![]() High Bandwidth Cache Controller (HBCC): The Radeon™ Pro WX 8200 graphics card’s state-of-the-art memory system removes the capacity limitations of traditional GPU memory, letting creators and designers work with much larger, more detailed models and assets in real time.In fairness, we don’t tend to see many workstation specific graphics cards and as such it can be difficult to quantify such claims.įor those unaware, these are graphics cards specifically designed for work rather than play. I thought I’d just make that clear now before we’re accused of any bias. In fairness, this claim has been made by AMD themselves. A workstation graphics card that they claim is the most powerful performer for under $1000. In a report via Videocardz though, AMD has just revealed the Radeon Pro WX 8200. With Nvidia set to launch their brand new 20XX this month as well, in terms of gaming graphics cards, there’s not a lot to be excited about from team red. Given how the 580 and Vega range failed to really hold ground with Nvidia we had hoped that something new might have been on the way sooner. In truth, this is a little disappointing. In terms of gaming graphics cards, we’re not expecting AMD to release anything new until at least Summer 2019. However, it can't cope with scenes that require more memory than its 8GB frame buffer.AMD Radeon Pro WX 8200 -Said To Be The Best Workstation GPU For Under $1000 If you are planning to render 3D via GPU compute, the WX 8200 has a lot of OpenCL grunt on offer, despite its sub-£1,000 price. In fact, it's slighlty faster at rendering the classroom scene, and a lot faster with the koro scene. The WX 8200's OpenCL power is clearly immense, because it trounces the P4000 and P5000 in every test, and runs the P6000 closely too. ![]() The results echo our synthetic OpenCL test. But the other five scenes rendered as normal. ![]() We ran them on the four main test GPUs.įor some reason, the barbershop_interior scene would not render on any of the NVIDIA graphics cards. The full benchmark renders six different scenes of varying complexity, and can be run on both CPU and GPU. The benchmark consists of two parts: a downloadable package which runs Blender and renders on several production files, and the Open Data portal on, where the results will be (optionally) uploaded. The benchmark aims to provide an optimal comparison between system hardware and installations, and to assist developers to track performance during Blender development. ![]() The Blender Benchmark is a platform to collect and display the results of hardware and software performance tests with the open source Blender 3D content creation application. So we have included these partial results to show how the synthetic OpenCL performance shown with LuxMark 3.1 pans out in a real GP Compute render on the AMD and NVIDIA architecturesĪs already noted, the WX 8200 and P4000 run out of memory with this render and can't complete, but it's clear that the AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 has a lot of GPU Compute power compared even to the Quadro P6000. It should also be noted that whilst AMD cards are fine with 32 x 32 tile sizes, NVIDIA cards prefer 256 x 256. Unfortunately, this render is so intensive that it doesn't run on cards with only 8GB frame buffers – including the AMD Radeon Pro WX 8200 and NVIDIA Quadro P4000. The benchmark renders a single frame from this film in intermediate quality. Project Gooseberry is the code name for the Blender Institute’s 6th open movie, Cosmos Laundromat - a 10-minute short, the pilot for the planned first-ever free/open source animated feature film. In GPU mode, it will render using OpenCL with AMD graphics cards, and CUDA with NVIDIA graphics cards.įor this test, we used the Gooseberry Production Benchmark. The latest version at the time of writing, 2.79b, supports rendering on the GPU as well as the CPU. It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline-modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing and motion tracking, even video editing and game creation. Blender 2.79b: Gooseberry Production Benchmarkīlender is a free and open source 3D creation suite. ![]()
