With double-precision on, the benchmark renders slower. Just tried it. not by much, maybe 5-10%? Honestly I have no idea what double-precision is useful for. Anyone can fill me in?

I was also wondering whether it was possible to edit a preferences file allowing AE to use more available VRAM. I understand limiting cards with less memory, but I'm only getting 4.5 GB of usable VRAM with the titan in AE. Granted, that is a lot but it would be great to get another GB and I doubt the OS needs more than 500 mb of overhead.

I'd be curious to find out how Titan performs in these tests with double precision enabled vs. disabled from the nvidia control panel.  I expect that the ray-traced renderer in AE is probably not double precision but I'd like to find out :)

So a while ago I posted an AE graphic card benchmark at creative cow that has gotten a lot of responses, so I threw together a quick, readable spreadsheet of the results. I was mainly curious about compute performance of the new titan card vs. last gen 5xx cards and the kepler 6xx series. I wanted to see if the titan was worth the extra $1,000, because it is in fact a consumer version of the nvidia k20 tesla which costs over $3k. The results were very interesting. The original thread is here

And I have posted the spreadsheets (and benchmark file) on my server at

What I would love to add are any results with the newer quadros (5000 / 6000) or any tesla card.

Furthermore I'd be interested to hear any thoughts from 3D users about their experiences using an AMD 7950 vs nvidia consumer card for viewport 3D (using zbrush / maya / or C4D especially)

The amount of C4D work I've been doing has only increased in the last year and I can imagine when CS7 comes out that's only going to increase. viewport accuracy is going to be of a larger concern and nvidia is using a poor strategy to differentiate the quadros by gimping compute performance in the 6xx consumer cards.

Would also love to hear any thoughts on these results, I'll refrain from saying what I think until people get a chance to check it out.
