James, PyMOL can use multiple CPU cores to create ray-traced images. PyMOL does not ray trace on the GPU. If you enable use_shaders then you're getting graphics that are as good as ray tracing but without shadows or antialiasing. So, if that's okay for you, then calculate your viewport size, disab

Der Pymol users! I wounder to know if it possible to increase rendering rate mainly at the expense of the GPU usage. At my desktop with core i7 and 6 cpu (12 cpus in the hyper-threading mode) I've spend ~ 2 hours to render image consisted of ensemble of conformations (~ 30 aligned pdbs) using onl
