(CG) Group test: AMD and Nvidia professional GPUs 2013

[AtenRa]

For anyone interested on professional GPUs this is a very nice review with lots of 3D applications + 3D Game engines (Unreal and CryEngine 3).

Group test: AMD and Nvidia professional GPUs 2013

Interesting....Guess dependent on the specific uses the AMD cards give some very good bang for the buck!

Thanks for posting. I would like to have seen a couple of consumer cards based off of the same GPU to see if they are acceptable in any of those tests. That probably wasn't the point of the review, though.

Where it has CUDA only tests they should really have included the CPU path for comparison.
They should have done that for any tests where it was possible really, just to give a baseline.

I'd take these results with a massive grain of salt. At least Blender Cycles results are wrong. Since not even a Titan would beat these cards those results are impossible for a full 1920*1200 render, it's likely a 50% 1920*1200 at a non optimized tile size.

My GTX 580 does 2:31 min at full 1920*1200 and 0:41 min at 50% with optimized tile sizes. Taking in mind that it's still the 3rd (4th soon) fastest card in Cycles behind the GTX Titan and the GTX 780 I think these comparisons are most likely flawed by the reviewer's sheer incompetence.

lol they used a GTX 470 based Quadro.
