Performance in Professional Applications

The final rendering in 3ds max is another purely processor-related task – the memory subsystem doesn’t practically affect the speed. However, the i865PE fell somewhat behind the new chipsets.

Unfortunately, I cannot call the results in SPECviewperf 7.1.1 correct. The strange scores in this test are probably due to the imperfect drivers of the PCI Express x16 graphics cards. If you’re a user of professional OpenGL applications, you may want to pay attention to this fact.
