Hello. I have an HP Pavilion Elite 240f running with an ATI Radeon HD 5570 graphics card with 1 GB DDR5 graphics memory.
I’ve wanted to test out cycles with my computer for quite awhile now, but I could not figure out how to operate cycles using my computer’s GPU. I could not find the option to switch between CPU and GPU, only finding I can switch between supported and experimental feature set, so I thought my computer does not support rendering with GPU. After some research, I figured out my graphics card does not support CUDA, but I did find out my card does support Open Cl. According to an article I found, if I enable OpenCL on my graphics card, I will be able to use my computer’s GPU to render images in cycles. I could not find full instructions on how to get Blender to render images using my computer’s GPU, so how can I enable Open CL on my graphics card and get it to work with Blender?
Also, based on my computers specs, is it even worth it to configure my computer to render using GPU?
