After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.
Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com

SPECviewperf 7.1
This is a portable OpenGL benchmark for workstation class video card benchmarking, the results don't really say much for realworld gaming but who says that gaming cards are only ment for gaming.
"Currently, there are six standard SPECopc application viewsets:
3dsmax-02, based on SPECapc for 3ds max 3.1 configured with the Open GL driver, includes three models containing an average of 1.5 million vertices each, and tests performance of scenes with different levels of lighting.
dx-08, based on IBM's Data Explorer application, has 10 different tests.
drv-09, based on Intergraph's DesignReview model review package, has five different tests.
light-06, based on Discreet's Lightscape radiosity application, has four tests.
proe-02, based on SPECapc for Pro/ENGINEER 2001, measures two models in three modes - shaded, wireframe and hidden-line removal (HLR).
ugs-03, based on SPECapc for Unigraphics V17, tests performance based on an engine model containing 2.1 million vertices.
These type of applications typically render large data sets. All six viewsets represent relatively high-end applications."
