SiSoftware Launches Sandra 2009 with GPU Bench
Here at the HotHardware labs, we like to make use of
SiSoftware's Sandra benchmarks for quick and dirty measurements on relative
performance of a product versus another in its class. While the benchmark suite
is virtually all synthetic testing, we've found that results and measurements
generally scale pretty well with real-world performance in many
cases. Regardless, this release nearly sneaked past us yesterday but it
appears SiSoftware has launched Sandra 2009 and this time, they've stepped up
to 3D graphics and GPGPU benchmarking as well.
Sandra Benchmark Modules
Sandra Video (GFX) Rendering Benchmark
London, UK, September 1st 2008 - We are pleased to launch SiSoftware Sandra 2009, the latest version of our award-winning utility, which includes remote analysis, benchmarking and diagnostic features for PCs, servers and networks....

Sandra Video (GFX) Rendering Benchmark
New modules
- Graphics (GPGPU) Processing: Benchmark the
graphics performance of the graphics processors (GPGPUs). Such
operations are used by specialized software, e.g. scientific software,
image manipulation, video decoders/encoders, games that make GPU
performance pretty important.
- Graphics (GPGPU) Bandwidth:
Benchmark the bandwidth of the memory of the graphics processors
(GPGPUs) and the bandwidth of the bus that connects them to your
computer. The speed at which the data can be sent to the GPGPUs,
internally processed and the results sent back is as important as the
processing power of the GPGPUs.
- Video (GFX) Rendering:
Benchmark the graphics performance of the video adapters (GFXs). Shows
how your graphics processors handle rendering in comparison to other
typical graphics processors. Such operations are used by all graphics
software, image manipulation, video decoders/encoders, games and modern
operating systems.
- Video (GFX) Memory:
Benchmark the bandwidth of the memory of the video adapters (GFXs) and
the bandwidth of the bus that connects them to your computer.
- Cryptographic Performance:
Benchmark the cryptographic performance of modern processors that
support hardware cryptographic engines. The most common algorithms, AES
(AES128, AES256) for encryption/decryption and SHA (SHA1, SHA256) for
hashing are supported.
