OctaneBench
Posted: Wed Mar 11, 2015 3:01 am
Hi all,
Remember the OctaneBench competition from 2013? Last year we got around to actually implement it, but then a lot of things changed in the render engine and we decided to wait until things have settled a bit, to make sure that the benchmark results are still relevant for later version 2 releases.
After some more polishing and tweaking we can finally release the OctaneBench based on version 2.17. It allows you to run a standardized test on one or more GPUs and store and upload the results to the OctaneBench result data base. OctaneBench can also be called via command line which allows you to automate testing. And you can take the OctaneBench resources and run OctaneBench on any OctaneRender Standalone version 2.21 or higher.
NOTE: When you run OctaneBench and upload the results to the database, it's important to not only benchmark the full system, but also sub-configurations and single GPUs. This way we get better statistics of the performance of each GPU model, which is relevant for most people who use the OctaneBench results to make a decision about which GPU to purchase. Thanks a lot in advance for participating and helping to create a representative overview of GPU hardware and its performance.
You can find the archive, more details and a link to the results page on the OctaneBench page. Here are some screenshots:
Happy benchmarking!
