JOIN THE RENDERING REVOLUTION
AND MAXIMIZE YOUR SPEED TO PHOTOREALISM WITH IRAY AND NVIDIA FERMI CLASS GPUS.
The NVIDIA iray renderer for 3ds Max 2012 and 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.

"500 iterations (a simple scene) on the old system took about 10 minutes and now on the new workstation with a Quadro 5000 and Tesla C2050, it’s down to 43 seconds" - N.T.W. Fox (Architect)
"iRay with the Quadro 5000 and Tesla C2050 card combination is delivering the kind of images I've dreamed about for over two decades." - N.T.W. Fox (Architect)
