My Mac Pro's fan speed was manually set to full-blast 1900RPM for the length of the benchmark. 4x8GB DDR3 1866MHz is Apple OEM & my favorite color is green. Fresh less-than-a-week-old Thermaltake TG-7 applied to CPU & both GPUs (really helped temps btw - CPU & GPU idle at 29-30C with very heavy sustained load temps of CPU 50-55C GPU 60-67C). Windows boots off the Internal SSD - Sabrent SB-RKTQ-2TB using a generic M-Key adapter.

Mac Pro is running Windows 10 Bootcamp, latest update as of this post. Please, please scroll down the landing page and read the test descriptions. These W7000/W8000/W9000 benchmarks were run by systems utilizing a single-gpu solution. Passmark does host FirePro W7000, W8000 & W9000 benchmark results. Note: Passmark / does not host D300/D500/D700 results, for whatever reason.

In my opinion, as a long-time professional Mac repair technician & le epic 1337 gaming rig builder, I find passmark to be the most reliable source of benchmarks for CPU & GPU performance - though all benchmarking tools have their blind-spots. This is important to note as the D300/D500/D700's are only available in crossfire configurations, though the amount to which the DXXX cards utilize crossfire is still up in the air as it is impossible to run a single-gpu FirePro DXXX card configuration. Note: FirePro W7000/W8000/W9000 cards do have comparable specifications with FirePro D3/5/700 cards - but only on a single-gpu basis. I have seen many an article comparing the FirePro D300/D500/D700 to the FirePro W7000/W8000/W9000, drawing a reasonable conclusion that the D300/500/700 are W cards toyed with in collaboration with Apple due to the respective DXXX/WXXXX cards having identical/as-close-as-you're-going-to-get specifications.

Publicly available benchmarks which were posted in very small sample sizes across a handful of new & old bench tools, lack of context regarding the machine (especially which OS the bench was run on), and just straight-up contradictory & inconsistent benchmarks. When researching the 6,1's GPUs, like many of you, I found benchmarks for the D300/D500/D700 hard to come by. Repair/refurb work on Macs requires a Mac, as I am sure most of you know - but I am not here to justify my purchase of a 6,1.Ħ,1 GPUs of course, follow the classic non-standard proprietary Apple way of life. I work as a repair technician on Macs, iPhones, iPods, etc etc & operate a (relatively) large-scale refurbish & resale operation. Like many of you, I had my eye on a 6,1 since 2013 and told myself 'one day' - that day came 12/11/19, one day after 2019 Mac Pros started shipping and 3 months of checking eBay daily.
