The SPECviewperf 12.1 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 12.1, released on August 24, 2016. SPECgpc members at the time of V12.1 release include AMD, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, Intel, Lenovo, NVIDIA, and VMware. SPECviewperf 12.1 features a new Autodesk 3ds Max viewset, Microsoft Windows 10 support, and GUI and reporting improvements.
SPECviewperf 12.1 has been tested and is supported under the 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows 10. Results from SPECviewperf 12.1 remain comparable to those from V12.0.1 and V12.0.2.
Although SPECviewperf 12.1 has been superseded (see next page), we still ran it for a greater range of comparisons. The Quadro P4000's greatest strengths are in SolidWorks (sw-03) and Siemens NX (snx-02), where it is fastest or very close.
Its abilities with CATIA (catia-04), and Creo (creo-01) are decent, but it's less impressive with 3ds Max (3dsmax-05) and Maya (maya-04), where the P4000 is one of the slower cards on test. It is up against more expensive competitors, however, and would still be pretty capable with all of these applications. For product design it's particularly well optimised.
