Hi Frank,
We still recommend this since freeview benefits from having a fast GPU.

Subject: [Freesurfer] whether freesurfer version 7 still support GPU
External Email - Use Caution
Hello Freesurfer team
I checked the freesurfer version 7.0. It says that " but for now you should
know that some features are not present in v7 (QDEC, GPU-capability, and
recon-all -make)."
https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/dev7beta1
But from the hardware setup, it still needs Graphics card: 3D graphics card
with its own graphics memory & accelerated OpenGL drivers.
This makes me confused. Since version 7 does not support GPU anymore, why
does it still need the Graphic card? I found GPU may be helpful for some
abnormal brain such as large ventricles. It may speed the calculation time. I
do not know my observation is correct or not.
Thanks
Frank
