Maxon has recently rolled out major updates to both its Cinebench and Redshift products, so we wanted to take a fresh look at GPU rendering performance in each with the help of AMD’s and NVIDIA’s current product stacks. While Redshift recently gained support for AMD Radeon, Intel, with its Arc series, becomes the odd one out.

In its latest quarterly Arc graphics update, Intel has released a new driver which can boost performance in DirectX 11 titles upwards of 19%. It also released a revamped version of its popular PresentMon performance analyzing tool, adding a valuable new metric to gauge how busy your GPU is keeping relative to the frametimes.

Blender 3.6 has recently launched, and from a performance perspective, it’s one of the biggest releases in a while. Both AMD and Intel gain ray tracing acceleration to render your scene faster, and other subtle improvements have been made as well, including the speed of viewport shader compiling. Let’s dig in!

The latest entrant to join NVIDIA’s Ada Lovelace GeForce lineup is the RTX 4060. Priced at $299, the 8GB RTX 4060 targets those who’ve been waiting to upgrade from one of the predecessor cards, and wants to take advantage of the latest GeForce feature set – including niceties such as DLSS 3.

AMD’s Radeon PRO series of workstation GPUs has just been augmented with the first models infused with the company’s RDNA3 architecture. We’re taking a look at the high-end 32GB Radeon PRO W7800, as well as the even higher-end 48GB Radeon PRO W7900, across a wide-range of production workloads.

AMD’s third RDNA3-based Radeon has just launched in the form of the RX 7600, an 8GB offering priced at $269. AMD claims that this card targets “high” 1080p gaming, but for our first look, we’re going to delve into its performance across creator workloads, including encoding and rendering.

NVIDIA has just launched its fifth GeForce to join the Ada Lovelace generation: RTX 4060 Ti. As usual, we’re going to kick off our coverage with a look at NVIDIA’s latest across a wide-range of creator workloads, involving rendering, encoding, photogrammetry, and of course, viewport.

Blender 3.5 brings a lot of polish and new features to the table, and naturally, we had to give it a thorough battering with a wide-range of GPUs. This time around, we’ve added a new Cycles and Eevee render project, a new viewport project, and also cover an interesting angle: shader compile times.

NVIDIA has just launched the fourth GeForce as part of its Ada Lovelace lineup: RTX 4070. This GPU packs in 12GB of GDDR6X memory, boasts DLSS 3 frame generation support, draws much less power than the GPU it succeeds, and perhaps best of all, it does all of this with a modest stature. Let’s check it out.

We’re taking a fresh look at the many workloads available in SPECviewperf. This time around, we’re taking a much deeper look at subtest results, to gain a better understanding of how SVP’s overall scores are generated. With the help of 28 GPUs, two resolutions, and 38 subtests, we have a lot of data to explore.

NVIDIA’s third Ada Lovelace-based GeForce has landed: RTX 4070 Ti. This artist formerly known as RTX 4080 packs in 12GB of memory, effectively delivering a 50% boost to VRAM gen-over-gen. Our first look at the new GPU will be focusing on creator: rendering, encoding, and more.

Blender 3.4 released just a few weeks ago, and as usual, we couldn’t wait long before jumping in and exploring its performance with current GPUs from AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA. With 22 graphics cards and six Cycles and Eevee projects in-hand for rendering and viewport testing, let’s find out which GPUs rise above the rest.

AMD has just launched its newest top-end Radeons – the RDNA3-based RX 7900 XT and RX 7900 XTX – and for creators, there’s a lot to be intrigued by. That includes the fact that AMD is delivering the least-expensive 24GB GPU we’ve seen to date. In this article, we’ll explore performance of both GPUs across encoding, rendering, photogrammetry, and viewport tests.

AMD’s first RDNA3-based GPUs have just landed, with both the Radeon RX 7900 XT and RX 7900 XTX targeting the top-end of the market. We’re kicking off our performance coverage with a look at 4K gaming across a wide-range of titles, with ray tracing and upscaling tests strewn throughout.

The second GPU to grace NVIDIA’s Ada Lovelace GeForce lineup has landed: RTX 4080. Like the previously-released RTX 4090, the RTX 4080 continues to show us that the Ada Lovelace generation offers huge upticks in rendering performance over the previous-gen Ampere.
