The official benchmark of the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC.org) for OpenGL performance uses 3dsmax, Data Explorer, DesignReview, Lightwave, ProEngineer and Unigraph benchmarks. All of these benchmarks are characterized by rather insane numbers of polygons that will have a hard time fitting into even the L3 cache, moreover, the nature of the applications almost a priori excludes caching of the data, therefore, we did not expect any differences between the standard P4 and the EE version. All benchmarks were run using the ATI FireGL X1 since it makes little sense to run these benchmarks on any consumer graphics card.

3dsmax

DRV-08

DX-07

Light-05

ProE-01

UGS-01

Aside from the fact that there are still graphics card limitations in most of the individual benchmarks, there is preciously little to report, other than that the EE does not add anything to performance under the system configuration tested here.
