Thank you guys. I´ll look into redshift. I´m also using Deadline 6 for farming, hope it "combo-es". Cheers. David.

There’s an “old” thread about implementing it yourself at http://www.si-community.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1948&hilit=iray But if you want to use GPU rendering in Soft I’d recommend you have a look at Redshift instead. https://www.redshift3d.com/ So to summarize. No, soft will not render any waster regardless of which card you get.

Yesterday I was talking to a coleague and he mentioned that a gamming card inside my cpu will "render" no difference against the GTX 660 I already have installed for softimage 2012, since CUDA wasn´t fully supported in that version of mental ray. So I wonder if I get the chance to install softimage 2014, how do I need to configure mentalray to use and abuse the CUDA power of the card? Will my renders go faster? Or I should definetly go the road of a Quadro card? Cheers. David.
