SPECviewperf® 13 benchmark

The SPECviewperf® 13 benchmark is the worldwide standard for measuring graphics performance based on professional applications. The benchmark measures the 3D graphics performance of systems running under the OpenGL and Direct X application programming interfaces. The benchmark’s workloads, called viewsets, represent graphics content and behavior from actual applications.

The latest version of the SPECviewperf benchmark is the SPECviewperf 13 benchmark, released on May 23, 2018. The SPECgpc® members at the time of V13 release include AMD, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, Intel, Lenovo, and NVIDIA.

The SPECviewperf 13 benchmark is a comprehensive upgrade of previous versions of the benchmark. Medical and energy viewsets incorporate new models and raycasting for volume visualization; the Maya viewset features new models based on the SPECapc® for Maya 2017 benchmark; and the Creo viewset has been updated with fresh application traces. All other viewsets have been recompiled with minor changes. Results from the SPECviewperf 13 benchmark are not comparable to those from earlier versions.

The SPECviewperf 13 benchmark is available for immediate download. It is free for everyone but sellers of computers and related products, who are required to pay a $2,500 vendor license. A SPECviewperf 13 benchmark license covers both Windows and Linux versions; current paid license holders of the Windows version can receive the Linux Edition free of charge.
