Besides the SPECviewperf tests, we have also tested our professional graphics accelerators in some widely spread 3D modeling suites with the SPECapc test scripts.

All in all, ATI FireGL V7350 can boast higher speed than Nvidia Quadro FX 4500.

However, these results demonstrate only the performance in OpenGL mode. As is known, 3ds max can also work in DirectX. And those professional graphics accelerators that are based on the initial gaming GPU designs are usually faster when working via DirectX. And our results prove this point, actually.

As for the ATI FireGL V7350 performance, it manages to defeat Nvidia Quadro FX 4500 here. The ATI newcomer is faster in all test modes and its average performance rate is about 12% higher than the average performance of the rival. The performance advantage is the biggest when we work in wireframe mode.
