Vray benchmark results summary (performance cost)

[Tog]

Processor: 1 Intel P4 Hyperthreading ( but Max see a Dual P4) at 2.6 Ghz on a DELL

[Sushidelic]

It is absolutely clear that this is the reason of any benchmark. And i did change some things: I unchecked netrender and save file, as the outputpath didn't exist on my machine . I've just been offended because of beeing called non honest and a faker...

Regards,
Michael

btw - machine specs are a dual SL72Y
2Gb Muskin Black L2 2-2-2-5 PAT @1:1
17x206
PCL Deluxe, U-wire MOD 1,525V to 1,575V
OC by clockgen
HT enabled

I will validate your result since your XEONs are 1Mb cache and this can explain (+ your high FSB +M0 are known to be the best stepping) the difference between the other results.

heh, thanks for taking the time to put it together!

As a little side note. The frequency/MHZ that Vray lists isnt always that accurate. But its better than nothing

I think IT IS accurate since it reports the real frequency from the PLL IC of your motherboard.
The frenquency allways fluctuate so that is normal that it doesnt show rounded frequency value.
I may be wrong but Vlado can correct me if so

[DaForce]

A short note on the MHz: V-Ray tries to determine the MHz itself, so the data you see in the frame stamp is measured, and not taken from the system info - which is why you may see differences.

Best regards,

table is updated

Thanks for the update. Perhaps I am not thinking correctly, but how are you coming up with the 'perfs cost?' It would be handy to see everything on a graphical curve once the data is 'straightened' out without the overclocked values in there.

I am also seeing that serge and davex123 are running 4200 X2s versus Daforce and my 4400 X2s. Somehow their speeds are faster which leads me to believe that their processors are overclocked.

That being said, it would be nice to obtain those speeds as well and am wondering what they are using to overclock their processors - software-based or by increasing motherboard voltages in BIOS?

And one more wish - it would be handy to see 3dmark scores/motherboards appended to our systems. I'll try to post my scores once I've finished up with my projects.

[DaForce]

Serge and davexl23's results were on overclock cpu's
Serges' was at 3117 and stock mhz is 2600mhz
davexl23's was at 2649 stock is 2000mhz

THere are others as well, n6 I think you should go thru and check all the X2's and put the ones that are overclock in red, its quite obvious which ones are overclocked.

list updated

Please update Opteron pricing
Now you can buy 265 for 350 USD, other models also got cheaper - AMD started pricewar. Lucky for us, here are results :



Quadcore renderstation for half price, why not ?

[n6]

plz read my first post :
1)

NOTE 2 : The prices listed below are more european prices. US prices are often cheaper. Prices come from http://monsieurprix.fr/hardware/gen/140025.html

2)

I will try to update the results but I realy need you to post :

1)The original processor(s) specs ( since some are overclocked).
2)The complete rendered image with Vray 1.47.03 and not only its bottom...

I m not supposed to know each core frequency

Where do you see the biggest improvement in performance with the dual dual core opterons?

Is it with the light cache calculation? It seems that it would benefit the most since it's calculated on a single machine and can use mult-thread. How long did it take to calculate just the LC on this machine?

On my X2 4200 with 4 gig of ram it takes 1 min 30 seconds for the LC Total of 5 min 16.5 seconds for the entire image.

I'm considering buying a dual 265 or 275 if it's quite a bit faster for LC since I do mostly interior stills with lightcache for secondary bounce. I can then use DR to finish the image in quite a bit less time.

TR- is your 4200 overclocked? I ask because my 4400 is not and Im getting 5:53 total.
