Benchmark Results: SPECapc Autodesk Maya 2009
by
Uwe Scheffel
In the 2009 version of the SPECapc Maya benchmark, this year’s cards are faster than last year’s models. Interestingly, while the Quadro 5000 beats the FirePro V8800, the situation is reversed in the previous generation, with AMD pushing ahead of the Nvidia card.

Bottom line: wait a bit more till you purchase a card. If AMD launches a driver that's on par with Nvidia's, they'll have an equal, if not better, card at a lower cost. If not, go Nvidia.
Quadro 6000 is the actual product with fermi 100 chip (480 cores) ... and it is the product to be compared with v 8800
An interesting article, but somewhat unrealistic. Virtually all designers have two monitors in front of them. As I have found to my cost, driving two monitors for 3D work is a whole different ballgame to driving just one. Even the figures for 1920 x 1200 resolutions are not really sufficient. Various aberrations are liable to occur when two displays are in use, which do not show when only one is used. I suggest that the next time you do a review of workstation graphics cards, you use two monitors as standard, and then at various screen resolutions.
I'm pretty sure all the firepro cards come with memory in gbs rather than mbs...
Why are you comparing ati's top end card to nvidia's middle of the road card instead of comparing ati's top end card to nvidia's?

if anything this benchmark should work in ATI's favour as they are comapring a GTx465 base to an ATI 5870 base card ....ATi should easily trump it .. and guess what? as normal ... they don't.
these forums are so full of fanbois of all varietys nowdays ... i'd buy an ATI if i thought they were better ... but .. i dont
