We put the RENDA system through our usual suite of benchmarks. For comparison, we pitted it against Armari's Magnetar M16E-AW1200-GPU and the PC Specialist Core i7 workstation from our recent features with a NVIDIA Quadro K4200 fitted, although we haven't run every test on every workstation.

The PC Specialist system is a particularly good graphics comparison, because its CPU clock speed is similar and it uses the same Intel core generation, giving us a reasonable assessment of relative graphics performance.

Software:
Cinebench R15
SPECviewperf 12.02
SPECapc for 3ds Max 2015
SPECapc for SolidWorks 2013
