  • Comparing GPU and CPU Benchmark Results

    Hello! im trying to get a better understanding of render-speeds between GPU and CPU using the vray benchmark page. However, i dont understand how i would compare the results when they all use different score-naming. How do i compare vsamples VS vpaths for example? What even is a vsample, a vpath and finally a vray? What i really want is to see how our GPU rigs (using Vray-GPU) compare speed-wise to different CPU configs. How could i do that? Thanks!

    I guess results between the different rendering methods cant really be compared anyways, because theyre rendering different scenes. Does anyone have any data on the differences?
    - What CPU rig would match 8x 3090?
    - What CPU rig would match 4x 3090?
    (In terms of rendering speed)

      Hello tobias_eek

      On the benchmark page you will find Cuda numbers for many different CPUs. It should could you a conclusion for V-Ray Cuda mode
      For example an RTX 3090 scores around 1900 in Cuda, and Threadripper 3970X 32-core scores around 900
      So 8x 3090s would match 16x Threadripper CPUs or 512 physical cores roughly

      That being said, a machine with 8x 3090 will need a special setup for this linear scaling/cooling/bandwidth..etc

        Where on the benchmark site can i see cuda scores for CPU? Sorry i just dont see it? I also see in the ''understanding vray benchmark''- post, it is recommended to compare CPU vs CPU and GPU vs GPU.
        - Also, why does the different methods, rtx, cuda, cpu have different scoring conventions?
        - Also, what do the different scoring conventions mean? What is a vsamle, what is a vpath, and what is a vray?
        Thanks

          tobias_eek, here is an example search query for CUDA results of AMD CPUs: https://benchmark.chaos.com/v5/vray-...=false&gpu=AMD

            -CPU Benchmark represents our V-Ray Renderer product
            -Cuda Benchmark represents our V-Ray GPU product, in Cuda mode
            -RTX Benchmark represents our V-Ray GPU product, in RTX mode

            V-Ray and V-Ray GPU are different render engines, the latter was wrote from scratch and optimized for speed to run on GPUs. All 3 are production proven and part of the different integrations, V-Ray for Maya, V-Ray for Houdini..etc
            V-Ray GPU is able to run on CPU devices, which we call Hybrid rendering. It can produce identical results to rendering on GPUs, so you get a rough idea of how GPUs compare to CPUs in speed

            Different ways of describing the amount of rays/samples reached per pixel in one minute of rendering, they are named differently as the benchmark uses different scenes for CPU, Cuda and RTX
