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

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

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

Graphics Card (GPU) based render engines such as Redhift3D, Octane or VRAY-RT have matured quite a bit over the last years and are starting to overtake CPU-based Render-Engines.

But what hardware gives the best-bang-for-the-buck and what do you have to keep in mind when building your GPU-Workstation compared to a CPU Rendering Workstation? Building a 3D Modeling and CPU Rendering Workstation can be somewhat straightforward, but highly optimizing for GPU Rendering is a whole other story.

So what are the best Hardware-Components and best GPU for rendering with Octane, Redhsift3D or VRAY-RT, that also is affordable? Let’s take a look:Continue Reading
