This year we began introducing two significant hardware assets for graphics testing in our labs: Dell XPS Laptops (15 inch series) with Nvidia GTX 960M series GPU, now with a 'game-ready' driver update version 372.90 (free update from ). The inner workings of OpenGL per diagram from Wikipedia These commands are often wrapped inside other languages like C++ for callable use by developers to tie into their software - like CAD, games, many video players and other highly-demanding graphics applications. OpenGL is essentially a machine language for sending commands like draw and shade directly (in a process sometimes called 'direct rendering') to an OpenGL-speaking graphics card for display on the screen. Since the landmark progeCAD 2013 release several years ago, our development team has been spending considerable effort to improve our use of OpenGL hardware acceleration commonly employed by CAD software like AutoCAD and Geomagic. As stated in the update announcement on, progeCAD is a low-cost general-purpose 2D/3D CAD system with very tight compatibility to recent versions of AutoCAD. Sydney, Australia 05 October 2016 - With the recently available progeCAD 17.0.8 service pack, the CADDIT team has revisited last year's review of CAD hardware.
