Requirements for GPU rendering in Cycles..do I meet them?

General Forums Blender and CG Discussions

I see that “Device” is not present under Render options after I’ve selected Cycles as the renderer…I presume my hardware doesn’t qualify? What is the minimum hardware to get this option?

I have a 2012 Mac Book Pro, 2.5ghz i5, 8GB of RAM, Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB

Thank you!

You need a Nvidia GPU that supports CUDA. I’m not informed if OpenCL is working yet with it.
An Intel integrated card is not enough sadly…
