Footnotes

...

1 – Displacement results between V-Ray and V-Ray GPU may differ slightly because of Pre-tessellation and Cache Normal settings.

...

12 (12.1, 12.2) – No GI on Other Mattes, GI surface ID and SSS Surface ID are not supported. Alpha Contribution is always rendered with a value of 1 or -1, whichever is closer to the input. Reflection and Refraction Amount are always rendered with a value of 1. GI Amount is always rendered with a value of 0.

...

17 – The effect is not as strongly visible on GPU as it is on CPU.

18 – There is initial support for these render element on V-Ray GPU.

19 – The All mode of the V-Ray Profiler is not supported on V-Ray GPU.

Notes

...

Fancy Bullets

type	circle

GPU supports up to 16 UV sets per material.
GPU supports map channels from 0 to 15.
GPU only supports normal maps in tangent space and world space.
In some rare cases, Adaptive Lights might produce artifacts when used with V-Ray GPU within Distributed Rendering.
