SPEC’s ViewPerf - Advanced Visualizer (AWadvs- 03)
SPEC's AWadvs-03 viewset represents the most common operations performed by Advanced Visualizer. Advanced Visualizer from Alias/Wavefront is an integrated workstation-based 3D animation system that offers a comprehensive set of tools for 3D modeling, animation, rendering, image composition, and video output.
All operations within Advanced Visualizer are performed in immediate mode with double buffered windows. The test data set is illustrated below:
These are the 10 tests specified by SPEC's AWadvs-03 viewset:

All tests were performed at both 1280x1024 truecolor, with Vsync off. The Lightscape profile was selected for the ELSA driver and the 3Dlabs drivers; the NVIDIA 3.65 driver did not have any such tuning options. The test results were:

The GLoria II (Quadro) and GeForce equipped cards performed quite well on this benchmark suite; in fact the GLoria II scores were better than any of the system scores recently published at SPEC except those of high cost NEC TE4E system (which scored 93.4 composite). The ELSA GLoria II with either driver was more than 3 times faster than the GVX1 - AGP and 5.5 times faster than a TNT2Ultra. It looks like the 50 GFLOPS on the GPU are being used effectively. The three 3Dlabs cards (GVX1-AGP, GVX1-PCI and VX1) all scored within 10% of each other. The TNT2U card performed a lot slower than any of the other cards on this test.
