Compute Benchmarks

Now some people don’t need a video card for gaming, they need the processing power for rendering or 2D/3D production, or in some cases, people who game also do work on the side. So it is also important to check out the compute performance on all of the video cards that come in. That includes doing a few different tests. My first test was a simple GPU Compute benchmark using PassMark's Performance Test 10 and the QICK 319 RX 7700 XT Black scored 15934 which was 122 points ahead of the Pulse and also in front of the RX 6800 XT as well.

Blender is always my favorite compute benchmark because the open-source 3D rendering software is very popular and it isn’t a synthetic benchmark. With the latest version of Blender, they redid the benchmark so we now have a new test that runs three different renderings and gives each a score. I have all three stacked together so we can see the overall performance. The QICK 319 RX 7700 XT Black fell below the 7700 XT Pulse in both 3.5 and 3.6 Blender tests. Both cards are sitting back with the Nvidia RTX 3050 which shows just how far back AMD performance is in Blender compared to Nvidia with Optix integration in Blender.
