GPU recommendation

I don´t have a NVIDIA GPU. Can you recommend one?

This primarily depends on your budget. If you are looking for a used/new GPU, the price range is ~60$-600$.

• The DepthMap node requires a minimum Nvidia Compute Capability version is 2.1.
• If you want to use GPU Feature Extraction the minimum Compute Capability version is 5.2.

You can find a list with Compute Capability versions and Nvidia Models here

• If money is an issue, one of the cheapest and oldest supported graphics cards would be the GeForce GTX 460 with 1GB, 384 Cuda cores and Compute Capability 2.1 from 2011. However I would not go for such an old GPU if you don´t have to. (Note: We did not personally test such old GPUs for compatibility. Also the computation time will me longer than with a newer GPU)

• For ~150$ one can get a still decent NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050Ti (released in 2016) with 4GB, 768 Cuda cores and Compute Capability 6.1 for example).
