I’ve updated my post with benchmarks for Maximus & q6000 as well as others.

It’s not pretty for the quadros.

Thanks for doing the benchmark guys. I only wish I would have waited to buy my ATI 5870.

SO this doesn’t help much, but here’s what you guys can expect with a 4,1 model Mac Pro with the following specs:

– 2.4Ghz 8 core Xeon (2009?)
– ATI Radeon HD 5870 (1GB Ram)
– 24GB Ram
– Rendering to a Hitachi 2TB 7200RPM SATA drive

GRAND TOTAL RENDER TIME! 5hours and 45minutes. Ugh. That was using the BGRenderer plugin too.

I just bought the 5870 for Maya and I’m on 10.6.8. Guess it’s time to get a MacVidCards nVidia GTX 570 and Lion. Wondering if it would be better to wait until Mountain Lion ships?

Ben,

These are VERY telling scores you’ve recorded here… and here’s another to spin your head.

I am running an Intel i7 920 @ 4.2GHz (52deg C w/ Coolmaster V8 fan)
with 12Gb of tripple-channel ram at PC16000 speed.

I was doing a project in Adobe Premiere Pro and noticed the rendering was TERRIBLE and this with a GTX580.

I remember this exact computer being faster, only 8 months prior, when I had my GTX295 in it.

Guess what? Using the Mercury Hack… Sure enough, the GTX295 was BLAZINGLY faster, I could bring up apps in the background, surf and more while I rendered.

There’s something to be said for Dual-GPU and DEFINITELY something for having a memory-interface width of 896-bit. CUDA scores are only 480 and I am SO tempted to get a GTX690 because of the high scores it boasts… but after reading your article, I think I’ll wait!

Thanks for doing this test man!

Hi All,

I’ve been looking for a way for AE CS6 to pick up my GTX590 on this one, then I finally realised it’s just a matter of adding it to the supported cards list within the install directory.

I ran the benchmark and ended up with 4min30sec. I’m on PC, I’m nit sure if this was a MAC only experiment.

Interesting all the same I guess.

About 8 minutes on i7 3770K with a 660 TI 2GB videocard.
Just a question, the reflections look pixelated. Is that normal?
