AE CS6 11.0.1 CUDA BENCHMARK PROJECT – test your graphics cards!

[Ian Mapleson]

Most likely it’s being cached somehow, or it’s rendering in Classic 3D Mode, something
like that. Just go through the settings, make sure each is as it should be, and of
course ensure all caches are cleared before starting the test (media, disk & RAM).

You probably forgot to clear out your ram preview

Should I just use the test in the first post and convert the project to CC? no fidling with anything? just export out?

[Michael Stephens]

Correct. Load the file, make sure you have the comp set to Ray-Traced 3D, then send the comp to the render queue.

[Ian Mapleson]

And remember to clear all memory & disk caches before
running the test. Also make sure RayTrace3D is turned on.

Right, screenshot or it didint happen as they say. Ran the test again, as I forgot the screeny the first time around. Lost 1 sec which makes it 3:13 now.

P.S Everything in our system is stock. No OC at all on any of the parts.

[Ian Mapleson]

Thanks for the result!! I’m looking forward to hearing how
the test scales with the extra Titans. Also, can you run the
ArionBench test aswell? Both CPU & gfx? Would be interesting
to see how CPU performance differs to the XEON 2697 once you
have it installed.

My system has the older ASU P9X79 WS (3930K @ 4.7, 4x GTX 580
3GB). How have you found your newer E-WS board in terms of
setup and usage? Any issues?

Hi Ian. Glad we could contribute. Regarding our current motherboard. Its great, really. Not a single crash or anything, easy to config and setup.
I reckon the bios is pretty much the same as your’s to be honest. I would advise though, to get a separate RAID controller if you have several drives, the Marvell 6Gbs controller is absolutely horrendous compared to the Intel. Even in RAID-0 the Marvell 6Gbs struggles to reach the speeds of a single drive in the Intel 6Gbs. I am absolutely clueless as to why ASUS dosent just have only Intel RAID controllers on their boards. Would be much better.

But no, no issues in terms of errors. 🙂 And now yes, they added the support for the new Xeons with the latest bios update, so we can just switch over to the 2697 V2 when we want, and on that note; I will test our system with Arion now, note the results and test again when we get the extra TITANS and CPU 🙂
