My feeling is that it's also a bit faster in lux, and the progressive tile seemed even more convinient, but it has some flaws right now, however I don't have a proper correct comparison to be completely sure about tile rendering being actually faster for real.
Anyways I like it more in general, but we don't use it because it has some problems, like leaving unfinished tiles or non properly finished tiles or parts, and of course, not supporting Light Tracing
I'm working on this topic. Random/Sobol samplers will have 2 different modes: a progressive one (like now) and a tiled cache-friendly one (to use mostly with out-of-core rendering but not only):

No, I work always on Linux. The Linux automatic builds are missing CUDA support because we are lacking a Linux maintainer and I haven't yet found the time to update the compilation process for Linux.

I've downloaded latest build and run it. It shows me on the Blender scene:
Cant compile. Nvrct_builtins64_101 not installed.
What does mean?
Specs: C2Q Q6600 and Gtx 1060 6gb

The file Nvrct_builtins64_101 is in [bin] repertory of BlendLuxCore.
One possibility is to define a new PATH and add the repertory [users/user/appData/Roaming/Blender Foundation/Blender/2.82/scripts/addons/blendLuxCore/bin] in windows PATH variable.
>>>
"In Search, launched a search and found: System (Control Panel)
Click the Advanced System Settings link.
Click Environment Variables. In the System Variables section, locate and detect the PATH environment variable. Click on Edit. If the PATH environment variable does not exist, click New.
In the Modify system variable (or New system variable) window, specify the value of the PATH environment variable. Click on OK. Close all remaining windows by clicking OK."

With the latest fix I pushed, it should not be necessary to modify PATH.
Make sure you have the latest build of the BlendLuxCore code.

Now its working. Is this use now CUDA Compiler or Opencl? I mean Cycles uses CUDA if we enable CUDA on UserPref and there here Lux has (CUDA) option enabled. Just why Lux hasnt reacted as Cycles now?

Thanks for providing this!
