Quadro (2500M etc) vs GeForce (7900gtx etc) OpenGL benchmarks

Since this topic seems to keep coming up, and since facts are thin and speculation rife, how about getting some benchmarks together?

SPECviewperf and SPECopenglperf seem to be unmaintained; GL Excess seems to be a current benchmark.

Interested in 2500M vs 7900GTX; 1500M vs 7900GS; any 3500M vs 7950 if people have them; and also in re-biosed Quadros or GeForces. To allow easy comparison, please state the cpu and speed, video card, video driver, clocks, and test with vsync off at 1024x768, 32bit fullscreen.

M90 with Forceware 97.02

T7200 CPU (2GHz) Quadro FX 2500M @ 500/600 (ie stock clocks), ForceWare 97.02 driver.

17,173 XSMarks - Fill 25,717 Poly 16,188 VRAM 13,884 CPU/FPU 8,602

That was done in haste at the airport, struck me as low, so I retested just now. see follow-on post.

Why SPECviewperf is unmaintained?? According to SPEC website, the benchamrk was last last updated on 09/26/2006. GLExcess, on the other hand, is 5 years old.

Anyway, here are benchmarks of my fx2500m "as is" and bios-modded to GeForce 7900gtx.
In both cases:

- stock clocks (500/600)
- 93.71 drivers with modded inf from laptopvideo2go
- Image Settings set to "Quality" (using NVTray)
- All OpenGL optimizations are disabled (using NVTray)
- LOD bias set to Medium (0)
- AA & AF set to "Application-controlled"

QuadroFX 2500M: 20648 XSMARKS
GeForce 7900GTX: 23392 XSMARKS

Well, mine's not a GTX, but I will throw mine in anyhoo.



It's kinda funny browsing the GLExcess website, as they are talking about 'upgrading' to 32MB video cards, and 'DDR Boards' lol. This is a seriously old benchie. I bet if they didn't have a 1000FPS cap in each bench, I woulda scored just a bit higher!

***EDIT***
Just looked at the scores again, and noticed that this benchmark is no good for us anyway. The average scores are WAY higher than the reported MAX scores, which I think messes up the final score in the end. Still, kinda interesting to watch though.

retest

Now I get 19,278 with stock clocks.

Also, I notice that the driver version I am running (97.02) is different to what you guys are running. Are the older drivers better?

You are right, which means the benchmark is shot. Oh well. Goes to look for a better one.

Also when I ran it I got totally different numbers than Krazy. The score was about the same, but the first 3 were 8000 lower on mine and the last 3 were 4000 higher. Each time I ran it I got different results too, sometime certain tests would not even run, so I didn't even bother posting them.

Maybe Doom 3 or Quake 4 or Prey?

I was thinking more of Cinebench
http://www.maxon.net/pages/download/cinebench_e.html

Which runs automated CAD and rendering tests. It gives a CPU test, a multi-processor CPU test (so you can see if two cores does give you something like twice the speed) and also a comparison of software and hardware GL (so you can see what sort of speed up your GPU actually produces).

I downloaded it and ran it; I'm currently playing with different driver versions to see which gives the best results.
