After Effects Benchmark Test

[Kevin Camp]

if you are looking for a project to run your own tests, here’s an older one, but it should still work for newer ae versions:

if you are looking for some benchmarks of systems using that project file, try googling after effects total benchmark. if you are trying to compare macs, here is a link to a page with some results for various macpro systems from about a year ago:

I did your benchmark (as well as Brian Maffit’s … that one is REALLY old!) … and yours took 20 seconds … and I was web browsing, lol. Not sure how I stack up against other modern PC builds, but this seems pretty good to me. I’m running a OC’d Sandybridge 3.4ghz (4.6ghz stable) with 16GB’s RAM (hope to go to 32GB soon), RAID0 Caviar Blacks, SSD OS and App drive.

How can I see other’s results?

Thanks,
Tim

Hi Rob:

Yes, that’s where I went to get the benchmark project file. However, I do not see a list of results anywhere. Can you point me in the right direction?

I’ll email you my specs and results in the meantime.

Best,
Tim

Hi Tim,

This is the page your looking for

Hope that makes sense.

Rob,

Ok, right, I saw that page as well (and unless I’m really dense, and just missing it …) I don’t see a list of results. I just see your initial results from a couple of different setups.

Best,
Tim

Hi Tim,

Total results I have had from another person at this moment in time Feb 2012 is one “8 core G5”

The other result on the page is from my own mac G5.

So this is the list as it stands.

Regards Rob

Ahhhh, gotcha … didn’t realize I was seeing all that there was to be seen. 🙂

Cheers,
