Benchmarks of GPU

First off, I love Tomshardware for allowing me to check out Benchmarks for CPUs, HDDs, and GPUs! The UI is great! But I do I have a problem though. I notice all the cards are gaming cards, and benchmarks are FPS for hand full of games. I was curious about rendering times for common 3d Modeling programs like YafRay/Blender, Maya, 3ds Max etc. How do workstation GPUs stack up? And how do these gaming GPU rank doing modeling. I want a good graphics card that can do gaming and rendering. So I don't want to shell out $550 for a GTx8800 for it to choke up on modeling. I would love to see some benchmarks of both types of cards in there different fields. Is there any benchmarks out there?

That is a nifty link from drummerdude.

On the VGA charts, they only have their charts for games and 3dmark. On the workstation charts they only have the 3d modeling/rendering programs. I think what hugelandmonster wants to know is, is there a gpu out there that will perform decent for both games & 3dmodeling? Or is the only option having to buy 2 gpu's?

I don't do any 3dmodeling or rendering, so I don't know. But I do have a 8800gts on Vista and it works pretty dang good game wise. I'll see if I can get my hands on some 3dmodeling programs and see how it pans out.

None that I'm aware of. But it's a good idea. Write THG and tell them to make a workstation GPU chart.

Yeah but they are mostly old tests.

The most recent/complete one (with 3Dmark06 scores);

But nothing that combines everything for every genre, it's too difficult to set up for the level of interest it generates. Only occasionally do you even get people running SPECViewPerf in gaming reviews, and even more rare is gaming tests in a workstation/pro review.
