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

The SPECviewperf 12.1 benchmark is the worldwide standard for measuring graphics performance based on professional applications. The benchmark measures the 3D graphics performance of systems running under the OpenGL and Direct X application programming interfaces. The benchmark’s workloads, called viewsets, represent graphics content and behaviour from actual applications.

The latest version is SPECviewperf 12.1, released on August 24, 2016. SPECgpc members at the time of V12.1 release include AMD, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, Intel, Lenovo, NVIDIA, and VMware. SPECviewperf 12.1 features a new Autodesk 3ds Max viewset, Microsoft Windows 10 support, and GUI and reporting improvements.

SPECviewperf 12.1 has been tested and is supported under the 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows 10. Results from SPECviewperf 12.1 remain comparable to those from V12.0.1 and V12.0.2.

The Quadro P2000 acquits itself well in SPECviewperf 12.1. The results with the 3dsmax-05, medical-01 and showcase-01 viewset are behind the Armari Magnetar V25R's AMD Radeon Pro Duo, but otherwise the NVIDIA Quadro P2000 does extremely well, with results that come close to the Scan system's NVIDIA Quadro M6000 in creo-01 and sw-03. Even with catia-04 and maya-04, it's scarcely 20 per cent slower. Only snx-02 really lags far behind the previous-generation M6000.

Again, the NVIDIA Quadro GP100 cards are not playing a part in this test, however. So next let's turn to testing that does show off what they have to offer.

  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.

  6. Check these systems out instead: https://www.kitguru.net/desktop-pc/james-morris/armari-amd-ryzen-threadripper-1950x-versus-intel-core-i9-7980xe-shootout/

  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.
