2.7x Cycles benchmark (Updated BMW)

[mpan3]

January 2015: The file got its first major update! Therefore the new results won't be compatible with the old. But then, Blender is evolving so fast it's really pointless to compare results from 2 years ago.

Change Log:

• Fixed bug with wheel rigging
• Updated car paint shader
• Doubled the number of cars to 2 to accurately benchmark higher geometry scenes
• Increased sample count to 400
• Updated materials for viewport

New Scene:

Game engine version:

You can download the game-engine version of this car from this BA Thread.

Sorry, but I don't quite understand. How many samples are we going up to?
Edit: Oh, ic. it's in the file. 200 samples. Nice.

[drobbins]

hope it's ok to ask a question here
I get a black finish on the car when I render with GPU but it looks like the OP when I render with CPU
NVidia 460 SE
I unpacked the textures
Ideas?

Nice initiative Mike! Btw, the image on first post is nice with flares, but maybe it would be better if you used an output from this test for more realistic expectations?

Here are my numbers:

Blender 2.61 (42614)
CPU: Intel i7 2600K @ 3.4GHz
GPU: Nvidia GTX 560 1GB
OS: Ubuntu 11.04 64bit
Time: 1 min 00 sec (CUDA)

My time:

CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad 2.6Ghz
GPU: Nvidia GeForce 9500 GT
OS: Ubuntu 10.10 x64
Time: 14 min 19 seconds (GPU - CUDA)
Time: Error: CUDA device supported only with shader model 1.3 or up, found 1.1. (GPU - OpenCL)
Time: 8 min 14 sec (CPU)

If anyone on linux wants to do non-official testing using cuda and older cards try a fish build from graphicall or check this thread out: http://blenderartists.org/forum/show...lder-GFX-cards

[doublebishop]

Would it be possible to set this up as a public spreedsheet? where users can add to it as they complete the tests?

CPU : Intel Core i7 920 @ 2.66Ghz
OS : Windows 7 64bit
GPU : Nvidia GTX 580
Time (GPU-CUDA) : 46.51 seconds

Riofranco, your number seems okay if you compare it with the other i7s (spacetug's), although to be fair, i think both of your number are a tad low. See san's numbers

drobbins: try updating your driver from nvidia.com. ALso, make sure you are using blender 2.61.

doublebishop: not a bad idea. You can try creating a Google Doc. I'll add it to the initial post. Nice time btw.
