Does KeyShot Make Use of My Graphics Card?

KeyShot's render engine uses your computer's processing power, the CPU, to deliver optimal performance. The render engine does not make use of your graphics card.

Although the graphics card has no bearing on render speed, KeyShot still needs it in order to display the user interface and for post-render effects (e.g. vignetting and bloom). Any graphics card that runs OpenGL 2.0 or later (most current models do) will work great with KeyShot. You may refer to your graphics card manufacturer's website to check the OpenGL version.
