Vray... Looks like a rendering program? Never used it, have been on the standard AutoCAD renderer so far.

Registration done, now out on the look for the download

Ever use powerdraft for AutoCAD 2009

 

[monkey7]

Never used it, but sure looks like a good option for easy 2D drawings

Downloading acad '09 civil from Autodesk now ^^ Sadly it's 32bit so it will not be able to fully utilize my ram.

Powerdraft is such a booster addon for nvidia graphic,

anyone everuse it

Such huge RAM,

only 4gb can be handle by autoCAd 32bit hah?

 

[monkey7]

Yeah, around 3.5GB

Sadly for autoCAD/Powerdraft I do not have nVidia graphics Considered going that way but I just didn't think it was worth the additional money. Might be going for a gtx280 after all though. But before purchasing I wait for details on the rumoured ATi 4900 series.

Civil is still downloading, internet's crappy 200kB/s tops and it's around 4GB.

 

[Aquarius]

ATi 4900 series?

2 in 1 card again?

 

[monkey7]

Possibly a die shrink of the 4800 series with some additional shaders. Not much known about it yet though.

 

[Bungral]

Will probably waiting a few months for the higher end 40nm shrink mate..

 

[Aquarius]

40nm,but still full up your case,

BTw,Which card better for AutoCAD,FireGl series or Quadro series?

 

[monkey7]

I don't know to be honest. I believe the Quadro series are ahead in sales, but that could also be because companies just buy the most expensive card xD
