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 Quadro DDR, GLoria II (Quadro SDR) and GeForce SDR equipped cards performed quite well on this benchmark suite; the Quadro DDR was about 10% faster than the next fastest, the Quadro SDR. The Quadro DDR was better than any of the system AWadvs-03 scores recently published at SPEC except those of high cost NEC TE4E system (which scored 93.4 composite). This was one of the few tests that show any benefit for the DDR memory, with a performance gain of about 10% over the SDR Quadro. The GeForce SDR was about 16% slower than the Quadro DDR.
