In partnership with Adobe, we are very excited to announce the first ever GPU acceleration for Adobe® Illustrator® CC. Rather than relying on CPUs to do all the heavy lifting, graphic artists can now perform up to ten times faster in Illustrator CC with the boost from NVIDIA GPUs. This new capability lets artists interact smoother and faster with their work, which helps them work efficiently from start to finish.

Adobe also launched the latest 2014 update of Adobe Creative Cloud, enhanced by NVIDIA like never before. We are honored to partner with Adobe in delivering exceptional performance capabilities to artists. Check out the new Adobe Creative Cloud and let us know what you think.
