LuxMark 3.1

OpenCL is a platform for harnessing GPU power for activities other than real-time 3D rendering to screen, also known as GPGPU. Unlike NVIDIA’s CUDA platform, OpenCL is open source and can be ported to anything with processing power. So drivers are available for CPUs as well, both from Intel and AMD. NVIDIA's graphics cards also support OpenCL, albeit an earlier version (1.2) than the AMD cards, which support version 2.0.

A popular tool for testing OpenCL performance is LuxMark. We rendered the most gruelling Hotel Lobby scene.

The W5700 may be great for modelling, but the lack of Stream Processors compared to the WX 8200 is clear when it comes to raw GPGPU compute, where it trails by 84 per cent. The NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000 is even faster still – 220 per cent faster. If your workflow does involve GPU rendering, the W5700 is not the best option.
