We’re planning on buying a new powerful desktop machine. How much better would it be to go with Xeon CPU and Quadro GPU instead of top of the line i7 and GeForce 980? Significantly better or just slightly better?
So as you can see, unlike with Quadros, those pure mesh scores are strongly limited by turning on AA.
This doesn’t affect the normal Rhino nurbs modelling, but if you work with heavy architectural models with lots of meshes, then you will notice the difference.
Yes but it only applies to nVidia and if you have AA turned on (Which is the default).
AMD doesn’t cripple their cards in the same way, but their AA isn’t very nice and they have a long history of bad OpenGL drivers that can cause various issues and display artifacts.
For a stock, base-model i3 6100 CPU I’m pleased with the score. Most articles on the web indicate this CPU is easy to overclock by 15-20%. I’ll post test results from that once I’ve got it all sorted out and stable. The OS hard drive on this PC is a Samsung nvme 256GB plugged straight into an M2 socket on the underside of the motherboard. Early impressions are that it’s fast, but it can get a bit hot. Total system power draw at the wall socket, including 1x Dell 3007 30” monitor + 2x Dell 2007FP 20” monitors + 2 further SSD’s never goes over 260W. If I had LED monitors, that figure would be closer to 150W. Not bad for a 4960 x 1600 desktop
Hi there! I’ve been using Holomark for about a year now and it’s been a great way to benchmark different system configurations. Well I just built a new computer and at first Holomark was working fine for me (like it always has in the past) but after changing some settings on my computer, including a modest overclocking of the cpu and setting my Quardo global preset to ‘Workstation App - Advanced Streaming’, Holomark now never finishes and always gets hung up at the exact same point (please see screenshot). My computer doesn’t freeze, crash or anything like that. It’s simply that holomark strops running. Even when I go back to my original PC settings with no overclock and setting my nvidia settings back to the default ‘base profile’ preset I encounter this same problem. I even tried installing an older version of Rhino 5 (SR9) and holomark continues to stop working at the exact same point. Does anyone know what might be causing this issue?
Update: Well I continue to have the same issue where Holomark doesn’t finish but maybe 1 in 10 tries it will actually complete and give me a score. My scores have varied pretty significantly, even with the same GPU and OC settings, ranging from about 75,000 to 100,000. Below is the highest score I have received yet with all default settings in the nvidia control panel and a 25% overclock (4.5 GHz) on my CPU. I’d like to do some testing with different nvidia settings but given the troubles I’m having with Holomark right now it’s unfortunately too time consuming.
I have no idea, I see almost all of your CPU scores are lower, but GPU score 14 and 15 are higher. Maybe a background process is running. It wouldn’t be the first time an upgrade requires some background processing to complete the changes it has made.
The 1070 is surprisingly much lower than 980 which scored 58000 in the following post.
The brand new Titan X Pascal only got 42000 in one of the previous post.
What’s happening with pascal based cards?
Why is the CPU score of 6700HQ so horrible :< It’s even much lower than i7-6650U’s 13340 on Surface 4 Pro. Something wrong with UDT.
Tested 6700HQ on a All-in-one at uni, CPU benchmark seems more reasonable.
