AMD Radeon Pro W7600 And W7500 Review: Value-Driven Pro-Vis Graphics
SPECviewperf 2020 v3.1 OpenGL / DX Benchmarks
SPECviewperf includes a variety of tests, which produce significantly different framerates, so we've sorted them into three groups to make the results a bit easier to sort through. Please note the legends at the bottom of each chart, which designate the application or viewset used...
The Radeon Pro W7600 And W7500 offer performance that's somewhat scattered all over the map here. Generally speaking, these new Radeon Pro cards trade blows with the W6600 and Quadro RTX 400, but offer good framerates across the board.
VR & Ray Tracing Benchmarks
UL VRMark is designed to test a PC’s readiness for the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift virtual reality headsets. The benchmark does not, however, require that one of the headsets is attached to the PC to run and it uses an in-house graphics engine and content to ensure comparable results between different platforms. We ran the "Blue Room" VRMark test at defaults settings here, which is currently the most taxing test offered by the tool. We followed up UL's VRMark with the DirectX Ray Tracing (DXR) Feature test recently added to the 3DMark suite...
VRMark has the Radeon Pro W7600 outgunning all of the other mainstream cards, though there is a massive performance uptick available by stepping up to a Wx800 series card (from either generation). Of course, that comes at a significantly higher cost as well. The Radeon Pro W7500 ends up trailing the W6600 again here -- in a test like this, there's no getting by that slower memory speed.
The Radeon Pro W7600 And W7500's newer RDNA 3 architecture gives both cards an advantage over the previous-gen W6600 here. And the W7600 is able to overtake the Quadro RTX 4000 as well.
Blackmagic RAW Speed Test Results
The Blackmagic RAW Speed Test is a CPU and GPU benchmarking tool that tests the speed of decoding full-resolution Blackmagic RAW frames. The tool can be used to evaluate the performance at various resolutions and bitrates on the CPU or using OpenCL on a GPU. We're reporting two results here, at both 4K and 8K resolutions, but at differing compression levels.
The Blackmagic RAW speed test has the Radeon Pro W7600 And W7500 sandwiching the Radeon Pro W6600 yet again, though the deltas separating the cards are relatively small. The high-end (much more expensive) cards and the Quadro have a marked advantage here, however.
