Nvidia Titan

Bpositive: I am not a Max guru, so I am very curious to hear your observations on the viewport performance in Max. I have a fast system, but I find I am often waiting for Max with different operations.

Viewport performance is about 35% to 50% better than a Quadro 5000 from what I can tell, Its defiantly better!...Does anyone know of a Max viewport benchmark?

(3) Evga Titans SC--------------------38.07 sec

I was hoping for better...

How come? if one titan renders the scene in 1.47, then 3 should render it in 29 sec, you got 38 you got 38 sec, but its probably due to the initialization time...I think a big difference would be on a larger frame...

Thanks, eyepiz - good to know! I, too, am curious to see a benchmark comparison.

Are you sure about that?
I did not know of a single GF thus far that would even match much slower quadros in viewport, and the Titan is 30-50% faster than the 5000? That would make it about 20-40% faster than a K5000...I have my (reasonable?) doubts about it.

Viewport performance is heavily biased due to drivers. I doubt that nVidia would overlook that.

I thought since Nitrous that Quadro's had lost their edge on the viewport performance end of things? Could be wrong.

Also, on a side note, one of the 'sneak peak new features' of max 2014 seems to be dramatically better viewport performance.

This review pretty much reflects the way things go...with complex scenes, the quadro advantage is considerable. I would be happy if you could match a Quadro 2000 with a Titan, not a 5000...
Again - imho - it's in the drivers, so not much you can do about it other than modding the drivers and/or the card's BIOS which has become considerably harder with newer generations.

I have Both a Quadro 5000 and Titans and also run large complex scenes. I can't say exactly how faster the titan is compared to the 5000 but it faster. I've tested one of 3DS Max is sample scenes (03 Ik-joe (Spline IK).max)

Quadro Max FPS 70
Titan Max FPS 100+

Obviously you are using not that complicated scenes to stress either of the two cards.
Complicated scenes were viewport performance would be of an issue would report fps lower than 20, and in many cases in the single digits.

Fps above 25-30 in 3DS are imho butter-smooth. The goal is consistency and good average fps on really complicated scenes.
For simple stuff GTX and Radeon cards were working just fine for a long time.

[eyepiz]

Yea that test is not complicated at all...I just tested it because it one we all have. I have large interior architectural animations consisting of thousands of objects, millions of polygons that bring the Quadro 5000 into single digit FPS even the 680 GTX I had did slightly better than the 5000. I am using the Nitrous viewport instead of direct 3D.

Hello,


1 titan + 2 580GTX : 49 sec (remote server)

Not bad at all.

[fasterG]

I'm probably going to sell my Quadro 4000 tomorrow, and order a Titan.
I understand the Titan is superior in RT rendering and Adobe progs, and, after reading this thread, it seems that there is reason to worry about the viewport response in Maya either?
It will keep up?

[Morbid Angel]

I think quadro cards perform better in maya then geforce ones though geforce cards are way more powerful, I think nvidia makes it this way to keep its customer base. Not sure of course how titan will perform, I'd say dont sell your quadro just yet, you can probably run two cards at the same time...

Really? I thought this Geforce card was the first in its series to compete with Quadros even in viewport. Since I use After Effects a lot too, its tempting to get all the Cuda force from Titan.. but as you say, maybe wiser to wait for the first complete 3D review!

[Morbid Angel]

you can probably hang on to it just in case I don't know about titan, only time will tell, but you have to keep in mind that the driver makes a difference too, quadro has its own driver, geforce its own, its a weird game they are playing
