Is there anyway to use the GPU instead of the CPU to render scenes? Im sure there is, and after searching I have yet to find anything describing the process to set up the render to do so. Help is greatly appreciated!

You can change your renderer selection to "Hardware", it will render your scene as seen through a viewport e.g. openGL etc.
If you mean can XSI make use of your GPU for acceleration of full quality renderings, then no. For that kind of thing you need a renderer such as Gelato (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelato_%28software%29), which I don't believe is yet available for XSI.
