Everlasting "QUADRO" question!!!

[Zdravko Barisic]

HI!

 

I've been searching through quadro topics all over the magazines+internet forums for last years too much, since the GF2 is realised 'till nowadays. And I see that "quadro" mistery

is still well alive!

So, my idea is to play simply old school bench from MAX 4.2 called "bmark4" to test it, is it still worth to pay extra € for natively Quadro.

 

ALL are invited, please download the test for 3dsMAX from here

 

http://rapidshare.com/files/3108339/bmark4.rar.html

 

It is simply max script, if it does not start at first run, try it again and it works. I do not trust to much tp SPECViewPErf syntetic tests, 'cause this is true reallife 3dsMAX test.

 

PLease post your results with 1280x1024 or 1280x960 resolution, even you maybe use wide screen it doesnt matter a lot, with this res we can compare the resluts better even with some older VGA or monitor.

 

Have a fun!

Here's my old work computer, Viz 2007, XP SP2 32bit. Dual Xeon 3.4 (old school P4 family), with Revit running in the background. There was an image missing, "rhino" something.

I tried running that on Max08 but there were a bunch of textures I didn't have or feel like tracking down, so some of the tests (notably multitex) aren't accurate. But...
