SPECviewperf 10

The SPECopcSM project group’s SPECviewperf 10 is totally new performance evaluation software. In addition to features found in previous versions, it now provides the ability to compare performance of systems running in higher-quality graphics modes that use full-scene anti-aliasing, and measures how effectively graphics subsystems scale when running multithreaded graphics content. Since the SPECviewperf source and binaries have been upgraded to support changes, no comparisons should be made between past results and current results for viewsets running under SPECviewperf 10.

Performance of the new V8800 compared to the Quadro FX 4800 is really a run away win for AMD’s FirePro card.  Only in Catia and SW did the NVIDIA offering really best the AMD solution and even then the battle was somewhat close.  In several cases though, with Ensight, Maya and even UGNX, the advantages for the V8800 were much more extreme and were sometimes more than twice as fast as the Quadro solution.  While in a few instances the V8700 is running at the same performance levels as the new V8800 (we can assume these are CPU bound), there are others, like the Ensight test that see a 37% increase with this generation of FirePro.
