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 RX 7700 XT PURE scored a 15951 which was 17 points higher than the QICK and edged the card even closer to the stock clocked RX 7800 XT. All of the 7700 XT were ahead of the 6800 XT as well as the 4060 Ti 8GB. 

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 RX 7700 XT PURE, like all of the AMD cards, struggled with Blender performance compared to the Nvidia cards. The RX 7700 XT PURE did end up ahead of the other 7700 XT in the 3.5 benchmark but was at the bottom of the three on Blender 3.6.
