Carrara Benchmark - Scene and results

edited February 2018 in Carrara Discussion

Just found an old Carrara benchmark scene by Kixum, posted in 2010 in the Rendo forums, but it seems to older since Carrara 5 is mentioned and a web site with old scores list very old PCs:
http://renderfred.free.fr/c5pro_bench.html
For example Pentium4 at 20 minutes and Core 2 Duo at 10 minutes

Benchmark file: https://www.renderosity.com/mod/freestuff/carrara-benchmark/60396

To keep it similar to the web site, I changed the resolution from 1280x1024 to 800x600 (the benchmark file on the renderfred site is 800x600):
Intel-2700@3900MHz (4C/8T) on Win10 64Bit in 800x600:
Carrara 8.5 Pro: 1 minute 22 sec
Carrara 8.1 Pro: 1 minute 20 sec

Intel-2700@3900MHz (4C/8T) on Win10 64Bit in 1280x1024:
Carrara 8.5 Pro: 7 minute 21 sec (Default tile size 128)
Carrara 8.5 Pro: 7 minute 04 sec (Modified tile size 64)
Carrara 8.1 Pro: Not tested yet

Probably need to run it a few times to average out the score and shut down all other apps, but I will leave that for another time, when testing overclocking too.
Some runs were up to 1:30.

What is your score???

    Yeah, neither Luxus nor LuxCore can translate the mixed shader, but the lighting is probably also wrong.
    They both need a new scene with new lighting to make a comparable benchmark scene.

    Anyone with Octane that wants to try?

    Yeah, I recommend a 16-core (32 thread) AMD 1950x threadripper.
    Probably the same price as a quad core Mac.

    Or Just get a Z820 or somthing like that it should just scream through this test. Nice Dual Xeons they may be slower but designed to do the math.

    There are some Hackintosh builds with the Threadripper 1950x, you get 16 cores at half the price of a Mac Pro with 8 cores.
    Or 2x16 core rigs for the same price...

    Check your bitcoin wallet or sell your rig and buy a used workstation, like posted by others here.
    I think it was HP z620, check ebay.

    Hello Wendy

    I would have thought that your computer would have been faster than that, and a bit slower than the i7-4790K, seems like quite a difference.

    I think there is a bug that makes the render take longer if you wait.  Seems like the times are getting slower and slower.  

    12 minutes, 59 seconds

    Intel i7, 4 cores, 8 threads, 8 GB Ram

     

    EDIT:  The above was for the default size of 1280 x 1024.  Lower time for 800x600

    For 800x600, 5 minutes, 51 seconds

    Note that the fast times are 800 X 600 and I would guess the slower times are 1280 X 1024. THe size difference does make a difference.

    The speed of your RAM will also make a difference, is the CPU Over clocked? There are many factors that play into the speed of the rendering.

    To all contributers, if you don't post the render size (either the default 1280x1024 or the suggested 800x600), the time you post doesn't mean much.

    ??  I just rendered again at 800x600, and it took almost exactly the same amount of time it took before, about 2 min on an i5.

  • Bunyip02Bunyip02 Posts: 8,691

    3drendero suggested 800x600 - "To keep it similar to the web site, I changed the resolution from 1280x1024 to 800x600 (the benchmark file on the renderfred site is 800x600)"

    My original time of 1 min 5 seconds is for 800x600

    Did another render for 1280x1024 and got a time of 4 mins 30 seconds

  • HeadwaxHeadwax Posts: 9,996

    OT: I've noticed with other renders that if I change a texture in a scne and go and render it takes longer the first time I render it

    the next time I render the scene it is quicker (if I dont change any textures or add anything with textures) - I assume it's because of texture spooling?

    anyone else notice this ? I see Fenric notes :  https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/437527/#Comment_437527

     You need to turn off texture spooling on 64-bit systems if you are using any of the Global Illumination options, or Carrara spends too much time fiddling with spooling textures instead of rendering.
