JOIN THE RENDERING REVOLUTION AND MAXIMIZE YOUR SPEED TO PHOTOREALISM WITH IRAY AND NVIDIA FERMI CLASS GPUS
The mental ray iray renderer for 3ds Max 2011¹ provides 3D artists with intuitive means for creating images that rival photographs in a fraction of the time of traditional workflows. Designers can now use materials and lights which correspond and react like those in the physical world to quickly bring their 3ds Max worlds to life, rather than juggling a multitude of computer graphics controls to merely approximate it.
The iray workflow is further enhanced with massive acceleration from NVIDIA Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) based on the NVIDIA® CUDA™ architecture. While iray produces identical images on either CPUs or GPUs, 3ds Max users will enjoy up to 6x faster results over a quad-core CPU² when using an NVIDIA® Quadro® 5000 or NVIDIA® Tesla™ C2050. Designers looking for the fastest iray results can further boost their speed by adding additional NVIDIA GPUs to their system.
iray rendering is accelerated on all NVIDIA CUDA™-enabled GPUs. The massive processing power and large frame buffers of the new Fermi-based NVIDIA Quadro and Tesla GPUs dramatically decrease your time to photorealistic results.
Check out the performance increase you get when using NVIDIA GPUs over a quad core CPU.
