Announcing NVIDIA Maximus Workstations with the new NVIDIA® Maximus™ technology – that combine Quadro and Tesla GPUs - provides CATIA users with even greater graphics and computational performance than ever before. Engineers and designers in industries ranging from automotive and aerospace to consumer packaged goods can get incredibly fast and surprisingly cost efficient ways to perform simultaneous CAE simulations or photorealistic rendering while still working on their designs. As always, the collaboration of NVIDIA, Dassault Systemes and the leading workstation manufacturers, assures you of optimized performance and the most advanced features. For more information, visit our Maximus workstation page. INCREASE CATIA PERFORMANCE Featuring a new geometry engine and up to 6GB of graphics memory, NVIDIA Quadro shatters previous limitations. With up to 85% performance gains* over previous generations, the new Quadro solutions allow you to use advanced textures and materials on large assemblies without slowing down the design process. Stylists can now use realistic materials like car paint, carbon fiber and leather stitching to render life-like models. Electrical and hydraulics engineering teams can navigate complete airplane or car assemblies to make correct technical decisions faster. Go ahead and rotate, pan, zoom and modify without worry. Quadro gives you the power you need. Which Quadro Solution is Right for me?   Quadro 2000 Quadro 4000 Quadro 5000 Quadro 6000 Usage Modeling. Part & Simple Assembly Design. Intensive Modeling.
