-CPU and CUDA baking produce identical results, the differences are:
+==== Is GPU lightmap baking faster than CPU baking? ====
- * CUDA baking is usually faster than CPU baking with high-end graphics cards.
+It depends. Though CPU and GPU baking result in identical qualities, there are differences:
- * CPU baking is available on all computers, whereas CUDA baking is available only on machines with CUDA-enabled NVIDIA graphics cards.
+  * GPU baking is usually faster than CPU baking with high-end graphics cards.
- * If your graphics card is simultaneously used for the monitor and CUDA baking, the computer might lag until the baking finishes.
+  * CPU baking is available on all computers, whereas GPU baking is available only on machines having dedicated GPU.
+  * If your graphics card is simultaneously used for the monitor and GPU baking, the computer might sometimes lag until the baking finishes.
