Benchmark Scene 2 (version 0.3.6a or higher is required)

[ToneDead]

It seems that people are using different methods for bench-marking. I, and others, use the non-RT (production render) for bench-marking while others use the RT renderer. The latter should give you faster times because it doesn't factor in the scene pre-processing.

This confuses the benchmarks as everyone should be using the same method, either RT or non-RT.

Andrey (@Karba), can you weigh-in on this please: were the original benchmark times RT or production render times? What do you recommend we use for more accurate benchmarks? Cheers!

Hello everyone!
All graphics cards are installed through a riser from x16 to x16
Four were defined as x8, two as x16 and one as x4

Time with 1.2.5b was just under a minute slower. That's a huge improvement! :O

Hello everybody!

I made a test today:

Render version: 1.2.4d
Config: 2 x GTX 1080Ti 2x GTX TITAN
Render time: 3:08
Driver: 398.11

Going to update to 1.2.5 and Nvidia driver right now

Hey guys, does it matter if you render using production or if you use RT?

1.2.5b on max 2018

GTX 980ti EVGA FTW @ - clock 1190 - memory 1753 - clock boost 1354

Driver 398.11

Using production:
Render time: 10:06

Using RT:
Render time: 9:51

Driver 398.82

Using Production:
Render time: 10:16

Using RT:
Render time: 9:57

Driver 378.78

Using Production:
Render time: 10:09

Using RT:

because production render time includes scene compilation as well.

Just shaved 2:08 off my previous time by increasing my GPU clock (I previously reduced my WindForce OC to stock 780Ti clocks for stability. Now they are back to original manufacturers clocks, but the mem clock is still reduced to 3000MHz).
