SPECapc 3D Studio Max 2009
SPECapc for 3ds max 2009
SPECapc for 3ds Max™ 2009 measures performance based on the workload of a typical user, including functions such as wireframe modeling, shading, texturing, lighting, blending, inverse kinematics, object creation and manipulation, editing, scene creation, particle tracing, animation and rendering. The benchmark runs under both OpenGL and DX implementations of 3ds max 9, and tests all the components that come into play when running the application.

Test models within SPECapc for 3ds Max 9 range from simple primitives to complex objects and large scenes. Multiple repetitions are used to test the limits of graphics cards.

The line graphs here might be a little hard to read (lower scores are better) with some very close times creating overlapping results but the total time graph at the bottom gives us the overall result in total seconds.  The Quadro FX 4800 is fastest GPU for 3D studio max 2009 followed closely by NVIDIA’s cheaper Quadro solution, the FX 3700.  Both of the AMD FirePro offerings fall behind the Quadro series: the FirePro v8700 is still a 45% slower than FX 4800.
