 SANTA
CLARA, CA, Jul 15, 2009 - NVIDIA Corporation today announced that the NVIDIA
Quadro line of professional solutions is now optimized for Autodesk AutoCAD
2010. Coupling industry-leading graphics capabilities with specially built
AutoCAD performance drivers, Quadro processors enable design professionals
to create and interact with more complex 3D product designs. Starting at
under $100, NVIDIA Quadro solutions offer AutoCAD users maximum productivity
at every price point.
AutoCAD leverage the capabilities of Quadro
professional-class GPUs to incorporate high-quality 3D models into work flow
"By leveraging the advanced features and massively parallel processing
capabilities of NVIDIA Quadro professional-class GPUs, it's possible for our
customers to experience a significant performance boost," said Eric Stover,
AutoCAD product line manager, Autodesk. "AutoCAD 2010 has been enhanced with
3D modeling features and functionality, and the unprecedented 3D visual
quality that results from using Quadro GPUs will give designers of all types
a strong professional advantage."
"There is no question that the ability to work efficiently in 3D is a
must for today's design professional," said Jeff Brown, general manager,
Professional Solutions, NVIDIA. "NVIDIA's long history of 3D innovation
makes Quadro processor-based workstations and mobile workstations an
essential tool for designers who want to utilize the breakthrough 3D
capabilities of AutoCAD 2010."
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.
Availability
NVIDIA's new performance drivers for AutoCAD 2010 are free and available
for download from NVIDIA's Website. The
drivers are available as either a standalone package or integrated in the
