[Question] Response
Is there any plans to use GPU acceleration for Path Tracing (PBR)? Or just using GPU for it alltogether?

GPU acceleration is possible for PCs equipped with expensive GPUs such as GeForce and RADEON, but it is not effective on mass-market PCs that many people currently use.

There are many other things to prioritize over factors that only benefit some people, so there are currently no plans to make path tracing GPU compatible, but if the GPU situation changes significantly in the future, we may consider it again.

If you are looking for faster path tracing rendering, it is most effective to use a CPU with a large number of cores.
