Workstation Specialists WS-X1100 (with 2x NVIDIA Quadro GP100) Review

CINEBENCH 15 is a cross-platform testing suite that measures hardware performance and is the de facto standard benchmarking tool for leading companies and trade journals for conducting real-world hardware performance tests. With the new Release 15, systems with up to 256 threads can be tested.

CINEBENCH is available for both Windows and OS X and is used by almost all hardware manufacturers and trade journals for comparing CPUs and graphics cards.


The CPU rendering portion of Maxon Cinebench R15 shows that the six-core Intel Core i7-6800K can't keep up with the eight-core (and greater) processors in the comparison systems, despite the 4.2GHz overclock. But that's not what this system is about anyway.

The Cinebench OpenGL results, on the other hand, reveal that the NVIDIA Quadro P2000 is pretty good for running Maxon Cinema 4D, beating the AMD Radeon Pro Duo in the Armari, the AMD FirePro W8100 in the RENDA, and even the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 in the Scan system. Note that the Quadro GP100s are playing no part in this test.

  3. This is such a stupid choice of parts. #1 The X99 platform, there is both the x299, and the Xeon platform which would be more suitable. #2 The Corsair H100i, which should be at least the H115i or preferably an NZXT or EVGA CLC 280 cooler, both of which are significantly better and quieter. #3 the RAM should be ECC in a workstation build, further pointing towards Xeon/Epyc as a platform base rather than x99. #4 The PSU in a £17k build should be as good as possible, ie a titanium rated one such as the Corsair AXi 1500 or Silverstone Prime Titanium 1000, as saving £50 on installing a platinum PSU doesn’t make sense at this budget. #5 I really think that while the 960 evo is great, in a *17k* build, the pro is a much more sensible option, also 250gb is pathetic.

    I see so much of these high end builds, which aren’t really thought through, when they really should be, if made by a professional company. Of course this PC is still *good*, as the components are excellent, but it is not *great* because the components are not appropriate for the budget and use scenario.

  4. Edit, it’s a flipping 18k build and they’re using an out of date platform as a base and sub ideal components… wow.

  5. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

  7. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/davengerdann/saved/ I know how to build systems, thanks anyway.

  8. Never said you didn’t… I was merely (and brazenly) directing you towards another article I wrote! ?

  9. Dainel. Fuck if ever there was an elitist you made the dictionary definition. Kick the hell back dude. You’re in the Metaverse.
