We came up with disappointing results. viewperf yields a result of less than a factor of two improvement. We tested loading a huge mesh with Open Inventor, one moving the other static and we estimate a factor of two improvement. From our understanding, the new 5900 card is supposed to handle more vertices/sec than the 4600 by more than just a factor of two. There are other factors that go into the speed of the graphics display, but we're wondering what others' results are. Please visit the short website at http://www.csit.fsu.edu/~mason/misc/nvidia/ And let us know what your results are.
