    Hello everyone,

    now that Resolve 10.1 is out officially and people are getting their hands on new MacPros, its time to update the Standard Candle.
    A standard candle is a known source of luminosity .
    It defines the distance of an object based on its magnitude
    Here some more detailed information what it is used in astronomy :
    https://www.astro.ex.ac.uk/people/hatchell/rinr/candles.pdf

    I created a Resolve document that everyone can import and flick through the versions to see how much GPU performance their system has.
    Please post the numbers and refer to this thread as a reference how “good” your system performs.
    There is only one footage file used and it comes with the installer of Resolve and Resolve Light.
    So the only thing you need to do is to use the “Change source folder” function to re-link to the file called “Tutorial – Tracking.mov”

    The project itself is HD with 100% default values , the footage is HD this time but again its not relevant for disk performance.
    This test is designed to put stress on your GPU pipeline, so be sure you have enough cooling.
    When testing please load VERSION 1 first, press play and check your FPS.
    Lets it spool up an check out on what FPS number it settles in.
    If it flicks between two numbers, go for the lower one and discard the .5
    Press Stop and advance to the next version.
    The TNR nodes will shuffle image around so there is no looping memory cache.

    Here the results from our system.

    Mac Pro 5.1
    Processor 2 x 2.4 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon with 20GB
    OSX 10.8.5
    Display : Quadro 4000
    GPU : Cubix Desktop with 3x GTX 680

    V01 06 blur nodes 24 fps
    V02 12 blur nodes 24 fps
    V03 24 blur nodes 22 fps
    V04 36 blur nodes 15 fps
    V05 01 TNR nodes 24 fps
    V06 02 TNR nodes 24 fps
    V07 03 TNR nodes 13 fps
    V08 04 TNR nodes 08 fps

    Here is the link to the updated R10.2 version

    Post you results and system specs in this thread and keep the discussion short.
    If you can please do tests on OSX 10.8.5 and OSX 10.9.1 using the same hardware.
    Windows and Linux specs are more than welcome as well 🙂

    Happy testing !

    All right…all right…seems like we need more normal nodes for the Titans.
    Colin, could you double Version 3 or 4 and see if it bogs down below 24 ?

    But nice to see the TNR is almost the same.
    Could anyone from BMD chime in and let us know if TNR is CPU or GPU dependent ?
    And what is the status of AMD ?

    Sascha, would you mind if I would host it? It would never expire, and we could update it to every new version.

    Hey Laco,

    thanks for the offer, much appreciated…
    I just updated the test to also put some stress on Titans…
    Here is the link and my numbers again…

    So everyone, give this one a shot and let us know if its to much now.
    If not this will become the new standard.

    Good 🙂
    That might be the highest score we will see.

    Come on guys, give us some low numbers now…anyone with a standard system ?

    Have a new 6 core d500’s on eval. Couldn’t get d700 8 core 🙁

    Will run the test in the morning.

    Shots so short it doesn’t get upto speed :-/

    Also the Blurs are Blur > Sharpen > Blur .. kit misleading. Plus they are matted.

    Where do we measure the FPS from ?
