NVIDIA Quadro M4000 Review

Creo viewset (creo-01)
The creo-01 viewset was created from traces of the graphics workload generated by the Creo 2™ application from PTC. Model sizes range from 20 to 48 million vertices. The viewset includes numerous rendering modes supported by the application, including wireframe, anti-aliasing, shaded, shaded with edges, and shaded reflection modes.

Viewset tests:

• Worldcar in shaded mode
• Worldcar in wireframe with anti-aliasing enabled
• Worldcar in shaded edges mode
• Worldcar in hidden mode
• Worldcar in shaded reflection mode
• Worldcar in shaded mode
• Worldcar in no-hidden mode with anti-aliasing enabled
• Worldcar in shaded mode with anti-aliasing enabled
• Plane in shaded mode
• Plane in shaded edges mode
• Plane in hidden mode
• Plane in shaded mode with anti-aliasing enabled
• Plane in shaded edges mode with high-quality edges enabled

The creo-01 viewset is clearly more sensitive to memory quantity and performance than brute GPU speed. The M4000 cruises past the K4200, beating its score by 31 per cent, and the K5200 is less than 4 per cent further ahead. The double helping of faster GDDR5 over the K4200 is clearly paying dividends here.
