The Blender openvdb use flag has a description of "Add GPU preview rendering. Only works with nVidia cards." This may be true (I haven't tried that either way), but openvdb is also used for the voxel remesher functionality, which will work regardless of graphics card. The use flag description gives the impression that the openvdb use flag is useless for non-nvidia cards, and makes it a bit confusing when searching for why the voxel remesher gives an error (with no extra error detail at all) instead of running. This should probably have a more accurate description, like "Enable openvdb for volumetric processing, like the voxel remesher. Also enable GPU preview rendering for Nvidia cards."
