[vtkusers] How to use GPU (of a NVIDIA 8600GTS graphic card) in VTK?

[Lledo Museros Cabedo]

Hi,

 

We would like to know if it is possible to use the GPU of an NVIDIA
8600GTS graphic card from a VTK application. The VTK applications is
also integrated into MFC and it is implemented using MS Visual Studio
.NET 2003. 

 

We have read the next message in the forum:

Do you mean to use graphics hardware directly? At lower level VTK uses
OpenGL or Mesa,
and it is the driver on your system which is responsible for talking
with the hardware.

But we have seen that our application is using the CPU and not the GPU,
so is any specific driver or configuration needed to use GPU? If yes,
please could you say which one?
