UPDATED BENCHMARK (ITS FASTER I PROMISE)

[Fernando_Blanco]

Copy and paste and the link works.

Would you believe mine is "AA D27094-305"
So where does that put me?

Just flashed the BIOS with the latest version and got 6:23

[percydaman]

actually your's doesn't look like the others. Are you sure your using the 'Vray 1.5' version of the benchmark scene?

[CCS]

Yep. I've DL'd it several times now.

You know what though... Unzipped, the file I have is called "cornelltestnew_1.5", but there are a couple I've found that when unzipped are called "cornelltestnew_1_5".

The "1.5" file asks for a missing tga (some diffuse map, by the name of it). The object that uses it isn't visible though, so I didn't think anything of it.

I just rendered the "1_5" file and got a better time. 5m 8.7s

1.5 file is dated 8/13
1_5 file is dated 8/16

Who's in charge of version control around here, anyway???

(So - how does 5:09 sound for this machine?)

[jacksc02]

that looks a lot better scott....

[powerandrubber]

Just got a vray license for my new machine (E6600) and rendered it without backburner and am still getting a time of about 4:30. Shoulde be closer to 3:30 according to other benchmarks with the same machine. Any ideas?

[CCS]

Nah - I think you're right on target.
I was curious how these Conroe's are shaping up so I put together the following. (All of the tests on C2Ds that were done with the correct file)

[Fernando_Blanco]

If I am not mistaken your time is right.
3:30 is the time for a 6800 or a
OC 6600.

[powerandrubber]

Ok thanks. I was going by Spikeadeliv's post on page 22 where he got 3:30 with the exact same setup as mine. It was with 1.47 which I also tried with the same resulting time but maybe he's OCing. I can live with my purchase now!

[Neilg]

I'm thinking of getting a 6400. Bear in mind i'm on a fairly tight budget and building for £750, so going any higher isnt an option.

How easy is it to overclock? What cooling will I need, what should I look out for?
Ive never done this before, but ive heard that they overclock really well and most people ive seen with one have done it.

I'll run the benchmark on my current home pc this weekend if you all fancy a good laugh.

[DaForce]

post it

i like a good giggle ...

[momentum]

i cant wait to see the benchmarks from these

http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/09/...age/index.html

it will be amusing to see how long this thread lasts to see how fast we can make this scene render with newer and newer hardware. We may eventualy have to use the first cornelltest that was originaly posted (before it was made faster) that took too long to render

[Da_elf]

someone else who visits toms hardware? wow. cant be too many people like that

[timmatron]

Tom's Hardware rocks.

[DaForce]

Tom's Hardware rocks.

Sure... if you like skewed conflicting results, dodgy benchmarks, and bribery, then yeah i guess there is a lot to like.
