New Computer, GPU not present in settings

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)
I recently bought a cyberpower tower in the Hopes my renders will be quicker and while a considerable help from the CPU upgrade has done some good the GPU isn't present in the advanced settings of the renders tab. Any idea? Am I missing drivers? Using a windows 10. GPU is a newer radon(I think radon I'm not at home atm). Any help is appreciated

    If you using Daz Studio and looking for Iray support I'm afraid you are not going to be able to use a Radeon card - Iray requires an nVidia-based card with an adequate level of CUDA support, AMD (and other) chips don't have CUDA support at all.

    I said that exact thing to Geek Squad and they told me it would be fine...damnit. do you have a card you recomend?

    It depends on your budget, ideally you want a 10x0 card with 4GB of memory, 6GB or 8GB are preferable, but a 9x0 card with 4+GB of RAM should be adequate (and not dropped by Iray for a while). You certainly don't need a Quadro. At least if you were told the Radeon would work you should have no problem swapping, I'd think.

    They have me a geforce gtx 1070 with 8gbs. Think it'll work?

    A 1070 is a great card, it has a decent amount of oomph and the 8gb is a good amount for scenery and textures. Myself I have a 1060 w 6gb and its a good card which I am happy with. So it would certainly power your renders adequately.

    Make sure that your power supply is adequate. nVidia recommends a 500 watt supply.

    I run a 1070 and it is a solid card for rendering and gaming if that is your thing.
