Hello   Dr.  Hoopes

Does it mean that in Beta version 7,  there is no GPU capability.  But  stable version 7 still support the existing GPU capacity..   Is it correct?

Hi Frank,

 

We still recommend this since freeview benefits from having a fast GPU.

Subject: [Freesurfer] whether freesurfer version 7 still support GPU

Hello   Freesurfer team

 

I checked the freesurfer version 7.0.  It says that "  but for now you should know that some features are not present in v7 (QDEC, GPU-capability, and recon-all -make)."

 

 

But from the hardware setup, it still needs  Graphics card: 3D graphics card with its own graphics memory & accelerated OpenGL drivers.     

 

This makes me confused.    Since version 7 does not support GPU anymore, why does it still need the Graphic card?  I found GPU may be helpful for some abnormal brain such as large ventricles. It may speed the calculation time.   I do not know my observation is correct or not.  

 

Thanks

 

Frank
