Any help ? Does cuda work only on some specific solvers ?

Yes it's only used for PhysX, and only if you enable it.

The normal bind solver uses OpenCL, not CUDA (although they're very similar).

Hello,
What a great plugin! Thank you!!
I have tested the cloth simulations for last few days and when Cuda collisions is on the results are great but it is really slow and difficult to iterate the results.
What I found is its best to work with Cuda off and turn it on only for final. Is there better workflow you could recommend? Also my GPU is only working at max 5% - is it normal? What would make things faster? more GPU's? faster 1 GPU? I currently have only one nvidia 1080 TI GPU.
Thank you!
