems more and more likely that they will separate at one point. One can just do more stuff in CUDA right now.
