I just bought gtx 750ti. It has CUDA core and supports hardware acceleration. I am CS student and I use Visual Studio lot. So I wanted to know about how to increase speed of Visual Studio or any other softwares like CAD using CUDA cores
 
Solution
To make things simple, you have to make sure that Visual Studio supports Cuda acceleration. As far as I can tell, the Visual Studio up to version 2015, doesn't support Cuda Acceleration. Maybe the latter version do. Like I said, I'm not familiar with the software, but if the software is not utilizing Cuda, then the problem is the software not the driver or you capable graphics hardware.

Two things here. The software itself has to support the Cuda protocol, and the graphics adapter driver, must have the latest update. I'm not familiar with Visual Studio, but if the software is not written to get advantage of Cuda parallel processing acceleration, then is not much you can do here.

The supported software list released by Nvidia says Visual Studio supports hardware acceleration through CUDA core.

The solution then? Update your graphics driver, and configure the performance preferences within the software.
