The SPECviewperf 12.1 benchmark is the worldwide standard for measuring graphics performance based on professional applications. The benchmark measures the 3D graphics performance of systems running under the OpenGL and Direct X application programming interfaces. The benchmark’s workloads, called viewsets, represent graphics content and behavior from actual applications.
The latest version is SPECviewperf 12.1, released on August 24, 2016. SPECgpc members at the time of V12.1 release include AMD, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, Intel, Lenovo, NVIDIA, and VMware. SPECviewperf 12.1 features a new Autodesk 3ds Max viewset, Microsoft Windows 10 support, and GUI and reporting improvements.
SPECviewperf 12.1 has been tested and is supported under the 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows 10. Results from SPECviewperf 12.1 remain comparable to those from V12.0.1 and V12.0.2.
The V25R-RA750G2 shows mostly a very good array of results in SPECviewperf 12.1. In most viewsets, the AMD Radeon Pro Duo significantly outperformed the AMD FirePro W8100 in the RENDA system, which is the previous generation of AMD graphics. It's also worth nothing that the Scan system was using the top-end NVIDIA Quadro at the time, the M6000, which costs at least three times as much as the Radeon Pro Duo.
The only slightly odd result is in maya-04, although from experience we know this test is quite sensitive to single-core clock speeds, and the RENDA was running at a faster frequency than the Armari.
Note that the reference systems were using a previous dot-release of SPECviewperf 12 that didn't include the 3dsmax-05 viewset. The score of 96.53 shows that this workstation would be pretty capable at running Autodesk 3ds Max.
Overall, the V25R-RA750G2 presents a competent set of results in the CAD, animation and engineering tests of SPECviewperf 12.1, showing that it will be a capable choice for modelling. However, the AMD Radeon Pro Duo graphics has another trick up its sleeve when its GPU power is harnessed for other purposes than real-time 3D rendering onscreen when modelling.
