Does Twilight support external graphics cards?

We have not tested it, but it stands to reason that external graphics cards should work. Although, it will not help with rendering phase it would help with NVIDIA AI denoise if CUDA enabled, and with display of rendered image and post-processing.

Thanks. Rendering doesn't use the GPU?

Generally I see the caveat to ask developers if the their software can utilize external GPUs.

I have got to get much faster renders.

Twilight doesn't currently render with GPU. It uses GPU for display of image, post processing image, and for AI denoise plugin.
