I do not have an NVIDIA graphics card. Is CUDA available? Here are the specs on my machine’s graphics card:

      Card name: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000
   Manufacturer: Intel Corporation
      Chip type: Intel(R) HD Graphics Family
       DAC type: Internal
    Device Type: Full Device
     Device Key: Enum\PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0166&SUBSYS_18A4103C&REV_09
  Device Status: 0180200A [DN_DRIVER_LOADED|DN_STARTED|DN_DISABLEABLE|DN_NT_ENUMERATOR|DN_NT_DRIVER]

I’m searching for an answer and why CUDA matters. Maybe I missed that subject in the vids??

CUDA is only available on Nvidia cards. AMD has something called Open CL. Those are the only cards Blender supports at this time. If you don’t have one than you’ll have to use the cpu to render. CUDA only seems to matter because it renders faster. This may answer more of your questions about GPU rendering.
