Quote - DDS is already obsolete and has been replaced by GPU. Bryce never could use this technology because it is not designed as a motion game engine. You would waste more time creating custom MIP textures fro Bryce than you would save by using them. Other things like particle systems, fire, water. smoke are also processed by video cards in newer games. Bryce is not designed to call these functions so having the card will not speed up Bryce any.

I dont think any render engines use those graphics cards for final production renders except for NVidia's Gelato engine? Graphics cards are more important for the realtime previews and OpenGL or DirectX views in the programs interface in most 3d programs. Even bryce's OpenGL mode can benefit from a faster videocard, only thing about it is that bryce's default wire-view is most peoples favourite and rarely anyone seems to use the OpenGL view at all. But for final renders, hardly any renderengine uses videocards. at least for the moment. I do think this will change within the next few years though.
