Xbitlabs.com ha pubblicato una interessante analisi delle prestazioni delle attuali schede video di fascia alta all'opera con 3D Studio Max 5.

In particolare le schede video prese in esame sono le seguenti:

RADEON 9700 Pro
RADEON 9500
FireGL X1, FireGL Z1
NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti4600
NVIDIA Quadro 4 900XGL
FireGL 8800

Riportiamo qui di seguito le conclusioni tratte in seguito ai test:

"So, the results obtained show that the "professional" ATI cards appear 4 times faster than the gaming ones in the most important geometric benchmarks, in both: wireframe and smooth + highlights modes. Their advantage is not that tremendous in texturing and lighting tests: they are only 1.5 times faster at the most, however, these tests are optimal for gaming graphics cards, unlike the geometric tests mentioned above. Also we can state that NVIDIA Quadro outpaces the "professional" ATI solutions: in the wireframe mode of geometric benchmarks the NVIDIA professional solution showed the same fourfold advantage. All in all both NVIDIA graphics cards seem to be more preferable for 3ds max 5 users than ATI solutions"
