REVIEW: SPECapc for 3ds Max 2011 Professional Benchmark

NVIDIA Professional Graphic Cards on Single Socket Intel Xeon System


Quadro 4000 on a single-socket system yielded quite high results: 24.04 and clean 30.00 in Large Model


Quadro 5000 continues to score really good and the lower CPU composite score doesn't affect the GPU ones


King of SPECapc for 3ds Max 2011 Hill: Quadro 6000 6GB GDDR5


Composite results for NVIDIA Quadro cards: note almost perfect scaling


Complete scores for NVIDIA Quadro cards on SPECapc for 3ds Max 2011 - no doubt who is the overall winner here

Once more the sheer brute strength of the Quadro came to the fore maintaining superb scores on Supermicro’s new X9SCA and the E3-1280 Xeon processor. The cards scaled all the way through each specific test just as one would expect. Surprisingly enough the GPU rendering and GPU shaders on this platform were somewhat faster than upon the Dual Socket Xeon. This is a good keynote for the end-users that are considering moving over to Sandy Bridge. Needless to say, we're eagerly expecting to see what level of performance dual-socket Sandy Bridge E processors will bring to the market.
