Well, here is what I got… Stock fresh install and no adjustments made anywhere. Any suggestions on anything to change in settings on Rhino or on the display card? It says I have the most up to date driver for the display.
interesting…with antialiasing to none…I got better. I do not understand why my CPU score is lower than others with the same cpu though…wierd…
Reading the most recent posts, it looks as though the i7 4790K currently offers the best bang for the bucks. A little surprising, as it’s been around for a while. Is it the Best Buy for Rhino modelling (I do very little rendering - that gets farmed out to others now) and spend a lot of my time in wireframe, shaded or ghosted modes, with occasional bouts of Neon. File sizes rarely stray above 150Mb. I’ll be keeping my Quadro K4000 for now as it’s such a stable, quiet and capable thing. Will the i7-6700K give me any noticeable speed improvement for things like Booleans and UDT? I’m not interested in any 140W monster.
I’ll be upgrading from a mildly overclocked i5-3570K.
Most Rhino stuff is related to single core processing so you would see a slight benefit in the 4790K over the 6700K, but 5% isn’t something you notice unless you benchmark two systems side by side. But if you use Neon then you will benefit from 6 cores instead of 4. 40% speed increase is something you notice, it’s like 1 minute vs 1 minute and 25 seconds, but even that isn’t night and day.
So I can see now that settings within Rhino make a difference in the scores obtained. Are there settings within my computer that would result in a higher cpu score? I have seen higher cpu scores with the same processor I have and less memory. Or, are the higher cpu scores related to settings within Rhino itself?
I am only getting 16700ish and this same system is getting over 20000
Thanks!
Here is an example…
I’m building a new Mini ITX computer and shopping for cards. I used a K5000 for over a year and have liked it but I was interested in other possibilities and just got the M5000 today. I ran everything at the same settings, NVIDIA slider set to Quality, AAx4 in Rhino with no other filtering/AA. I tried KBoost with the 980Ti under EVGA Precision tool, but it didn’t make a significant difference in the test results.

It wont double
Of the Holomark 2 tests, which ones are multi-threaded and for those that are, how many threads do they run? I thought I seen a discussion about this on here, but can’t find anything?
I want to cry…
Your CPU is causing some issues, but I am not sure why.
The twist and taper is way off. Maybe a bios update should be done on the mainboard.
This is probably what’s causing some of the low graphiccard scores too, as many of the tests are deeply dependent on the CPU. (The CPU is a bottleneck)
I tried Titan with 4930k.
So i really have a bottleneck with dual xeon, but don’t know how to solve it.
I tried disabling hypertreading first, but didn’t work…
I also noticed that Holomark look at Titan as 4096Mb ram instead of 12Gb.
Is that correct? Strange thing… Now i’m gonna try gtx780 with xeon…
These are result of gtx780 + 4930k
Here is the result.
Gtx 780 is gettig slower because of bottleneck with xeon.
Now I’ll try to solve.
I forgot to tell that i have already upgraded bios…
At least you have narrowed it down and that’s a step in the right direction. I don’t know much about dual xeons, even though I have one (2x6core), so I searched a bit for you and came across this:
So read through and check your memory configuration, it seems it’s important to have 8 units of memory, 4 for each physical processor, for them to run properly.
So do you have 8x8GB, or 4x16 or 2x32?
I’m back!
So, I am in the process of upgrading my Studio Computer. First step was upgrading the CPU. I went from a 4770k to a 4790k. Currently I am using OC Genie to overclock. 4770k was at 4.2Ghz, 4790k is at 4.5Ghz.
Next upgrade will be going SLI with the MSI 980TI Gaming, cant wait!
Ran Holomark2 in Performance Mode with AA off:
Look at that GPU_17 test score! 783 Units!
For reference here is the score with Quality Mode on, and AA at 8x:
Here is a comparison of 4x AA and no AA on the quadro 4000. Also as you can see my “old” dual xeon delivers ok CPU scores:
And with no AA:
I was just curious to see if my system would even finish the test, given the frequency of crashes due to the Intel® HD Graphics. It did finish! Here’s my score:

Here you can see how the 970 performs on my old i7.
Notice how AA really affects GeForce compared to my quadro system (two posts up):
My impression is also that the Quadro 4x AA is close to the 970 8x AA in visual quality.
That said, I run my 970 at 8x AA most of the time, but I lower it when I have to deal with huge meshes.
(@John_Brock this might be handy info on the wiki)
And I barely notice any difference on the two systems.
No AA:

I really don’t see ANYTHING wrong with new gen AMD cards.This is my first AMD card in 20+ years which I bought mainly because of DX12 - also didn’t do my homework ALL THE WAY THROUGH… 
I have ALL stock; i7 4790K@4.0Ghz with AMD Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 reference card with 3GB (loud as a fuc*** fighter jet 
) and surprisingly everything runs smooth as silk…
