Hello Radiance, OctaneRender Team, and everybody else!
This is my very first post, so I will do my best to make it clear and relevant at the same time!
I would like to know if it's possible for every registred customer to strictly follow an unique signature formating, so it could be easier for Radiance to get the information he really needs, and it will be easier for us to decypher.
Here is a proposal (any critics for improvements are more than welcome)
A 3 lines of details seems quite reasonnable:
1: [number of computer | number of cpu | number of core per CPU][total number of graphic card | total number of GPU | total number of CUDA cores][Benchmark result in seconds/Ksamples]
SO one could read mine as [x|xx|xxxx][x|x|96][917] and say:"ok, this one has some cool hardware for CPU based render, but should improve it for serious GPU based render"
while one could read YoonKyung's rig as [x][x|xxxx][xxxx|xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx|1920][put crazy number here] and say:"this guy is hardcore!"
About the benchmark, maybe one need to create a completly original .ocs scene rather than using a model seen on other renderers, or keep the current one if performance comparison between CPU based and GPU based is not a bad idea.
2: HARDWARE details in the following order [Motherboard Manufacturer and Model]|[CPU manufacturer, model, clock frequency][motherboard memory]|[Graphic card manufacturer, model and total memory]
Because I think that giving the manufacturer's brand might help some of us who want to buy/upgrade new hardware could use it as a good hint, without having to ask:"what model are you using? what can I buy to get these performances? and so on..."
3: SOFTWARE details in the following order[Operating System (service pack?)]|[Octane render version]|[cuda drivers version]
Just because Radiance might one day get bored to ask for it!
Hoping you will like this idea, and maybe promote it.
Regards,
ToMy
