Explanation

CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) is NVIDIA's parallel computing platform designed for professional workloads including CAD/CAM and graphics design. NVIDIA's professional Quadro (now RTX A-series) lines use CUDA and come with certified, specialized drivers specifically validated for stability in professional applications like AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and Adobe Creative Suite. CrossFire (AMD multi-GPU) and SLI (NVIDIA multi-GPU) are gaming-focused configurations, not designed for professional CAD/CAM stability. A TV Tuner card is irrelevant to this use case.
