Standard Candle v82

[Colin Travers]

Just to be sure here, all i did was import the project and hit play for each version..not adjusting any project or playback settings or is there something i need to know in order to do this test correctly?

V1 2 nodes : 24 fps
V2 4 nodes : 24 fps
V3 6 nodes : 24 fps
V4 12 nodes : 12.5 fps
V5 NR 4 : 24 fps
V6 NR 4 : 19 fps
V7 NR 4 : 10 fps
V8 NR 4 : 3 fps

I plan to upgrade to a 580 or 680 in order to maximize performance on my MacPro and allow for rendering beyond 2k as well which is not possible because of the low ram on my current 470.

Thank you for posting this up!

no this is as it is intended. no adjustments.

I’m thinking of hd or 4k candle as some people have to fast gpu configs 🙂

I will see if i get material what i can distribute.

Hey Magnus,
The idea is not to use 4K material but to make a 4K project and do the GPU work on 4K
playing the media is too dependent on other criteria.
But I agree, some 3×580 might want to double the amount of nodes 😉
Thats all it does actually, give you more of them , it wont play faster.

Yep totally agree.

My point was just to not have those insane 120 node results coming up with beefy configs
like with 3d mark etc.

Hi Guys,

Just testing out my system :

12 Core Mac Pro
3×580’s

V1 2 nodes : 24 fps
V2 4 nodes : 24 fps
V3 6 nodes : 24 fps
V4 12 nodes : 24 fps
V5 NR 4 : 24 fps
V6 NR 3 : 24 fps
V7 NR 2 : 24 fps
V8 NR 1 : 12 fps

As Rohit said previously also you can get 4 nodes of noise reduction at NR 4 too.

I’m a happy dan with my new system!
