The Environment section in V-Ray GPU render is where you can specify a color and a texture map to be used during GI and reflection/refraction calculations. If you don't specify a color/map then the background color and map specified in the 3ds Max Environment dialog will be used by default. The parameters in this rollout override the 3ds Max Environment settings.

GI Environment

Section

This group allows you to override the 3ds Max Environment settings for indirect illumination calculations. The effect of changing the GI environment is similar to skylight.

On – Turns on and off the GI environment override.

Color – Specifies the environment (skylight) color. The color is ignored if there is an environment texture specified.

Multiplier – A multiplier for the color value. Note that the multiplier does not affect the environment texture (if present). Use an Output  map to control the brightness of the environment map if the map itself does not have brightness controls.

Texture – Lets you choose a GI environment texture. Note that if present, the texture overrides the specified Color.
