NVIDIA AND AUTODESK AUTOCAD | SOLUTION OVERVIEW | MAY16 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 ® —with complete confidence. This is something integrated graphics just can’t handle. Create fast photorealistic renders. 3ds Max 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. With the NVIDIA ® Iray ® renderer in 3ds Max you can render more than 12x faster using NVIDIA Multi-GPU technology while still working with all your other software applications. Now Iray Server distributed rendering software is available from NVIDIA to harness the power of networked workstations for even faster rendering. This enables you to reduce, or in some cases eliminate, the number of expensive and time-consuming physical prototypes needed. 0.4X 1.2X 0X 0.2X 1.0X 0.6X 1.4X 0.8X Relative Performance Test run on Intel E5 2697 V3 2.6GHz, 3.6GHz turbo, Win 7 SP-1 64-bit, 32GB RAM, NVIDIA driver 367.74.
