Holomark 2 Released!

I opened the file I previously attached; a jpg file from the windows snip tool, and manipulated the color balance and black and white balance to see if there were curves for the graph-none found. I’ll run the test again and see what happens. Cheers, Rob

I ran the first benchmark (which I’ve previously posted) while “docked” to an Apple Cinema Display. I decided to run it again at home, with just the laptop screen, to see if it was different. I got a little bit better score, when not connected to the big Cinema display:

Hi Jorgen,

No problem installing my score:

I am interested in the Quadro K5000, and I am wondering which Motherboard and CPU would give me the best compatibility and performance. Also does the K5000 require a PCIE 2 x16 slot only?

Greg

I am not sure that I have it set up correctly, but here is the entry level Nvidia Quadro K600 (almost a handful).

This one has the AA set to 8.

Here is the same test on the same GPU and CPU with the AA set to NONE.

About 3000 difference!

Greg

my old MacBook Pro (2008):

It is obvious that AA requires power, and that it only represents 20% extra load is not that bad.
If you look at your scores you’ll see that many of the tests are not much affected. There the CPU / Rhino is the bottle neck. While the fast ones that already have really high fps are limited by the GPU so those are affected by the AA too.

I am surprised to see that you got so low scores at GPU_21. That I never would have guessed with the K600! Really surprising, as your CPU is great.

Also I was really surprised that your GPU_14 went DOWN from 12 to 4 when you turned off AA… That doesn’t make sense at all.

Hi Holo,

Here is another with the AA set to Zero, and the CPU set to maximum (as opposed to Normal)

Regards, Greg

Thanks John,

Reverted back to the older driver and got pretty much the same resultHM2_STE_050514.txt (1.9 KB)

Your CPU might limit the scores a bit, but it should not affect it too much.
Here are my Quadro 4000 scores, as you can see my i7 950 gets similar scores to your CPU.
About a year ago I was frustrated with the Q4000 and experienced with different drivers, clean-uninstalled an all. Nothing changed, until I clean uninstalled Rhino 5. Cleared out all reg entries from earlier V5 betas etc, and that sped it up with about 20%, but I have no idea why.

Here’s my old - but trusty - Dell macine. Actually surprised that it got above 20K score, since the graphics card is so old/slow, but I guess the CPU still packs an OK punch.

When I type Holo it finds the command Holomark2 but nothing is happening. Any clue?

Holo,

Thank you for the great benchmark and support. I will run this new improved version again on this system and report back with the results. In the meantime here are the results from my laptop

EDIT: Above I was referring to run the benchmark on the Dell T7610 system with dual Intel Xeons that had not issues with UDT

Please do this:
Type Holomark2 and hit enter.
Then hit F2 and copy - paste everything from “Holomark2” here.

Thanks

Command: Holomark2
Command: _CommandHistory

No action at all.
