3D Studio Max 3.0 R3 Benchmark, Continued
This benchmark tests whether the graphics card can accelerate lighting. 8 'omni' light sources are implemented. Using hardware only, the FireGL2 can calculate up to 16 light sources without the need to fall back to software algorithms. Quadro2 Pro lags behind in this category as well.
In this benchmark 3D Studio Max renders four view ports at once. This means that objects are shown from four different (camera) viewing angles. Quadro2 Pro manages only one third of FireGL2's performance.
