NVIDIA Announces GPU Acceleration for Adobe Illustrator CC,

New NVIDIA GPU-powered features also now shipping in Adobe Creative Cloud video and imaging applications.

Santa Clara – NVIDIA announced the first GPU-accel

eration of Adobe Illustrator CC — enabling graphic artists to seamlessly interact with vector art at any resolution, and to smoothly pan and zoom significantly faster than previously possible. With this new feature powered by NVIDIA GPUs, Illustrator CC can now accelerate the entire canvas by up to 10-times faster than previously possible on Windows 7 or 8-based systems with compatible GPUs.

GPU acceleration in Illustrator CC specifically benefits the wide range of users working with 2D vector graphics, including graphic designers, illustrators and typographers creating media across web, print, mobile and more. While GPU acceleration is the norm in 3D content creation, those working in 2D have traditionally been restricted to driving all computing performance through the CPU. Now 2D artists and designers can experience fully interactive performance with even the most complex, high-resolution graphics. TO KNOW MORE CLICK HERE
