Scan 3XS GW-HTX35 Workstation (w/ Quadro M6000) Review

CINEBENCH 15 is a cross-platform testing suite that measures hardware performance and is the de facto standard benchmarking tool for leading companies and trade journals for conducting real-world hardware performance tests. With the new Release 15, systems with up to 256 threads can be tested.

CINEBENCH is available for both Windows and OS X and is used by almost all hardware manufacturers and trade journals for comparing CPUs and graphics cards.


The CPU rendering portion of Maxon Cinebench R15 shows just how titanic the 40 threads from the two Xeon processors actually are. The result of 3,063 blows away our two reference systems, and shows that cores are king for rendering. The Scan 3XS GW-HTX35 will absolutely excel in this department.



The Cinebench OpenGL results don't dominate so clearly, because clock speed has some influence over graphics, and Maxon Cinema 4D doesn't appear to benefit enormously from the huge number of CUDA cores on the M6000 graphics. So the Scan does beat the K5200-wielding PC Specialist system, but the RENDA system's 4.2GHz CPU clock pushes it mildly ahead.

In our workstation features, we found this was about the only graphics test that did gain significant benefit from CPU clock speed.

DLSS 5 NVIDIA

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.

  1. For the price you would expect it but is watercooling really needed on all these workstation PCs? It looks great (so does the OCUK one) but it just seems a bit OTT for what is in most cases going to be thrown into a server room, perhaps under the table or somewhere else that no one can see, plus no case window to show it off – I know the latter doesn’t matter as it’s a different market and silence is key on NLE & DAW systems but watercooling it seems almost pointless – I’d prefer to save some money and get high-end silence optimised cooling fans and heatsinks from Noctua for example.

    Overclocking is another concern – Which may justify the watercooling – But a super high OC shouldn’t be in workstation PCs for fear of the system crashing. This doesn’t apply to this PC but there are plenty other workstation PCs done by companies like SCAN where they OC the CPU. If the CPU is OC’d a small amount then it’s not too bad but I’ve seen silly high OC’s which (if I was in the business of looking for a Workstation) would put me off as no OC is 100% stable no matter what lengths you go to ensure it doesn’t crash in various benchmark and stress test applications. Workstations should be safe and stable that you can trust for reliability with no fears.

  3. Safety and stability is a good reason for water cooling. Most workstations I test use it even without overclocking because it means larger, quieter fans can be used and the greater cooling means rock-solid stability on long arduous computes like rendering.
