The release of Map360 2022.0 and the latest NVIDIA driver package offer a significant improvement in performance and stability.

NVIDIA has added a new dedicated IntelliCAD profile to the driver that will detect the IntelliCAD engine and use a specific application profile automatically. The new application profile enables settings that eliminate crashes and program stability issues. Please follow the steps outlined in this article to take advantage of this improved performance.
