6 seconds off of a 28 seconds encode might not seem like much, but that translates to an encode that finishes more than 20% quicker – and all just from a software upgrade. We mentioned earlier that one or two codec performance results will only paint a partial picture of overall performance scaling, and the final graph here highlights why.HEVC thankfully changes things up a fair bit, with plenty of AMD and NVIDA GPUs alike enjoying immediate gains from the version bump. Further optimizations appear unnecessary; AMD is successfully exposing its theoretical advantage in this real-world benchmark.Cinebench is a synthetic benchmark that shines a spotlight on OpenGL-based performance. The answer is likely to be “yes” any way you look at it:It’s also worth noting that these updates have also hit the macOS version of these solutions, and again, it’s all AMD FirePro and Radeon support on that side, thanks hugely to the fact that Apple booted CUDA support a few years ago, much to the chagrin of many of its loyal fanbase.At the low-end, the older Radeon Pro WX 7100 and WX 4100 actually performed worse in the latest version, in both tests. We’re planning to explore additional performance angles in the future, including, of course, playback performance.As we saw with the AVC source test above, the AVC encode from RED (8:1 22 seconds 1,367Mbps) source scaling doesn’t look much more impressive across the stack.

Of course, we’d be remiss to ignore some of the regressions we’ve seen with certain models, and if you happen to be using a lower-end GPU, you may yourself want to do some A-B testing to see which ends up working out best for you.Copyright © 2005-2020 Techgage Networks - All Rights Reserved.
With this 14.2 release, we revisited all 21 GPUs we just finished testing for our latest Radeon Pro review, and added a bunch more on top to help paint a better overall picture.To wrap up our results, the AVC encoder from ProRes source (22 seconds 2,788Mbps) shows no real improvement between the last and current version, but yet again, the HEVC result shows some notable improvement. They're mostly apparent in the details, so we're listing all of the sub-scores. GeForce GTX 1080 Ti and Radeon Pro WX 7100's general performance parameters such as number of shaders, GPU core clock, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed. Please refresh the page and try again.This relative balance is reflected in the individual application results, which compose the overall score.It's time to explore performance using a number of real-world applications and just a handful of synthetics. While these updates bring a healthy number of individual improvements across the lot, it was the mention of faster GPU encoding in Premiere Pro and Media Encoder 14.2 that caught our eye first.The latest versions of Adobe’s Premiere Pro and Media Encoder bring significant encode performance improvements to our graphics cards. Built on the 14 nm process, and based on the Ellesmere graphics processor, in its Ellesmere XT variant, the chip supports DirectX 12. The Radeon Pro WX 7100 Mobile is a professional mobile graphics chip by AMD, launched in March 2017. Only the older FirePro W7100 is a bit slower in the 3D test.Thank you for signing up to Tom's Hardware. We’re about to give the fastest model, the Radeon Pro WX 7100, a real workout.Drilling down to the sub-scores further illuminates Nvidia's trouble areas.
It’s immediately clear that the 14.2 update benefited the vast majority of cards in this collection, although there were a couple of exceptions. If you see a result that seems a little strange, you can rest assured that it’s one we retested, because we can’t stomach being unsure about our test results.On the AMD side, it’s only a few models that managed to see an improvement, with most of them showing a slight degradation in performance instead.The projects used for testing here are behind two videos that have been posted to our YouTube channel.
Catering to both enthusiasts and businesses alike; from desktop gaming to professional workstations, and all the supporting software.Off the top, it’s an interesting set of results we see between the 1080p and 4K projects when using CPU encoding – their strengths effectively flip-flop (even after retests). A street price of ~$630 is attractive to this group.
