MPE GPU Acceleration with a GTX 480

Question

Hi,
I added the line "GeForce GTX 480" in the cuda_supported_cards.txt file.  MPE became available upon doing so.  However rendering is faster in software than using the GPU.  Did I miss something?

Answer 1

I installed the GTX 480, added it to the text file,. Now I have
MPE GPPU available as well as MPE software available. My tests show no difference. The GPU is only used about 7% and my CPU's are still maxed out.
