This month, we list the 10 workstation and graphics card combinations that recently received the highest scores in the AWadvs-04 (Alias|Wavefront Advanced Visualizer) subset of the SPECviewperf 6.1.2 OpenGL benchmark. The AWadvs-04 benchmark consists of 10 operations common to the Advanced Visualizer 3D animation program, including smooth, flat, and material shading of a polygonal animation model.

The mean scores represent the combined, weighted results of the 10 tests, measured in the number of frames per second the machines were able to execute. The larger the numbers, the better the performance.

To see how the same systems fared in other benchmark tests, or to review results from additional systems, visit www.spec.org/gpc.
