Pieterjan Heyse Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Hi everyone, I'm currently in the process of writing the specs for our new VDI cluster. We are running a cluster with K1 cards, Horizon View and low end (256MB) vGPU profiles. This cluster is due for a replacement and we are looking into the Nvidia P40 as a replacement. We'd like to be able to judge the performance improvement in an objective manner and since I am not the application specialist here, I'm wondering if there is some accepted method of comparing performance within vectorworks between systems. Some kind of test I can run on our old cluster and on a new, demo system, to compare the user experience within Vectorworks. I'm expecting an improvement, since I'm looking into going to 1 or 2GB vGPU profiles and a more recent GPU architecture, but I need to benchmark my CPU usage too. Is there anyone here running this kind of hardware or can offer me some kind of advice with regards to vGPU on recent hardware? Quote Link to comment
Bas Vellekoop Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I think Cinebench could be useful in this case. It gives scores for your cpu and gpu. 1 Quote Link to comment
Pieterjan Heyse Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Thanks, I used cinebench to benchmark 512, 1024 and 2048MB of video RAM on a K1 card. Now I'll try and get my hands on a P40 card and maybe a server to do the same benchmarks. For future reference, I have attached my results. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted January 30, 2018 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 30, 2018 You can find some more benchmark results on machines we did locally here: Generally, a score of above 30 on the GPU is alright for light work as long as the files aren't too complex or don't include a lot of imported meshes.
