Hey, After dealing with some bug reports about major speed loss we decided it's better to scarify few percent of performance on an older cards and simpler scenes (varies a bit, but it's all within 5%) than have major speed loss on higher end cards and more production scenes (up to 30% easily).
This means Cycles CUDA kernels can still be compiled with toolkit 6.5, but official builds will be done with toolkit 7.5. Dealing with 5% speed loss is easier than with 30% anyway, but honestly i don't think we'll have time for that before 2.77 release. Think we've got enough new features to compensate that :) -- With best regards, Sergey Sharybin _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
