How to use GPU while Rendering in Inventor Studio

[Anonymous]

How can I enable the GPU while rendering so that Inventor works on GPU and not CPU? Any other ideas on how to reduce the rendering timing will be appreciated.

Hi Nimesh,


The GPU (graphics card or chipset) has absolutely no impact on rendering performance or capacity.

Hopefully, this helps answer your question....

Hey Michael,

Thanks for the link, So does 3dsmax or Showcase supports the use of GPU?

I am working on Inventor Professional 2018, is there anyway i can install Showcase .

Showcase and 3d Max do :

"Autodesk Showcase uses the graphics card to its full potential.  This may sometimes lead to other applications not having enough resources to maintain acceptable performance and responsiveness. 

Are you having an issue rendering in Studio?

Here is a thread I'm on too about rendering...

Showcase is being discontinued
