Incrontic pits the ATI FirePro V7750 against its direct competitor, the Nvidia Quadro FX 3800

This evaluation on Icrontic pits the ATI FirePro V7750 (online for around $600) against its direct competitor, the NVIDIA Quadro FX 3800 (online just over $700). However, they also tossed in results for the FirePro V8750 to give some perspective on the price/performance ratio of the V7750.  The general summary is “astonishing value for the dollar” but it is easier to quote from the article then summarize the detailed tests:

“The showdown between the V7750 and the FX 3800 was a close one, but the V7750 narrowly edged out its competitor in virtually every benchmark. Its OpenGL performance in Cinebench was impressive, yielding nearly 1000 more points than the FX 3800. Viewperf scores in both SolidWorks and 3ds Max were very close, with the V7750 winning the majority in SolidWorks, while the two GPUs won seven a piece in 3ds Max.

“Maya, however, continues to tell a story of ATI dominance; the FirePro V7750 bested the Quadro FX 3800 by more than twice the average frames per second. In fact, the V7750 did so well in the Maya tests that its average frame rate was actually close to that of the FirePro V8750. AMD must be working some crazy driver voodoo to pull off such impressive scores in Maya.”
