It means CUDA-accelerated binaries/recons on the GPU are no longer supported
after freesurfer 6.0. I will make that clarification in the wiki page. Sorry
for the confusion.

Hello Dr. Hoopes
Does it mean that in Beta version 7, there is no GPU capability. But stable
version 7 still support the existing GPU capacity.. Is it correct?

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
