Redshift Benchmark results are not easy to find, that is why I compiled a list for everyone to take a look at. I myself use Redshift for Rendering Projects on a daily basis and recently purchased a new Rendernode with lots of GPUs.

When you build a new PC or Rendernode for Rendering, there is no way around digging deep into benchmarks.

Cinebench Scores are great for comparing CPU Rendering performance, but if you use Redshift heavily, these benchmark results will be invaluable:

Cinebench Scores are a great way to get an impression of how fast a CPU is in different types of workloads.

No matter if you are planning on building a Computer for 3D Rendering, Gaming, Streaming or would just like to see how different CPUs compare to each other, a clean Cinebench Scores list of the most current CPUs, frequently updated & neatly sortable, should put a smile on anyone’s face.

As the Cinebench Benchmark tests the Multi-Core Performance as well as the Performance of a single core (usually under Turbo-Boost), it is a great Benchmark for finding the best Processors for your needs.

That could be heavily Multi-Core optimized workloads, such as Rendering, or heavily Single-Core restricted workloads, such as Viewport-Updating as in Cinema 4D or (still) Gaming.

Knowing how much RAM or Memory you need for editing your Photos in Photoshop can be quite tricky at times because there are so many factors to keep in mind.

This is why I have put together this overview guide that will hopefully answer all your questions about RAM/Memory usage when Editing Images.

First of all, the total Memory usage can be split up into 2 main parts:

How much RAM does your Photo Editing Software need?
How much RAM does the rest of your typical System need to run stable?

Let’s start with the second one so we have that out of the way.

There are many GPU and CPU Benchmarks out there.

CPU Render Benchmarks, GPU Render Benchmarks, Benchmarks for Gaming, Storage or Bandwidth are just some of them and benching your System can be quite addicting.

Especially in the World of building a Workstation for 3D, VFX and Animation, putting your CPU, GPU, and other components through a series of tests and comparing them to the performance of other Systems and configurations is so much fun, that sometimes you upgrade, tune or overclock your System, just to see those numbers rise.

Most importantly though, the benchmark should be able to simulate a real-world work environment, because this is what it’s all about: Figuring out what Hardware Components will get you the maximum speed for the type of work you do.Continue Reading

What Does Ti mean in a GPU

Ok so here is a quick one. What does “Ti” mean when seen in a NVIDIA GPU Name?

With “GPU” meaning Graphics Processing Unit and being responsible for all kinds of Graphical Calculations on the Computer, the GPU helps the Processor output a picture to your Display Monitor.

Now what about TI? Well its actually the periodic table abbreviation for “Titanium”.

It doesn’t mean however, that there is any Titanium used in the fabrication of the GPU. At least not more than in any non-Ti cards.

Now how does this translate to rendering performance? Let’s take a look at some of the more recent generations of NVIDIA Cards:Continue Reading

Are you thinking about getting a new Video Editing Desktop PC or a Video Editing Laptop or want to upgrade your existing one?

Do you want to make sure your current Hardware is strong enough for the type of editing Projects you might have planned or are working on?

RAM is one of the most important Hardware parts for your video editing needs.

(Skip the theory and jump to RAM Size recommendations directly here). I will tell you exactly how much RAM you need for Video Editing. But first let’s look at some of the theory behind it:

RAM is getting cheaper every day!

You have probably seen it already, but take a look at how Prices have come down over the last year:
