GPU

Post by darkboonies »

Robin,
Does SC 3.1 use or require a GPU? I am shopping for a new laptop to use for SC capture of occultation video and imaging. I am wondering which GPU to get.
Thanks Warren

Hi,

right now SharpCap does not deliberately make use of the GPU, but in future versions (3.2 etc) I am considering the possibility of using it for processes like debayering RAW frames and high speed image processing.

Even with future use of the GPU I wouldn't let it influence your choice too much - that sort of use of the GPU would be lightweight compared to gaming use and even the sort of built in GPU that Intel and AMD processors have would be sufficient.

thanks,

Robin
