Read an interesting assertion that Revo Scan will not utilize an NVidia GPU if the CPU is AMD.
Doesn’t wound reasonable to me, but I am unable to verify on my own.
There’s no performance penalty for using an AMD CPU with an NVIDIA GPU. The GPU will perform as expected regardless of the CPU manufacturer.
I wonder who said it can’t run GPU ? It is the first time I ever heard about it and lots of users use ADM and GPU with MetroX.
To be clear we talking about Revo Scan 5 MetroX and not Revo Scan as the last do t use GPU acceleration at all .
Hello,
In RevoScan 5.5.3 (not MetroX), menu File > Preference, there is a checkbox to “Enable GPU accelerated rendering”.
It is GPU rendering for the viewport , total different function , has nothing to do with GPU acceleration for scanning.
On Reddit, it’s MisterPeppery.

I believe the same person as Mister Pepper here ? Because from last post on Discord there was some issues on his system where his CPU only made below 40 frames per sec , so that below the average .
Good CPU need to run at least 47 frames per sec to be able to handle GPU acceleration data as well. Just graphic card at itself will not do it . It needs good carrier for the data.
The graphic card in question is not good choice for the function and very much on the edge . Nothing to do with the card itself but the driver they are running on as that is a key here.
Hopefully Dev.Team find a way to support better Nvidia Quadro cards in the future but only for those that are still supported by Nvidia .
Modern GPUs faded out the line between both line of cards already, as it becomes more powerful .
I am the same person who made the comment on reddit, but my comment wasn’t that an AMD cpu would cause issues, only that with an AMD gpu (rather than an nVidia one) you would only be able to use the cpu when scanning. Admittedly I shouldn’t have made the comment where I did because it was in response to somebody listing what I now realize was an nVidia gpu and an AMD cpu part numbers. Unfortunately my mind is still stuck in a time when AMD only made gpu’s and I commented without looking up the part numbers. That aside, sorry for any confusion and I’ve edited my original post on reddit to try to clear things up there as well.
