Scan 3XS GW-HTX35 Workstation (w/ Quadro M6000) Review

SPECviewperf 12, released by SPEC's Graphics Performance Characterization group (SPECgpc) on December 18, 2013, is an all-new version of the worldwide standard for measuring graphics performance based on professional applications. SPECgpc members at the time of release include AMD, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, Intel, Lenovo, NEC and NVIDIA.

SPECviewperf 12 measures the 3D graphics performance of systems running under the OpenGL and Direct X application programming interfaces. The benchmark’s test files, called viewsets, represent graphics content and behavior from actual applications.


It's hard to say anything much more about the Scan 3XS GW-HTX35's SPECviewperf 12 results other than “wow”. The Quadro M6000 graphics annihilates all competition, with the Siemens NX snx-02 result being more than twice as fast as the Quadro K5200-wielding PC Specialist system.

The energy-01 viewset is particularly texture heavy, and the M6000 is more than 3.5x faster than the graphics in either comparison system. No matter what professional 3D content creation package you might be using, it's clear this system will make short work of it when modelling.

  1. For the price you would expect it but is watercooling really needed on all these workstation PCs? It looks great (so does the OCUK one) but it just seems a bit OTT for what is in most cases going to be thrown into a server room, perhaps under the table or somewhere else that no one can see, plus no case window to show it off – I know the latter doesn’t matter as it’s a different market and silence is key on NLE & DAW systems but watercooling it seems almost pointless – I’d prefer to save some money and get high-end silence optimised cooling fans and heatsinks from Noctua for example.

    Overclocking is another concern – Which may justify the watercooling – But a super high OC shouldn’t be in workstation PCs for fear of the system crashing. This doesn’t apply to this PC but there are plenty other workstation PCs done by companies like SCAN where they OC the CPU. If the CPU is OC’d a small amount then it’s not too bad but I’ve seen silly high OC’s which (if I was in the business of looking for a Workstation) would put me off as no OC is 100% stable no matter what lengths you go to ensure it doesn’t crash in various benchmark and stress test applications. Workstations should be safe and stable that you can trust for reliability with no fears.

  3. Safety and stability is a good reason for water cooling. Most workstations I test use it even without overclocking because it means larger, quieter fans can be used and the greater cooling means rock-solid stability on long arduous computes like rendering.
