GPU Support

Post by Mulliganaceous » Sun Jan 01, 2023 11:03 pm

I recently purchased a new laptop with an NVIDIA Geforce GPU.
Does Stella support GPU acceleration? This would be tremendously useful for performing GPGPU and rendering complex polyhedron and polychoron quickly.

Stella uses OpenGL, so any card that supports OpenGL will provide hardware acceleration. nVidia cards are generally very good for that. So yes, your GPU should make Stella render faster.
