Post Your Render Times

Published by Eugene (etr9j) on June 18th, 2006 in Miscellaneous

I saw a thread by Gunnar (gunnarstahl) on the BlenderArtists forum and thought it would be something worth doing so we could 1) Have a lot of fun seeing how different specs handle the same scene and 2) maybe getting some worthwhile information on what really makes rendertime diminish.

Gunner started the thread as a community benchmark event after doing the particle grass tutorial's .blend file and rendering it on two different machines.

So to make the the image render with the default settings of the file: Open the file in blender and immediately press F12 to render it (so we'll be using the Blender Internal). Then enable "Threads" in the output box (next to the render box) and press F12 again to render it. Post the results here with the specs of your machine. And it can be any machine! Your laptop, your main machine, your parents box that they say has the "interweb" - anything! The more variation the better.

Here is what I'm posting (my times are on the thread altready). If you don't know all these details, just post what you know!

Version of Blender (2.41, 64-bit build, CVS build [date?], etc.)
Processor brand, number of cores, speed, frontside bus, L2 cache (if known)
Amount of memory, type (DDR, DDR2, etc.), speed, dual/single channel?
Operating System
Render Time without threads
Render Time with threads

And how praytell do we measure render times (other than with a stop watch and staring at our monitors)? After hitting F12 and watching the image render, the time will be right above the image in the render window. And for those really looking to "nerd-out," yes, the picture is a binary clock.

Previously posted, non optimized build:

Version: CVS June 17, 32 Bit
Intel Centrino 1.5 Ghz
1GB RAM @ 333Mhz
Ubuntu 6.06 - Dapper Drake
2min 27.75 sec, withouth threads

Optimized build

Version: CVS June 19, 32 Bit, GCC optimized for Pentium4 and SSE2
Intel Centrino 1.5 Ghz
1GB RAM @ 333Mhz
Ubuntu 6.06 - Dapper Drake
1min 58.06 sec, withouth threads

I got all puzzled with the optimizations that I had to make my builds optimized, and it is in fact a big difference, even in compile time, it compiles faster too.

Go SSE2, GO !

Proccessor: Intel Celeron @ 333Mhz - cache size: 128Kb
Memory: 96Mb of memory so old I can't remember what it's called (certainly not DDR)
Time: 15:50.66 without threads - epat

BTW: I think I've still got an old 386 kicking about somewhere, if you want me to test on that too ;)

Version 2.41, 32 bit
Intel Pentium 2 400 Mhz
384MB RAM
Knoppix 4.0.2
Time: 15:11.68 without threads

But to justify such a long render time: My computer runs a live linux while rendering so the long rendertime is only because a lack of RAM i think, render time in windows follows soon.

I've also rendered it on my mothers PC, here are the
