#Nvidia quadro k5000 graphics card drivers#

So sticking with Windows 7 until drivers are optimised would appear to be the safest option. Scores were mostly comparable, but a few SPECviewperf viewsets were behind the Windows 7 results, in particular 61.78 in catia-03, 12.42 in proe-05 and 53.45 in tcvis-02. However, the Venom took 72 seconds with the Tesla and Quadro 4000, implying that the K5000вЂ™s modelling abilities arenвЂ™t quite as stunning for CUDA-powered rendering.

The test scene took 154 seconds with the CPU alone вЂ“ almost the same as the Venom вЂ“ which fell to 106 seconds with the K5000 helping out. We ran the same Bunkspeed CUDA-enhanced rendering test as we did for BostonвЂ™s Tesla-powered Venom 2300-7T. So the K5000 beats the W9000 across the board, and by significant quantities in the all-important 3D modelling viewsets lightwave-01 and maya-03. SPECviewperf 11 results were even more impressive, with the K5000 managing 77.33 in catia-03 compared with 21.14 75.41 in ensight-04 compared with 55.11 72.06 in lightwave-01 compared with 51.97 and 118.17 in maya-03 compared with 53.19.

The K5000 managed 87.36 in the OpenGL portion of Maxon Cinebench R11.5, compared with the W9000вЂ™s 74.19. We tested the K5000 in ArmariвЂ™s Magnetar M32-AW750R, giving us a direct comparison with the AMD FirePro W9000 вЂ“ which is a little more expensive but broadly comparable in the target market. They went on to say that вЂњWe have a product line that is focused on virtualization, and that is the VGX product.3D World tested NvidiaвЂ™s Quadro K5000 in the Armari Magnetar M32-AW750R workstation

(If I missed it please let me know and it will be posted as anВ attachment.) I then received official word from Nvidia: вЂњWe (Nvidia) do not support GPU pass-through on the Quadro K5000 product.вЂќ I did some digging and couldnвЂ™t find any documentation that mentioned this. As the flagship GPU in the new Kepler line of Nvidia Quadro GPUs one would expect the same if not better performance than the Fermi based cards. I knew that it wasnвЂ™t on the HCL but assumed that it was too new for the list or the site hosting the list was yet to be updated. One of my contacts pointed me toward the XenServer HardwareВ CompatibilityВ List (HCL) to show me that the K5000 was not listed. This is not unusual behavior and at times simply powering down the host/physical server and then bringing it all back up enables the GPU properly in the VM.В Unfortunately,В when I attempted this the entire server would crash and reboot the host. The hardware manager would simply list вЂњError 43вЂќ and force the generic graphics to take over. The Windows Server 2008 R2 (ењ†4) VM would not enable the K5000 GPU. Recently, hardware issues with the VM using the K5000 GPU tied to it led me to reach out to various support engineers at Citrix and Nvidia. Some of the hardware dedicated to this project were two Nvidia Quadro GPUs: the Fermi based 5000 and the Kepler based K5000. My current project is an attempt at generating data that would shed light on the number of users it takes to fatigue a XenApp graphic intensive server.

Without the GPU pass-through, the specificВ recipe of software IвЂ™m using for my cloud test isnвЂ™t going to be possible.В Luckily after we were all brought up to speed, my contacts are providing a Fermi based Quadro 6000 to finish the test. Share on Facebook Share by Mail Posted Nov 27ДЄfter a burst of e-mails with engineers from Nvidia, IвЂ™ve been informed that the flagship GPU of their new Kepler based cards, the Quadro K5000, is NOTВ supported for GPU pass-through.
