Production Render: GPU rendering possible?

[Uhlhorn]

I’m new to V-Ray. And I have a question:

Is it possible to render on a GPU with the production render?
(Does it make sense to buy/build an eGPU for the iMac?)

What we call production renderer and RT CPU share pretty much the same code.
RT GPU, on the other hand, is a completely separate implementation.
We aim to get the two (CPU/GPU) to render the same image, but this is an on-going effort, so results will differ at present.

It's not possible to render an animation with RT GPU in V-Ray for MODO currently.
But you can render a single frame by just starting RT GPU CUDA and waiting until the noise is cleared.

Thank You. This information helps a bit.
