The problem is that a lot of these programs still use the CPU to actually Render

I use Solidworks qutie a bit and it's a bloated beast, and it crawls to a near stop if you're trying to do anything complex with it, or use it with any other CAD software at the same time. I use it in conjunction with some circuit board design software and its almost impossible to use both simultaneously. I think Solidworks probably has it's own inefficiencies but it would constantly crash until I upgrade my video card, and now it only grinds along unless everything is wire-framed.
