Fastest on the Forum (Inventor Benchmark Top List)

pball — Mon, 03 Feb 2020 03:07:14 GMT

I've been keeping a list of the fastest Inventor benchmarks from the massive How fast is your Inventor PC really? thread. I've shared a few highlights a couple times in that thread but they quickly get buried and someone asked if I could make a new thread for the list. So here is my list of the top scores above 12 from the first 185 pages, from now on I'll only note 13+ scores.

Fastest on the Forums (google doc link)

Since I have all the scores hyperlinked to the original post and the lack of editing posts here, I'm using a google docs link for the list.

I have some scores noted with OC for over clocks, only posts that mention over clocks are noted. Most of the highest scores are probably over clocks but not all of them mention it. I also have some Ryzen scores mentioned at the bottom regardless of the score, since AMD is starting to come back.

As for this forum thread. Please keep posting scores in the main thread. If anyone has corrections for my list or notes for a particular score please post them here. Maybe discussions about the top scores would be a good use for this thread.

I would say follow what TFI is doing (check him on YouTube), not sure a forum is the right place to ask users for benchmark results.. And I am not sure everyone would be able to interpret the result either.

Which version of inventor are you running the test.. ? This is also an important factor as the software get more and more optimised as well.

I have carried several test for the company I work for, and on several hardware all based on Inventor 2018, to see what the benefit truly were between 2015 hardware to 2019 hardware...

From my own research, a faster i7 CPU clock speed can offer better performance than a very expensive Xeon processor.. the GPU used in inventor is 'almost' irrelevant... Just provide the certification..

Fabien

@fabien_mongin The thread they are referring to https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/how-fast-is-your-inventor-pc-really/td-p/5950908 has been around since 2015 and continues to get updated.

It uses a specific piece of software developed specifically to benchmark Inventor and has been updated for each and every version along the way.. The result format is consistent and breaks it down into multiple areas..

Its a pretty cool utility.. You should try it if you haven't...

I can' believe I'm still on the list..

Yes, this is the tools I used, I agree it is a good tool, it allows to measure the 'jump' of performance on evaluation hardware, to try to make a rational decision on the hardware selection.
I ran it on the same version of Inventor for several machines, and created interesting performance graph on Excel to compare the results. I also used a benchmark specific to SolidEdge on the same machines.
