Your product CD includes 3Dlabs PowerThreads

driver software, which lets you set

image quality and performance preferences for your card. It also includes the Soft
Engine AutoCAD accelerator and productivity tool package, and Colorific screen-to-
print color matching software. Installing Soft Engine on your AutoCAD equipped
system will improve graphics performance by up to four times, however it will only
improve performance with AutoCAD R14 or earlier versions. In addition, it will not
work with AutoCAD 2000. Colorific painlessly ensures that what you see is what you
print. This section describes the two software installation processes for supported
Windows operating systems.
