Benchmark #2

General Forums Blender and CG Discussions
1

hey guys here is benchmark number 2.

http://doug.mud-puddle.co.nz/files/benchmark2.zip

sorry its ziped, and i don’t have a tar.bz application (well i do but it refuses to make it small) but i am pretty sure you linux users can open zip files

its a simple file i made especially for a benchmark. it doesn’t use most of the new featrues like transucency, or refraction, however it does use reflection which means you will need to be using Blender 2.32 or above.

just hit the ANIM button to output a file and see the time in the console, alternativly if you don’t want an outputted file then hit render and read the time in the top right.

the quality of the file is not great as its for small size, and the render time shouldn’t be to large either.

please render 2x in a row as often the second render is shorter than the first due to caching and such.

oh also when telling us your render times please give system specs, including blender version (BF, CVS, tuhopuu, if you use the intel optimised version please say so as it uses fast maths which do actually change the final result of the image)

p.s. many people may not have seen it but benchmark #1 is still available here (same rule apply to this file, hit anim)

http://doug.mud-puddle.co.nz/files/benchmark.zip

please state if your result is from benchmark file #1 as we will be expecting its from number 2 only otherwise

they are nothing special, just tiny files to test your computer against other peoples computers

hope to hear peoples results, and system specs.

----edit-------

the thread for benchmark number 1 is here https://blenderartists.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11223

this will give people an indication of there results for benchmark number one tests. however please note that the links will not work due to it being so old

Thanks Alltaken.
Sorry for pretending I knew what BenchMark 1 was. [You know what I’m talking about].
Anyway I’ll try it on my hareem of machines (Lab machines as well as home machines and I’ll post the results_)

I wanted to post data from BF2 as well, but the window is closed too quicly to read. It seems quite a bit quicker though.

well, my blender says the file is corrupted.
so I guess I loose.
