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

[Marc Gutt]

A friend of mine tested the GTX 1070 and it finished the benchmark in 2:34 in CC17.

[Ian Mapleson]

Marc, did you change the setup somehow so RT3D could function?

How can you run the test in CC 2017 ?

I got every times errors by AE CC 2017.

first converting it to CC 2017 but then i will get errors during rendering.

[Ian Mapleson]

I think peope are using modified libs to enable the relevant later CUDA support, hence my earlier question. Really though it contradicts the subject line of the thread. I just wish newer submissions would include details of how any mod was done so others can benefit from the info.

I got a new System 7980XE with MSI GTX 1080TI SLI and the gpu rendering in CC2017 does not work or working horrible.

I download this optix dll but it does not change anything.

Then i registered at nvidia and Download latest version 4.x.x but the the cards are not regognized.

CPU only Rendering only is horrible too.

I thinking about to replace the TIs with my 3 Titan Black Cards and hope this will works much better.

[Tenchi Muyo]

The TIs running only at 10% load i think the Blacks running at much higher load and consume lots of power.

So someting is not working right.

Maybye i cancel the Adobe CC and go back to my CS6 master collection.

Jesus I can’t believe people are still trying to use this benchmark

Guys, the AE raytracer is far beyond end of life, it’s no longer supported, stop using this benchmark or trying to hack your AE to get results you can’t even compare accurately to others, and that do not utilize any new graphics tech.

Don’t remove your brand new graphics cards.

Don’t uninstall CC2017 and go back to CS6.

Embrace the future, move on from this and use modern technology to the fullest.

Explore actual 3D programs like C4D. Heck even Element will use your GPU resources much better than this.

And may I also suggest moving on from Creative Cow. This place hasn’t been relevent for 5 years.

Unless you just feel like getting yelled at by Dave LaRonde. I dunno. Everybody has their fetish.

Please consider this benchmark officially abandonware, like the AE raytracer. There are so many other ways to test your system if that’s what you’re looking for. May I suggest Redshift or Cycles4D? They would blow your minds if you’re still doing 3D in AE.
Love,

I think there are still quite a few users who have not “upgraded” from their earlier standalone versions. I put that in quotes because I have talked to solo pro users who do not like the subscription cost model at all. I say solo pro because the bigger companies I know don’t use AE (seems to be mostly Flame, Smoke, Nuke and a few others).

For those who are still using CS6, it continues to be relevant. What you say is true only if one is now using the CC setup. Some still don’t. I’ve talked to people who really like how CS6 works. I can’t convey the specifics that well, but they like the way its 3D mechanism operates. However, I reckon the number of people in this situation is very low, hence the rareity of native-CS6 posts here these days.

You’re right though that it’s kinda nuts to bother with this benchmark if one is using proper CC 2017. ????

That would need the stragglers to be convinced to accept the subscription payment model. Some don’t like it.

How much does the CUDA plugin cost?

Blimey. ???? What is relevant these days? I guess things change so fast. Must admit I only still post because I keep receiving the email notifications for this thread (I don’t check the site in general).

I suspect CS6 would die overnight if Adobe had a straight purchase option for CC aswell as subscription.

(apologies Tedday, I missed the earlier-post context of what you said before!)

(SLI is not necessary or used for GPU rendering)

Pardon me for asking, but if you’re using CC2017, doesn’t that mean you’d now be wanting to use the C4D system instead? If so, I think that only gets CUDA acceleration if you buy the separate plugin.

> CPU only Rendering only is horrible too.

Shoulda bought a 1950X. ???? The XE overheats too much for this sort of task, downclocks to manage the thermals.

Bad idea, I would expect three TBs to be slower than two 1080 Tis.

Hi!

Thats very interessting, now i installed CS6 enable Multicore (did not saw thsi option in cc 2017).

Now it blast my 18 Core away running this bench (btw its not to used to bench times its more to check if the system works perfect).

My old 4960X@4Ghz needs over 3 hours (each time i cancel the test because its taking too long).

Now the 7980XE needs maybe less the one hour.
If its finished i will post the time.

Then i try to get my TIs running with cs6.
