1.46.10 Simple Benchmark

Silver and I wanted to do a benchmark using 1.46.10 and we came up with this rather simple file which utilizes some of Egz’s materials. We had drastically varying results which is why I brought this up:

Silver posted his results below:

My results turned up a time of 43 mins versus his 14 mins. While I understood that my processor might be a little slower, I didn’t expect it to be THAT much slower. The two major differences imo are hyperthreading and service packs. Could this make that much of a difference?

Silver’s system specs are:
Asus p4p800-e
Intel p4 ht 3.2
PC3200 DDR400 2GB
Windows XP SP1

My system specs are:
MSI K8N Neo2
Athlon 64 3200
PC3200 DDR400 2GB
Windows XP SP2

In case you’re interested in testing this out, this benchmark file can be found here.

Hey Rerender, i turned on my shity slave machine and rendered it with DR and i got 12m 29sec..i couldn´t catch your dual xeon :cry: . Thats why im buying a dual opteron :lol: , i hope this gets faster. Even i think that from 17min to 12min, its a good decrease of time.

Nice test, thank you guys, with this i saw that i need urgently new machines.

You urgently need a new one? I feel like an old man now with 43 mins…

Is anyone running SP2 out there and if not, then any particular reason why???

Whoops, actually this box does has SP2 , I don’t have many problems, about the same as ever… . I know discreet was saying not to use it.

Hi Guys, I just tried your benchmark test file and I couldnt get it to open in Max 6. Are you all using max 7?
Could you post up a version for max 6 please??

Cheers

Here is my test
Asus PC-DL Deluxe mb
Dual Zeon 2.8 HT enabled

I don’t no why mine is faster than a Dual 3.06 zeon, but I’ll take it. :lol: Rendered without any changes to the file.

Here is the file rendered wirh DR no other changes to the file. Two slaves amd 2500 1 gig each

It’s much better now. I cleaned out my registry (sys mechanic) and updated my BIOS. The only thing that has changed system-wise since last BIOS update (2 months ago) was the addition of an extra gig of RAM. Perhaps it was a BIOS setting that didn’t get changed with the new RAM and the settings (timings?) got flushed. It’s the only thing I could think of.

18

Thats much better!!
I was gonna say check your bios, usually when the computer is running mega slow its cause something has gone funky in the bios.

Good to see you got it worked out.

i was going to buy an expensive dual machine but after seeing the results here i think its better to get some single cpu render slaves for the money.

why is the speed increase of the dual machines to the single cpus only 40 percent???
