I used the default settings. My Machine is roughly 413 OB (according to the estimator with 3 GTX 980ti cards -- not enough time to download and run the latest bench) and frames average roughly 5 minutes on my rig. These 11 frames took approximately 1/2 hour from creation to finish (actual render report is not listed on the job page.) To be fair, the estimate was roughly $5.45, and if I were to render the whole scene that I actually submitted (77 frames) the estimator is projecting $34 -- and that is less than half of all of the frames in my shot (200). Honestly, this should be about a $20 farm cost for ALL 200 frames, but it looks like ORC is 3 times that amount. That is truly cost prohibitive. Any plans to bring pricing more in line with other farm services? I don't mind paying a premium, but over 3x is just throwing money away...
