Hi there,

I have my new AMD Radeon Pro W7800 graphics card installed (mainly because of Blender and Radeon Pro Render).
Does Houdini take advantage of that card (as OpenCL device) or should I just stick with Blender?

Thank you and best regards,
Dalibor

Yes. To verify, go to Help>About Houdini and look for any occurrences of "OpenCL Platform".

Great, thank you, John! By which tasks (simulation, rendering, etc) does Houdini use OpenCL devices? I understand, that for rendering with Radeon Pro Renderer I need Indie version in first place, but what about the other computational staff?

It is all on a node-to-node basis. Unfortunately I'm not aware of any document that lists which nodes are accelerated with OpenCL.
