Filter Forge - CPU and GPU rendering choices

Graham Rob robbo56 Posts: 1	Hi all, I have just purchased Filter Forge and looking forward to using it. Does the software automatically make use of GPU to aid in rendering speed? I see under options the choice for multithreading I can select multiple CPUs but no mention of GPU

That being said, when using other apps like Topaz Photo to render, setting the option to render on the GPU is almost 4x faster than the CPU.
