SPECviewperf is a benchmark test designed to measure the 3D graphics performance of workstation graphics cards. This test is published by the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC), a non-profit organization that specializes in creating standardized benchmarks for various systems and applications. The SPECviewperf benchmark measures the 3D rendering performance of systems in professional applications typically used in industries such as engineering, medical, oil and gas exploration, entertainment and others. The main goal of this benchmark is to help end users, IT administrators and hardware manufacturers evaluate the graphics performance of their systems in these specific use cases.
The SPECviewperf contains a variety of test data sets based on real-world applications. These data sets are divided into so-called “viewsets”, with each viewset representing a specific application or application type, e.g. SolidWorks, Maya or CATIA. Benchmark measures a variety of graphics operations, including geometry, lighting, texturing and others. Because SPEC is an independent organization, its benchmarks are widely considered neutral and not influenced by any particular hardware or software manufacturer. However, it’s no secret that the two graphics card manufacturers like to optimize their drivers for this suite. That’s exactly what I’m going to deliberately exploit today though, as it should suit the three consumer cards just fine. Well, should…
Individual benchmarks
The benchmark for 3ds Max simulates the workloads in a typical modeling and animation environment. It includes tests that examine the rendering of 3D models with high polygon counts, textures and lighting effects. The aim is to evaluate the performance of the GPU when interactively navigating and editing these models. Particularly important here is the ability to deliver stable frame rates in demanding scenarios, such as scenes with complex shadows and ambient lighting, which are common in film and game development.
The next benchmark is tailored to the performance requirements of CATIA users and tests the GPU’s ability to smoothly render highly complex assemblies. It simulates typical design tasks such as rendering wireframe and shaded views as well as navigating through large assemblies. It also evaluates how well the GPU copes with interactive tasks such as zooming, panning and rotating. The results reflect the suitability of a system for high-end CAD design and product development.
The Energy Benchmark evaluates the system’s ability to visualize massive amounts of data typically used in energy and geoscience. Scenarios include the display of volumetric data, seismic simulations and 3D modeling of reservoirs. The test places high demands on the memory bandwidth and the ability of the GPU to enable smooth visualizations while simultaneously processing large amounts of data. It also tests how efficiently the system handles interactions such as zooming and rotating in data-intensive scenes.
The benchmark for Autodesk Maya tests GPU performance in animation and visualization applications. It focuses on scenarios with rigged characters, particle effects and textured models. The tests examine how well the system can handle demanding real-time rendering while making interactive changes to the scene. Of particular importance is the GPU’s ability to deliver consistent frame rates when editing and rendering animations.
This benchmark specializes in medical applications and simulates the visualization of complex volumetric data sets, such as those commonly used in the analysis of CT and MRI scans. It tests the efficiency of the system in displaying slices, reconstructing volumes and manipulating views to visualize detailed anatomical structures. The GPU’s performance in handling such high-resolution data is put to the test in demanding tests.
The NX benchmark evaluates the performance of systems in a Siemens NX environment, which is often used in the automotive and aerospace industries. It simulates the display and processing of highly complex CAD models, which can consist of several hundred components. The focus is on the GPU’s ability to handle interactive workloads such as zooming, panning and rotating without delays, even with data-intensive assemblies.
The SolidWorks benchmark tests performance in design applications, with specific tests challenging the GPU when rendering assemblies with RealView graphics, exploded views and textured models. In addition, scenarios with high demands on real-time rendering capability are simulated to evaluate how smoothly the system can handle visual effects used for presentations and designs.
