Test system
AMD shows a workstation with dual Intel CPUs E5-1660 @ 3.30GHz, 16GB RAM, Win7 64-bit SP1 and the AMD driver 9.003.3.3 as the test system on the slide. Since a first test showed that the very low clocked CPUs already noticeably slow down the high-end graphics cards in the SPECapc benchmark, I decided not to use my own dual-CPU workstation, but to generally test with a very high clocked consumer CPU.

Solidworks 2013 – First results
Short color theory in advance: The red bars belong to the FirePro cards, there is a rich green for the Fermi Quadros with the current drivers, and there is light green for the Kepler Quadros with the current drivers. The black bars stand for the measurement results made with the older drivers on which the slides are also based. Speaking of slides. If you are still happy to be 2.46 times as fast as a Quadro 6000 with the FirePro W9000 in the “Graphics Composite” benchmark (AMD chart), the fun is over after the driver change. The Quadro 6000 is suddenly 1.12 times faster than the former winner. The FirePro is “only” 1.07 times as fast as the Quadro 4000 that was previously listed with a factor of 2.32 (AMD sheet).
The two other benchmarks on this page offer the same picture, leaving four divisions that could perhaps still save the FirePros’ victory…
