It’s not directly CAD related, but it says 3D and has ‘Graphics‘ is the headline, so it’s gotta be kinda interesting. It’s the History of 3D Graphics from MaximumPC and it’s 10 pages choke full of specs and insight to the GPU evolution.
Have you ever wondered how much graphics cards have change over the past few years? How much clockspeed has jumped? If they’re getting any smaller? Check out the differences from 1995 to 2009 of that things putting pretty 3D graphics all over your monitor.
The Press at SWW08 got a special presentation from Jon Hirschtick, founder of SolidWorks and CEO up till 2001. He’s an MIT grad and should know a thing or two about CAD history and the future possibilities since, ya know, he’s been a large part of making it happen.
