Hello,

Our first version of the standalone V-Ray Benchmark application is available as of today! You can find more information about it in its own forum section here:

thanks Vlado...
but it does not work here on several systems...
i see the "Benchmark is starting" screen and than its gone...

same here, just cpu benchmark is ok, but if system with some old gpu, benchmark in half way, application will close without notice.

Thank you for the useful tool.

It would be better if the benchmark results and system information could be output to the clipboard as text.
Easy posting on forums and SNS.

What is your NVIDIA driver version ? If it is not recent one, try updating it.

You can also check the log outputs from the benchmark. If you go to the temp folder for the current user (type %temp% in Windows explorer), there is a sub-folder "V-Ray Benchmark" that contains two text files, vraybench.err and vraybench.out; do they say anything meaningful?

Currently you may copy-paste URL that is showing your result (right after results submission).

I tried to post on the Chaoslab blog but it kept refusing my comment: "You might have left one of the fields blank, or be posting too quickly." So I'll post here:

Cool thanks for that tool! I'm gonna try it now!

My big question (refering to the Chaoslabs article) now is if I add some Ryzen to my render farm, will they output consistent resulting frames with my other Intel dual xeon in all cases? I remember back a long time ago that there was problem when mixing intel and amd cpu in a render farm. And what about embree?

I have not seen any issues so far.

That was a long time ago

And what about embree?

Embree works fine.

Nice to hear! thanks Vlado!

Since the GPU test can use multiple GPU you should add DR to the benchmark so the CPU test can also use more than 2 CPUs!

[vlado]

In some future version we could think about it

Works great on my side. Thanks.

Update1:
Can we ask that in an update, there's an option to test both scenes with CPU AND also GPU. That way we can compare our own systems with a scene, CPU VS GPU. Currently we compare our own hardware, CPU OR GPU, to other users, which great. But it would be awesome if we can compare our OWN hardware CPU VS GPU on the same scene

Update2:
In a later update, can we get a real world scene please with a lot more stuff in it and more "happening". The ChaosGroup 3D team did an AMAZING image a while back with a cartoony village with characters all over the place, foliage etc. THAT scene would be great for an exterior. If we can get something as busy for an interior, then these 2 scenes together with the original 2 scenes will be a nice benchmark
