SPECviewperf 13

The SPECviewperf 13 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 13, released on May 23, 2018. SPECgpc members at the time of V13 release include AMD, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, Intel, Lenovo, and NVIDIA.

SPECviewperf 13 is a comprehensive upgrade of previous versions of the benchmark. Medical and energy viewsets incorporate new models and raycasting for volume visualization; the Maya viewset features new models based on the SPECapc for Maya 2017 benchmark; and the Creo viewset has been updated with fresh application traces. All other viewsets have been recompiled with minor changes. Results from SPECviewperf 13 are not comparable to those from earlier versions.

For this test, we only compared the Gigabyte setup to the Armari Magnetar S32-RD1000G2 and Gigabyte MZ01-CE0 motherboard, as both were using AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 graphics, which in theory should be a little faster but otherwise very similar.

In reality, however, the WX 8200 has a slightly faster GPU core, albeit with fewer Stream Processors. Alongside the Intel Xeon E 2176G fast single-core clock, it outperformed the other comparisons in every test.

Overall, then, this motherboard and processor combination would be great for a pure modelling workstation.
