NVIDIA Quadro M4000 Review

Showcase viewset (showcase-01)

The showcase-01 viewset was created from traces of Autodesk’s Showcase 2013 application. The model used in the viewset consists of 8 million vertices. The viewset is the first viewset in SPECviewperf to feature DirectX rendering. Rendering modes included in the viewset include shading, projected shadows, and self-shadows.

The following tests are included in the viewset:

1. Shaded with self-shadows
2. Shaded with self-shadows and projected shadows
3. Shaded
4. Shaded with projected shadows

This test is unusual because it measures DirectX rather than OpenGL performance. But results are similar to medical-01, with the M4000 around 16 per cent ahead of the K4200 and 13 per cent behind the K5200. So our conclusion is the same – another win for the M4000, but K5200 owners can rest easy.
