Viewperf Benchmarks (7.1.1, 9.0.3, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0) Last Change: 16/Jul/2014, 2236hrs. Whoami: Ian Mapleson http://www.sgidepot.co.uk/sgi.html http://www.sgidepot.co.uk/sgidepot/ Here I collate Viewperf test results using various graphics cards, both consumer and professional. The aim is to show how gamer cards differ from professional cards for running pro apps, and to show to what extent consumer motherboards and CPUs (stock speed or overclocked) are a viable solution for professional work with a Quadro, ie. how a single oc'd consumer chip fares against an expensive XEON pro-type workstation. On the other hand, pro cards are awful for playing games; see the pctests.html link at the end of this document for example 3DMark06 results. Results are shown in order based on the same numerical ranking system I use on my SGI site for Open Inventor 3D data. The order is designed to reflect how well each system is generally, but in the event of a tie there is precision involved too (I'll write up a description at a later date). Notice how SLI shows no useful gain for consumer cards. Also, though I do have two Quadro FX 5500 cards, SLI for these is only supported on certified motherboards, so I'm unable to test SLI atm for them (despite my having a Dell T7500, Dell didn't support these particular cards in SLI).

The GTX 580 gamer card now shows much stronger results for Maya; perhaps Autodesk has rewritten Maya to use more DirectX (DX) functions, I'm not sure. Showcase is stated to be the first fully DX-based test in Viewperf, a fact which the GTX 580 shows all too well, beating all the Quadro cards. By contrast, SNX is very different, running particulaly poorly on the 580, much as it has done on any gamer card in previous Viewperf suites. SW has changed compared to Viewperf 11, as it now runs quite well on the GTX 580 (for Viewperf 11, the 580 was much slower compared to the Quadro cards), landing in the middle of the Quadro pack. It would be fascinating to test a GTX 780[Ti], but I've not obtained one yet as they're still too expensive, even 2nd-hand. Note that the Energy and Medical tests use the main CPU heavily, so it may well be that the results for these two tests are markedly different when I run them on a 6-core 3930K and, later, an 8-core Dell T7500. Having said that, the results above with a 5GHz 2700K generally compare very favourably to running the rest of the test suite on a stock-speed 4930K, eg. see: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/firepro-w9100-performance,3810-8.html Test References: CATIA-04: http://spec.org/gwpg/gpc.static/catia04.html CREO-01: http://spec.org/gwpg/gpc.static/creo-01.html ENERGY-01: http://spec.org/gwpg/gpc.static/energy-01.html MAYA-04: http://spec.org/gwpg/gpc.static/maya04.html MEDICAL-01: http://spec.org/gwpg/gpc.static/med-01.html SHOWCASE-01: http://spec.org/gwpg/gpc.static/showcase01.html SNX-02: http://spec.org/gwpg/gpc.static/snx02.html SW-03: http://spec.org/gwpg/gpc.static/sw03.html Caveat: as with all Viewperf suites, the results given are weighted means of individual test results. What this means is that individual tests can produce very wide ranging frame rates, eg. for Catia-04 the GTX 580 gives anywhere from about 1fps to more than 60fps, but the weighted averaging means the final result is only 8.13. This effect occurs in almost all of the tests, while for Energy-01 the 580 and Quadro 2000/4000 cards cannot run subtests 6 and 7 at all (insufficient VRAM, 4GB+ required for these subtests); of the Energy-01 tests the 580 can execute, performance ranges from 0.25 fps to 13.28fps with the 2700K (for Medical-01, the range is 0.82 to 85.47); ditto the same issue with Creo-01, Snx-02 and Sw-03. However, as one might expect, the 580's results for Maya-04 and Showcase-01 are a lot more even (33.48 to 67.24 for Maya; 34.15 to 37.41 for Showcase). These effects once again highlight the way many professional applications employ GPU functions which are not optimised on gamer cards; if one just happens to be doing something which a gamer card can handle then performance isn't too bad, but slip into something else (probably something like AA lines) and performance collapses completely. This is why, for relevant applications, a suitable Quadro card should always be preferred.
