NVIDIA AND AUTODESK AUTOCAD | SOLUTION OVERVIEW | AUg14

Do your best work faster.

gET THE MOST OUT OF AUTODESK AUTOCAD

WITH NVIDIA

The latest NVIDIA® Quadro® graphics cards provide exceptional performance for AutoCAD®. This means you can now work more quickly, explore more ideas and design iterations, and still get your projects done faster.

NVIDIA professional graphics deliver industry leading performance that also enables you to easily use the other applications in AutoCAD Design Suite—such as Showcase® and 3ds Max® Design—with complete confidence. This is something integrated graphics just can’t handle.

Create fast photorealistic renders.3ds Max Design in AutoCAD Design Suite Premium or Ultimate makes creating stunning photorealistic renderings for client reviews or marketing materials faster and easier. Plus, it takes full advantage of your professional graphics card, so your renders will finish faster. No more waiting overnight and catching mistakes too late.

Now, with the NVIDIA® Iray® renderer in 3ds Max you can render up to 14x faster using NVIDIA Multi-GPU technology while still working in all your other apps. This enables you to reduce, or in some cases eliminate, the number of expensive and time-consuming physical prototypes needed.
