Questions and answears!

Here a Link to our Website…

…and here the answers:

•I need info if the ARX engine are multi-core based (can use more than one RAM-core, example if using a computer with 4x4gb cores so in toital of 16 gb, and using windows 7 x64) -> Yes, ARX support multicore, the render engine is mental ray. For further information about mental ray take a look to the mentalimages webpage. (http://www.mentalimages.com/products/mental-ray/about-mental-ray/features.html)

•I also need info if ARX rendering module usese CPU+GPU? -> Yes, mentalimages is a Nvidia company and ARX is optimized for CUDA enabled GPUs.

•And what kind of graphic-cards that are recommended? ->see the PTC Website… http://www.ptc.com/WCMS/files/77552/en/proewf5.pdf

So the graphic-cards that are supported for Creo/Elements Pro are also supported as ARX - rendering extension.
