NEW Benchmark scene (Max 8 Vray RC3 required)

[Rhys]

Just got some new nodes x5650. Render at 37seconds on there own.

But with DR going to 8 of them. I think I've got the fastest render time so far

[razzmus]

How about adding your benchymarkies to this database:

- just a just a thought.

@Rhys
That's fast! Could you give more details on your computer or blade specs? And are you saying you have 8 computers or what?

Gees, 22 seconds, nice benchmark

[razzmus]

Hey Rhys, can't you post the image from a single node render - DR is not much use in this benchmark comparison.

[Donald2B]

He already mentioned that it rendered in 37 seconds...no need to post the image.

oc'd i7 920 running stable at 3970mhz 24/7 with akasa nero cooler


I am considering on getting an i7 980x and pushing it as further as air cooling allows,

has any body tried benchmarking an overclocked 980x?

Time for a new machine!

Using an EVGA SR-2 motherboard - that is right - dual hexacore Xeons AND overclocking. (with HT = 24 threads)

Dual X5650 2.67GHz running at 4.00GHz on aircooling, 24GB RAM. - 22.5 seconds



This is really starting to get dependent on buckets, just FYI this image rendered at 5000 pixels wide renders in 8 mins 27 seconds.

It is on average 4.95 times faster than my Q6600 quadcore at 3.4GHz in VRAY. Nice upgrade!

@Dave,

How much did that machine cost? didn't know that you could overclock a dual xeon that much very good result indeed..

@Dave,

I built it for about $6K aussie dollars including refundable 10% tax = about $5100 USD. (see below)

It is the only motherboard I know of that can overclock dual Xeons, AND have high graphics performance, AND can use cheaper non-ECC ram.

Working well so far, with one exception - crackly audio under heavy load, which I haven't fixed yet.

Only a few cases can fit it - it is huge. There are lots of things to research should you decide to build one - not for beginners. go to the EVGA forums and read a lot. But it is about half the price of an equivalent Dell. And faster.

Pretty sick setup That mobo is badass to say the least! 2 sockets and 12 Dimm Slots, yummy, is that a dual Lan too?

Oddly (or not) enough I have a single i7 980 X running @ 4.0 ghz and its time is almost exactly double of yours... and so was the price of your machine

I'm trying to download the benchmark (on page 1 of this thread) but the file seems to be damaged. Anywhere else to get it from?

[stellwagenc]

i have it uploaded for you
