I was just looking at the new 2007 VGA comparison chart. There's plenty of statistics available for gaming plus a few 3DMark06 results. However, no 3D rendering programs were tested.
In the system I'm getting ready to build, the purpose of my graphics card will not be gaming, but will instead be accelerating 3D animation rendering, particularly in OpenGL based applications. I'm wondering how well the gaming and 3DMark06 results translate to accelerating 3D / OpenGL rendering. If a given card performs better than another card in the gaming / 3DMark06 tests, can the same performance improvement be expected in 3D rendering with OpenGL applications ?
Thank you.
