SPECviewperf^® 15.0.1

The SPECviewperf 15.0.1 benchmark, released on December 11, 2025, is an important update to the worldwide standard for measuring graphics performance based on professional applications.

The SPECviewperf benchmark measures the 3D graphics performance of systems running under the OpenGL, DirectX, and Vulkan application programming interfaces (APIs). The benchmark can be run without installing licenses for the represented applications and is frequently used as the basis for performance measurement and the estimation of new hardware, such as GPUs and system platforms. The diverse set of modern workloads is easy to install and run, and provides high-quality, consistent results.

The SPECviewperf 15.0.1 benchmark introduces snx-05, a workload based on Siemens NX 2406, rounding out the benchmark’s support for high-end computer-aided design (CAD) applications.

The new snx-05 workload represents the first “snap-in” workload enabled by SPECviewperf 15’s modern architecture, which allows for the addition of new workloads without requiring users to re-run existing benchmarks. This workload utilizes the OpenGL graphics API and stresses standard OpenGL features, including vertex and pixel shaders, textures, and multisampled antialiasing.

Key Features

snx-05 – A new OpenGL-based workload designed to measure the performance of computer-aided design workflows running on Siemens NX 2406
Minor bugfixes and usability improvements
Runs on Windows 11

Backward Compatibility

SPECviewperf 15.0.1 workload metrics remain fully comparable to the SPECviewperf 15.0 workload metrics of the same name. Users can adopt the new version to access the snx-05 workload while maintaining the validity of their existing benchmark results.

License Agreement:

Read the terms and conditions of this Agreement carefully before downloading or opening the package containing the SPEC product or any accompanying documentation (collectively, "the Materials").  Except where explicitly superseded by wording in the attached product license, this Agreement represents the entire Agreement between you and SPEC concerning the Materials and supersedes any prior proposal, representation or understanding between the parties.

Use and re-export of SPEC's software is subject to the United States Export Control Administration regulations. The software may not be used by unlicensed person or entities and may not be re-exported to another country. See Export Assurance (Clause 12) of this license.

The restrictions and limitations of this Agreement do not apply to those items contained in the Materials that have been modified under, or used under, licenses that require free redistribution. SPEC has collected copies or links to copies of all such items underneath the directory redistributable_sources, along with the licenses applicable to each item in that directory.

By downloading the Materials or opening the package containing the Materials, you are accepting and agreeing to the terms of this Agreement. If you are not willing to be bound by these terms, you should promptly cease downloading the Materials and remove the Materials from your system. Or, if you received the Materials via physical media, you should return the media and the Materials to SPEC. You may receive a refund for purchased products.

1. Grant. SPEC agrees to grant and USER agrees to accept a nontransferable and nonexclusive license to use and modify the Materials, subject to the restrictions and conditions set forth below and in any accompanying product specific license.

2. Copies and Location. USER may make only exact and complete copies of the original of the Materials. The original and copies thereof may be used only:

By the user, if purchased by a non-corporate entity. This user must also abide by the Export Assurance (Clause 12) of this license.
By anyone within the same corporate structure, if purchased by a corporation. Note that a "corporate user" must be identified and all technical support and contact with SPEC must be handled through that contact. This user and corporation must also abide by the Export Assurance (Clause 12) of this license.
USER will not permit any third party to use or copy the original or any copy thereof. In the event of unauthorized transfer or copying, USER will pay SPEC a penalty in the amount of one additional fee for each such transfer or copy.

3. Scope of Use. The Materials may be used only for the generation of data regarding measurement and analysis of computer system (hardware and software) performance and/or power usage on those Materials. Modification or merger with other software is allowed only as specified in the Run and Reporting Rules for the given SPEC benchmark or tool product. USER may not distribute the Materials or any modification to the Materials with the following exceptions:

USER may distribute those items specifically included in the directory of redistributable sources according to the terms of their open source licenses.
USER may share only with other SPEC licensees of this product modifications created by USER for purposes of performance and/or power usage analysis. Such modifications shall be limited to 1) modifying the code to instrument the product; or 2) modifying the workload to enable further analysis on systems under the USER's control or 3) a combination of 1) and 2).
For performance or power measurement results obtained from such modified product, USER may not 1) represent the results as being compliant results of the product or 2) use official SPEC metric name(s) to identify the results.

The Materials may include executable code for the SPEC PTDaemon tool. The SPEC PTDaemon tool is licensed for use only with the Materials or modifications of the Materials as described herein. It is NOT licensed for use as a standalone tool or for integration into a tool that is unrelated to the Materials.

4. Fee. The fee paid by the USER to SPEC for the Materials is in consideration of SPEC's cost in connection with the production and distribution of the Materials and is not a royalty.

5. Reports. In order to preserve the integrity of SPEC's performance standards, USER agrees to run the Materials in accordance with the benchmark product rules published by SPEC for the Materials. If the USER chooses to publicly report measured results, the reporting must be strictly in accordance with the SPEC product rules, including the SPEC Fair Use Rule.

The SPEC Fair Use Rules are posted at www.spec.org. SPEC product rules are posted at www.spec.org in the documentation pages for each SPEC product. Both the SPEC Fair Use rules and the SPEC product rules may be updated from time to time.
