Benchmarks

Picking hardware can be tricky. If you’re wondering what sort of hardware you’ll need for your workloads, you’ve come to the right place!

Benchmarks offer a sneak preview of performance – making them a reliable source of information that you can use before you decide on hardware. For example, a particular CPU workload might benefit from higher core counts while another might benefit from better clock speeds.

CG Director covers a variety of benchmarks to make your PC building experience simpler.

Pick the right hardware for your workload – ensuring that you get excellent value out of your brand-new workstation.

Our Cinema 4D Viewport Performance Benchmark measures how snappy and smooth your Active Work inside your 3D Software will be.

While this Benchmark uses Maxon’s Cinema 4D for measuring performance, these Scores are helpful for Users of other 3D Software as well, as they all utilize the Hardware in very similar ways.

In Cinema 4D and most 3D-Software, the Processor is responsible for a smooth Viewport experience and is rarely bottlenecked by the Graphics Card.

More on this below, but first let’s take a look at the Scores:Continue Reading

Does Single vs Dual vs Quad Channel Memory impact performance on Ryzen Threadripper CPUs? Ever since AMD has introduced the glorious new Ryzen Family of CPUs, there has been lots of talk about Memory Compatibility with said Processors.

Intel CPUs have been able to use pretty much any kind of RAM but with Ryzen and Threadripper CPUs, XMP, Memory Clocks, Latency, Infinity Fabric, Single Channel vs. Dual vs. Quad Channel and other buzzwords have turned out to be quite confusing, especially when choosing a new System for your 3D Rendering, Video Editing or other kinds of Graphics Design needs.

In this Article Series that will analyze Threadripper CPUs to see how they can be optimized as much as possible, let’s start with how memory channels affect Ryzen Threadripper.Continue Reading

Cinebench R20 is based on technology of the well-known Digital Content Creation Software, Cinema 4D, but now utilizes the R20 Version’s Render Engine.

This updated rendering Benchmark now supports the AVX command set which will give us more realistic results of how modern Processors behave in multi-threaded workloads such as CPU Rendering.

Cinebench R20 is also great for finding the best CPUs for lightly-threaded workloads such as 3D Modeling and Animation and Video Editing.

AMD Threadripper CPUs are being talked about a lot. Not only because they finally offer great competition to the very expensive Intel HEDT CPUs, but also because they unfortunately still have some catching up to do in a few easily overlooked areas.

Memory Performance is one such area, that is more important on Threadripper than on Intel CPUs, because the so-called Infinity-Fabric on AMD CPUs, that links the Dies together and lets them talk to each other, is clocked a the Speed of the Memory Bus.

So, it is expected that having a high-clocked Memory Bus, should theoretically make the CPU-Die communication perform better, with potential performance increases.

Let’s see how much of a difference this makes and if it’s worth it to invest more money into high-clocked memory for AMD Threadripper CPUs:Continue Reading

Chaos Groups VRAY Benchmark is an extremely popular Benchmark, as it can Benchmark your Processor as well as your Graphics Card.

It is also great for comparing GPU render speed to CPU render speed, as the underlying VRAY Render Engine can use the same Scene Data.

If you are thinking of building a Computer for 3D Modeling or would like to see what GPU does best in VRAY-RT or what CPU is best for your rendering needs, this benchmark is the way to go.Continue Reading

OctaneBench is the currently most popular GPU Rendering Benchmark. It scales beautifully across multiple GPUs and has a series of rendering tests built in.

The OctaneBench Benchmark Rendering Results are assigned linearly scaling OctaneBench Points.

It is the popular GPU pendant to the well-known CPU Benchmark Cinebench R15, for which you can check the Results here.

Both benchmarks are crucial in finding the best Hardware for GPU Rendering, and ultimately the best Computer for Rendering.

So let’s take a look at the current OctaneBench Benchmark Results before we get into the specifics further down below:Continue Reading
