    Hey all, I'm not sure if this has been covered in the GPU Throttling threads or not, but I have a question the throttling. I keep hearing that GPU throlling comes up with gaming and I'm wondering if it's just limited to gaming and only gaming. The reason I ask is because I use graphic card intensive programs like AutoCAD and Revit Architecture. However, eventhough those programs require good video cards, I wasn't sure that the programs actually use the card similar to how gaming does. In other words, should I be on the look out for GPU throttling with CAD programs? Thanks.

    AutoCAD uses CPU to render most of the complex graphic.
