I have two questions about the benchmark tests in SW2011.
Can some one explain what the "render" test results under 1 mean?
Specifically why would one instance of an X 920 CPU have a value of 0.6 (with a Quadro FX 2800m) and in another
instance be over 54.3 ( with a Quadro FX 3800m) ?
Both instances are Dell Precision M6500 platforms and both video cards are high end.
Why are sub $200 video cards performing on par with high end cards?
there doesn't seem to be a clear winner on performance from the test results.
given that the high end CPUs would be partnered with high end graphics boards it is supprising
to see a Quadro 600 getting the same test results (31.5) as a Quadro 4000.
Shouldn't the 4000 be 5 times faster?
Video cards have NO affect on rendering times. Rendering is CPU dependant.
