SPECapc for 3ds Max™ 2015 is performance evaluation software for systems running Autodesk 3DS Max 2015. The benchmark was introduced on August 13, 2014. The benchmark requires that users have a working version of 3ds Max 2015 with Service Pack 1 applied.
SPECapc for 3ds Max 2015 contains 48 tests for comprehensive measurement of modeling, interactive graphics, visual effects, CPU and GPU performance.
Features in the latest SPECapc benchmark are keyed to upgrades in 3ds Max 2015, including new DirectX 11 shaders and vector maps, Nitrous viewport enhancements, and new dynamics and visual effects. The benchmark also improves run-to-run consistency and results reporting.
Benchmark results are derived by taking the total number of seconds to run each test and nomalizing it based on a reference machine, in this case a Dell Precision 690 workstation with 2.0-GHz Intel Xeon 5130 processor, 4 x 4GB FB-DIMM DDR2 SDRAM (ECC) memory, NVIDIA Quadro Q600 graphics card, and Western Digital 500GB 7200 rpm hard drive. The normalization process ensures a scoring system where a bigger score is better. Composite scores are reported for CPU, GPU and large-model (city scene) performance.
The benchmark can be run at 4k and HD resolutions, and at different anti-aliasing levels: 0xAA (default), 2x, 4x, and 8x AA, although we performed all tests at the default setting.
The Scan system didn't fare so well with 3ds Max 2015, which clearly benefits from both the clock speed of the RENDA and its AMD graphics, which we noted when we reviewed the latter machine do pay some dividends with this application.
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.
my associate’s stride close aunti makes $98 an hour on the portable workstation……….Afterg an average of 19952 Dollars monthly,I’m finally getting 97 Dollars an hour,just working 4-5 hours daily online.….. Weekly paycheck… Bonus opportunities…earn upto $16k to $19k /a month… Just few hours of your free time, any kind of computer, elementary understanding of web and stable connection is what is required…….HERE I STARTED…look over here
it…

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.
