So, for those of us using Daz Studio, yeah Iray rendering means Nvidia GPU.

Enter ZLUDA:



Looks like it works with Blender, for you Blender types.

As for Daz Studio, well no one has tried it yet as far as I can tell...



The big issue appears to be lack of Optix support, but ZLUDA is just out of the gate, so who knows how that will pan out.

But, at the very least, you AMD GPU Blender types have a new option to consider! As for myself, I"m on the Nvidia bandwagon for now (GTX 1080, RTX 3060, RTX 3090) but am curious about AMD APU support... I have 4 AMD APUs in two laptop and two desktop rigs, so color me curious...

I have a ryzen 3 2200u (vega 3 gpu) in my laptop and I am curious to see if ZLUDA will have the support that deserves. Now the project is totally open and it will remain open due Intel and AMD gave up the develop. Community can bring to life great works when open project are interesting like that. I hope ZLUDA project will not be discarded, it can also mean a better competition on the GPU market in the future wit also lower prices.
