SPECviewperf 2020 and Blender Render
For this test, we set off the Blender Gooseberry benchmark render on a copy of Blender 2.93.2 running on CPU. We set this to render a series of frames so it would take a long time. This is a very highly multithreaded application, which will use all the resources it can.Once the render was running, we fired off the SPECviewperf 2020 test, but only ran 3dsmax-07 and maya-06, because while you would do 3D animation design while rendering a 3D animation, you probably won't be engaged in CAD or scientific visualisation.
With 3ds Max, the W6800 is running at 83 per cent of full speed, the A4000 is at 70 per cent, and the A6000 at 72 per cent, but the A5000 is at 84 per cent. So the W6800 is doing well, but you could hardly call any of the NVIDIA cards unusable.
With Maya, the W6800 is at 48 per cent speed, the A4000 at 49 per cent, the A5000 at 52 per cent, but the A6000 has fallen to 37 per cent of its original performance.
Overall, then, while the W6800 is clearly capable at multi-tasking, so are the NVIDIA Ampere cards. And, since they are faster to begin with, the final frame rate is higher.
