Rendering with openCL

Hi, im kinda new here. Im trying to render a couple images for a school project but even though i have a grafic card installed, the render runs through the cpu. In the cycles options i see the gpu under “openCl”, but after i select and go to render again, it wont do any of the iterations needed for a render?

Im runnnig a amd radeon 6800XT gpu

Is there anyway i can make rhino run on the gpu instead of the cpu?

Hi @user2357,

Can you run Rhino’s SystemInfo command and post the results here?
