AMD Radeon Pro W5700 Review – price and performance are right, but it’s enough for the Quadro RTX 4000?

The SPECapc for Solidworks 2019 Benchmark is a performance evaluation software for vendors and users of computer systems using Solidworks 2019 CAD/CAM software on Microsoft Windows 10 64-bit platforms. It includes 10 updated and new tests that cover a full range of graphics and CPU functionality. The graphics tests within the benchmark that are relevant to us measure performance in both standard and advanced graphics modes, which I will measure in detail on the next page.

The benchmark includes order-independent transparency (OIT), a methodology for fast display of transparency as well as full scene anti-aliasing (FSAA) for high-quality visuals. I deliberately did not use the standard anti-aliasing (only edges/sketches), but instead relied exclusively on FSAA for both tests (including the one with the extended graphics). Individual results are generated for each test and calculated at the end of the composite for graphics performance.

The Radeon Pro W5700 can score well here, even if the distances between the more current cards are rather small. But it also shows that the result from the SPECviewperf definitely corresponds to the reality of the standard mode. Also a finding, but there will be a test with Solidworks on the next page.
