April 7,2005 - NVIDIA Corporation, a worldwide leader in graphics and digital media processors, today announced the immediate availability of its MAXtreme 7, a 3D application tool that enhances the productivity of Autodesk 3ds Max software on NVIDIA Quadro professional graphics solutions. Initial MAXtreme 7 results demonstrate an increase in performance of up to 134% over 3ds Max using the default OpenGL driver on the application benchmark internally developed and sanctioned by Autodesk Media and Entertainment (previously known as Discreet ). NVIDIA provides the free and fully certified MAXtreme productivity tool on its Web site at: http://www.nvidia.com/object/maxtreme_7.html.

The MAXtreme driver performs a number of key functions when using 3ds Max software, including controlling the application�s viewport display quality and rendering speed. A variety of rendering enhancements are also enabled, leveraging the hardware rendering capabilities found in NVIDIA Quadro FX boards. In addition to 3ds Max, MAXtreme enhances the productivity of Autodesk VIZ, 3D modeling, rendering, and presentation software that provides state-of-the-art image creation technologies for communicating and sharing design concepts and alternatives.

"With 3ds Max software, Autodesk has built what is by far the largest community of 3D talent in the industry," said Marc Petit, vice president of product development and operations, Autodesk Media and Entertainment. "We are thrilled that our long time partner NVIDIA is releasing MAXtreme 7, a highly optimized application which enables our users to experience the full quality and performance of the NVIDIA Quadro graphics solutions within 3ds Max."

NVIDIA developed MAXtreme 7 in close collaboration with Autodesk Media and Entertainment in order to maximize productivity of 3D artists using 3ds Max 7. MAXtreme can be used on the Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP operating systems, and is optimized for use with the complete top-to-bottom lineup of NVIDIA Quadro FX products for desktop and mobile workstations.
