What sort of gpu? Nvidia and AMD tend
to be quite different.
Nvidia tends to use Cuda framework, AMD uses OpenCL. They offer
some level of compatibility I think, but nothing I've particularly
used outside of pure graphic opengl for gaming and desktop
compositing mostly. Each tends to be better at certain uses as
well depending on the type of functions invoked in their process
engines.
Using AMD with bitcoin mining for a bit, you had to install opencl
libs under ubuntu, bind the app at the socket level to the gpu,
and not do anything to the system that needed much graphic use
beside that. Blender or Hugin if using GPU, probably much the
same. Nvidia will have a cuda equivalent. The googles are your
friend for your particular case to get the appropriate libraries
there.
I'd recommend using a window manager that doesn't composite if
they peg your gpu. Install psensor and watch your gpu temps to
see how much they're scorching it. Powertop would be fun to watch
as well when in use, running a bitcoin miner on mine caused it to
go into furnace mode.

I'm working with hugin right now at this moment and
it is rendering a gigapixel image (WOW). Anyways I was looking
at the text at the beginning of the process and it says:
Using GPU for remapping: false
I think I bought a video card! How can I find out the
capabilities of my video card? lspci didn't say anything
special.
