Much like NVIDIA's iRay, ProRender is not a very impressive renderer.

So no use at all? Thought from a dev point of view things would be a bit easier to implement if C4D has native AMD GPU driver OpenCL support built in already.
Meh...anyways sorry wasting your time.

Don't know, would have to ask the devs. Maybe people will take prorender more seriously now though.
