Performance is the key. Let’s first look at SPEC Viewperf 2020 performance. Viewperf is useful for us here because it is very good at isolating the GPU performance.

The most GPU-intensive test, Energy, shows the greatest performance difference of nearly 60%. The least difference is found in one of the CAD tests, Siemens NX, with a performance gain of just over 20%. Mostly the performance delta in these tests lies between 30% and 40%.

Since Viewperf is excellent at isolating the GPU performance because it strips out the application-related overhead while using typical geometry from each set of software. What this implies is that you will likely see a smaller performance difference when benchmarking the applications themselves because the general application overhead is part of your real workflow.

The points to take away from this benchmark result are:


1. The Quadro RTX 3000 has a larger performance advantage when running GPU-heavy workloads, and
2. Interactive 3D application performance will be noticeably more responsive with the Quadro RTX 3000 even if the overall application performance increase is not 20% - 60% as in these tests.
