Topic: What's the difference between setting GPU or CPU as rendering mode?

When you reset to defaults, it gives you the option to select either GPU or CPU as the rendering mode, which seems to be separate from GPU acceleration? Does one use the either the CPU or GPU for mainly processing interpolation or something? I notice selecting GPU uses more demanding settings. hmm

GPU and CPU profiles sets. They are different. For different purposes: to use with and without GPU acceleration.
And you are right. They make different CPU load at the same PC with the same GPU acceleration option value.

The auto-detect upon installing svp gave me GPU rendering I think. It allows me to watch videos at decent settings on my very low end PC (1.5ghz APU processor), with gpu acceleration. I actually re-installed SVP after factory restoring my PC today.
