I have a dual hexacore CPU (Intel(R) Xeon(R) X5690 3.47 GHz x2), but rendering previews is still fairly slow. As well as have quicker simulations for TurbulenceFD (which I currently have to run on my CPU because my Quadro only handles very short/simple sims due to the small amount of RAM).ĭual CPU Dell Precision T7500 (x2 hexacore CPU 3.5GHz) I am also wanting to improve general workspace speed (not TOO concerned about final render times) of C4D, After Effects, and Realflow, as a secondary goal. The goal is to run Octane renderer with smooth live rendering previews (I am also considering Arnold for the same purpose, though i know this runs off CPU instead).
Compared to the last-gen AMD PRO Vega II Duo, the new Navi 21 based solution is around 18% faster & 37% faster compared to the Radeon RX 6900 XT (Single-GPU).I'm looking to upgrade my system, and am currently deciding which way to go with regards GPU. Now in terms of prices, the Duo does cost a lot more considering the A6000 can be found for around $4500-$5000 US while the RTX 3090 has an MSRP of $1499 US but even with inflated prices can be found for around $2000-$3000 US. This puts the AMD Radeon PRO W6800X Duo at 14% faster than the NVIDIA RTX A6000 & 8% faster than the RTX 3090.
NVIDIA RTX A6000 – 628 Points / 16 Seconds.NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 – 662 Points / 15.2 Seconds.AMD Radeon PRO W6800X Duo – 717 Points / 14 Seconds.NVIDIA’s fastest workstation card, the RTX A6000 finishes the same render in 16 secs (628 scores) while the fastest gaming graphics card, the RTX 3090 finishes the render in 15.2 secs (662 scores). The Radeon PRO finished the render in 14 seconds with a score of around 717 points. So coming to the benchmarks, the AMD Radeon PRO W6800X Duo was tested in several tests, and the primary one we will focus on is Octane Benchmark which generally offers better performance on NVIDIA RTX cards.
AMD Radeon PRO W6000 Series Graphics Cards Graphics Card The two cut-down Navi 21 GPU dies should bring the total wattage of the DUO to around 400W. The card offers up to 1 TB/s of memory bandwidth with its dual 256-bit bus interface.
The clock speed for each core is maintained at 1979 MHz, offering up to 30.2 TFLOPs of FP32 and 60.4 TFLOPs of FP16 Compute power. The flagship variant of all is the dual Big Navi 21 GPU-based Radeon Pro W6800X which offers up to 64 GB of GDDR6 memory and two 60 CU GPU dies that offer a total of 120 Compute Units or 7680 cores.
