Nvidia announced today the immediate availability of optimized Quadro drivers for Autodesk’s AutoCAD 2010 software. This industry-leading graphics toolset can now benefit from parallel GP-GPU processing abilities through CUDA, providing a 5x speedup in ‘3D Hidden’ visual styles, as well as faster renderings in Conceptual and Realistic visual styles.
Nvidia’s Quadro products come in various flavors, depending on the level of compute throughput that’s required. This native support for AutoCAD 2010 is merely an accelerator for visual purposes, and not a technology breakthrough.
From the release:In addition to maximizing productivity, the benefits of combining Quadro solutions with AutoCAD 2010 include:
- Best in Class Quality – Quadro processors offer the best price performance for workstation graphics with the optimal blend of quality, precision and performance. Quadro solutions are engineered, built and tested by NVIDIA to achieve premium quality standards.
- Unprecedented Performance – Quadro processors enable up to a 5X performance increase in ‘3D Hidden’ visual style and faster interactive manipulation of models in ‘Conceptual’ and ‘Realistic’ visual styles.
- Easy Interaction with 3D Models – Quadro processors offer the ability to easily manipulate and interact with large scale models while working at the maximum visual quality that is necessary to render high-polygon 3D models precisely.
- Superior Image Quality – Quadro processors offer higher image quality without sacrificing performance with AutoCAD smooth lines display, a Quadro-specific feature available through NVIDIA’s AutoCAD performance driver.
- Advanced Multi-Display Support – NVIDIA nView® advanced display software delivers maximum flexibility for single-large display or multi-display options at resolutions up to 2560 x 1600 per display.
