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

[John Garland]

System quad opteron 8425 cpu on supermicro H8QMI motherboard with 88 gb ram
with one GTX590 4 minutes
with two GTX590 2 minutes 30 seconds
24 physical cpu cores, no hyper-threading available, the cpu cores don’t help with this benchmark but are nice to have for encoding jobs while my wife does her editing on the other computer.
This older mother board only has PCIE ver 1.1
I have 4 8439 cpus to put in, once I get a cooling solution figured out. I get to upgrade to the fastest old cpus and up the old DDR2 800 ecc ram from 64 to 96gig for less than 300 dollars.
With the old PCIE version a modern card capable of 4K editing would be a waste, but it can still be passed the jobs to encode.
These older 4u cases can be picked up cheap sometimes on ebay. Got this one a few years back for 100 dollars and 75 shipping. It was a little dented and tweaked, but pretty good gauge steel and was easy enough to straighten out. Three hot swap 1200 watt power suppplies was another 150 plus shipping. Pretty nice case with 5 fans and 8 drive bays. It is nice having 3600 watts, still 2400 while swapping supply.

Thanks for this thread!

I have been considering that maybe my card is not working right, but after reading this entire thread I am thinking that maybe it is.

Excellent info thanks!!

Just curious, what do you get for my test? (Frame 96 only)

I’m guessing it’ll take about 10 mins with three Titans.

Also, what do you get for the Arion 2.5 test?

New rig. New results.

System specs:
Intel i7-5820K (6 core) 3.30Ghz
32G DDR4-2400 (15-15-15-35)
GeForce GTX Titan

Render time: 3 minutes and 21 seconds

This shaves 1 minute and 12 seconds off my old rig with the same video card.

[Ian Mapleson]

Very interesting! Thanks for the info! What was your old rig? Is there a post in this
thread somewhere? I’ll have to search…

I can set the PCI-E version in my BIOS so tonight I’ll do another render test with PCI-E 1 and 2 and post a second set of results for both.

[Michael Stephens]

Never mind about changing the bus version. I looked and it’s not possible on the PCI-E x16 slot, just the other slots but that would mean I wouldn’t get the full performance of the card if I moved it.
