SPECapc SW 2007
in [SolidWorks]

From: Anna Wood on 13 May 2007 15:11 TOP, I would not make the assumption that graphic cards have gotten slower. My graphics cards on my systems are very low end onboard video or game cards (that is why I noted the graphic card specs in my post). Art's system is a laptop and probably a bit lower end on the graphics cards scale. I will post numbers from my work machine which has a P4 dual core Intel and an FX 3450 graphics card Monday evening. I would like to see some results from folks with the Intel C2D E6700 and with the FX1500 and up graphics cards. I would expect even better numbers from the benchmark.

From: Gil Alsberg on 22 May 2007 12:19 Anna, Here are my results from SW2007 x64 SP2.2 on an Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe mobo with Quadro FX1500: OS : Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP Professional x64 Edition OS SP : Service Pack 2 CPU : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+ # of CPU : 2 Memory : 2046 **** Overall Test Results **** Note: All results are in seconds. Lower scores are better. Test Number 1 Test Total = 344.65 Graphics = 94.49 CPU = 102.05 I/O = 148.11 Test Number 2 Test Total = 350.02 Graphics = 100.17 CPU = 104.85 I/O = 145 Test Number 3 Test Total = 396.4 Graphics = 107.95 CPU = 104.68 I/O = 183.77 Test Number 4 Test Total = 331.93 Graphics = 99.97 CPU = 95.51 I/O = 136.45 Test Number 5 Test Total = 345.76 Graphics = 92.98 CPU = 103.02 I/O = 149.76 Test Averages for 5 tests(s). Test Total = 353.75 Graphics = 99.11 CPU = 102.02 I/O = 152.62 Cheers, Gil "Anna Wood" <mi54(a)yahoo.com> wrote in message news:1179083491.733549.246920(a)l77g2000hsb.googlegroups.com... > TOP, > > I would not make the assumption that graphic cards have gotten > slower.

From: TOP on 22 May 2007 19:06 Anna, I was being a bit sarcastic about SPECapc because it should be obvious that CPU and IO should not flip flop with graphic scores. If SPECapc was really a benchmark scores from one year would be comparable with scores from another year. They are not. TOP
From: Anna Wood on 22 May 2007 23:31 TOP, You are using the benchmark differently then what I plan to use it for. I really do not care about past performance of older version of SolidWorks. For us the biggest performance issues we have are typically user induced. We use the latest software versions from SolidWorks, for us it is important to keep up with our customers. My interest at the moment is to see what is the best, most cost effective hardware I can get to get the most out of the current version of SolidWorks. Different strokes for different folks.... :-) Regards, Anna On May 22, 4:06 pm, TOP <kelln...(a)cbd.net> wrote: > Anna, > > I was being a bit sarcastic about SPECapc because it should be obvious > that CPU and IO should not flip flop with graphic scores.

Anna, I use it for the same things you do. I just question using the term benchmark because benchmarks aren't supposed to move and SPECapc moves from release to release and year to year. Call it a stress test or something else because that is all it is. TOP |
