SPECapc^® for Siemens NX 9.0 and 10.0

Running the benchmark

The benchmark produces composite GPU and CPU scores, as well as sub-scores for each of the display modes tested during a run. Display modes include shaded, shaded with edges, wireframe, wireframe with hidden edges, and wireframe with dim edges, as well as the application-specific Advanced Studio, True Studio and Face Analysis modes. Scoring is weighted based on how NX 9.0 and NX 10.0 users exercise functionality in their day-to-day work.

Benchmark Run Rules

1. The benchmark must be run using Siemens PLM NX 9.0.3.4 (MaintPack5) and/or NX 10.0.2.6 (MaintPack1).
2. The NX 9 and 10 license must include the NX Shape Studio or equivalent bundle for Advanced Studio rendering and be properly enabled by disabling all checkboxes except Disable Dynamic Update Shadows and Disable Dynamic Soft Shadows in the Studio Views section of the Visualization Performance Preferences General Graphics tab.
3. The benchmark is only supported on systems running Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows 10 64-bit operating system.
4. The display resolution must be at least 1920 pixels by 1080 pixels. If the system has an integrated display which cannot achieve 1920×1080 resolution, e.g., a notebook, the system’s maximum possible resolution must be used.
5. All application settings must be the default settings outside of those documented in rule f and g and the benchmark setup guide. See the document, SPECapc_NX9-10_BenchmarkSetup, included with the benchmark, for the full details of the benchmark setup.
6. The “Fixed Frame Rate” setting must be globally disabled.
7. The “Fit View to Stage” setting must be unchecked in the Advanced Studio Scene Editor Stage tab.
8. Any application setting that is not the default or specified value must be documented in the Comments field of the “apcNxResults.html” file.
9. Submissions run on Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows 10 64-bit will be accepted for review. A submission must include a run with FSAA enabled and may optionally include a run with FSAA disabled.
