NVIDIA Gelato

NVIDIA Gelato rendering software will bring high-quality rendering to the masses. NVIDIA Gelato is a hardware-accelerated, non-real-time renderer that allows you to use your NVIDIA GPU to create stunning images fast.
Originally designed for the creation of 3D visual effects and animation in feature films, Gelato can be used by anyone with NVIDIA hardware to create images of the very highest quality.

Its Fast

Gelato is a software program that leverages the NVIDIA GPU as a floating point math processor. This allows Gelato to render images faster than comparable renderers, but without the quality limitations traditionally associated with real-time graphics processing on the GPU.
