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 7900 XTX didn’t keep up with the RTX 4080 here but did outperform the RTX 3090 Ti which was a compute monster itself.

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 7900 XTX struggled here a lot more than I expected given the performance we have seen so far. The 7900 XTX came in just below the RTX 3070 and slightly ahead of the RTX 3060 Ti.
