Thank you Ian for the kind words! It’s difficult to explain something in english for an italian like me!

I have to be honest,i’m a bit tired of build and rebuild my machine. I’ll live with the GTX680…at least is quiet and cold!

Hi Muammer!
So your GTX680 amp renders the comp in 6.24. It’s almost the same result of another 680 here in this thread. I think that the other one must be an amp version too…

[Roberto Tafuro]

Thank you Ian. I don’t want to make OT,because this thread is about benchmarks,and i must admit that one or two minutes more doesn’t make kill myself (in the “night-render” world you know,the important thing is to make all right and don’t need to render again!),but i don’t understand why a GTX680 with 2GB renders in 6.11 min and a GTX680 with 4GB renders in 7.4 min. If we are talking about ray trace and GPU render and if i understand how it works,the CPU and ram (system ram) doesn’t make difference in this kind of test. So a GTX 680 will render in approx the same time on every system. Is it correct? PCI 2 or PCI 3 as i understand come in place when you use SLI so a PCI 2 doesn’t make a difference on a single card.
I have the same result with an Intel DX58SO mobo and with an Asus P6T Deluxe. So it’s not a problem of mobo and it’s not a problem of the GTX680. As i said it’s a new rebuilt machine with two SSD,24 GB of ram (i know that is not a huge quantity,but i work very well and ram usage never goes up to 50% in render queue) and a i7 980x…so i don’t think that i have a low end machine…
I’ve tried to boost the card in GPU tweak,but i’m not able to oc a card and the fear of screw something is too much,so i prefer to work with standard settings…
I’ll stay with this values and be happy with the card,but the 50sec differences from the result i’ve seen here with another 680 is really strange to me…
Maybe there is a way to use better the GTX680?
I don’t know!!!
Thank you again for your time and patience and sorry for my bad english!
best regards,
Roberto

Thank you Teddy for the detailed explaination. I’ve seen better performance in Cinema 4D and Cinebench score is higher than my previous 480. Like you, i don’t use raytrace so much, i prefer Element 3D and its speed boost, but i was puzzling on why my results are worse than other previous cards!
Thank you again,
Roberto

PS
Here i see on quad cores and GTX570 better results than mine…what a hell!!! 🙂
I have to sell this 680 really soon…

[Roberto Tafuro]

So…i think that the GTX680 is the worst GPU here! I have changed my mobo from a DX58SO to an ASUS P6T Deluxe to add other 12GB of ram. I have an i7 980x 3,33GHz, 24GB of ram and an ASUS GTX680 with 4GB.
I’ve updated CC apps to 7.1 and made a test yesyerday. I’ve boost the GTX680 to 1245 in gpu tweaks (if iremember well, otherwise the driver will stop to work).
My time is 6,56 min or 6,58.Absolutely no change from previous AE. If i leave the boost to its default i have 7,04 min, like in the past.

What i think…i don’t know…i’ve seen here GTX680 with 2GB made this render in 6,11 min, with a 4,xx GHz processor…but quad core (HT 8 cores i presume). I have a 6 core (12 threads) and i have slowest results…i use a PCI 2 but everywhere i read there will be no difference in this type of test. So…what’s happen?
I have two Intel DCS3500 SSD (240GB for OS and 120GB for AE cache)and i have rebuilt my pc,so i have only CC apps installed, no internet connection, no process in BG (Nod 32 is closed when i work)…
Strange results here and i really don’t know why. I think that the 680 is not well used by mercury in Premiere too…
I have a MXO2 mini, so i thought that the lag may come from the Matrox card and i plugged it out. No changes.
At this moment i don’t see any imrpvement in this new release of AE at all.

System:
Asus P6T Deluxe
i7 980x
2x SSD (AHCI mode) Intel DCS3500
ASUS GTX 680 4GB
24GB of ram triple channel Kingston
Matrox MXO2 Mini w Max

Sorry for my bad english!

[Roberto Tafuro]

Yes Jason! But i don’t think that reinstall CC apps will help in this case. I’ve found other threads with same problem and a reply from Todd that says that this is a known issue.

Hope that it will be resolved soon.

Yes,on my laptop,an i7950 with 4GB of ram works in the same way,terrible lags. With CS6 absolutely no problem. Another Nvidia graphic card on the laptop with the same drivers of my 680. Probably is a combination with Windows7 and Nvidia cards. Really don’t know! I’ve started a thread on the Adobe forum hoping for a solution. Otherwise i have to go back to CS6 because lags are really problematics while working.
Thank you so much for your time!
Bests,

Yep,i’ve updated my apps this morning,but nothing changes unfortunately!

[Roberto Tafuro]

JC you’re not alone. Performance in CC is terrible. CTRL+Z…wait CTRL+A…wait…if i hold the spacebar to move my preview window…wait before the hand comes in…P for position…wait…S for scale…wait…it’s terrible.With multiprocessiong,without multiprocessing,with GPU (GTX680 4GB),without GPU.
In CS6 everything works superfine,my machine is up to date and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it…
So AE CC is slow in response,not for all sure,but for much people yes.
Bests,
Roberto

Intel i7 980x
GTX Asus 680 4GB
12 GB ram
First try 7min
Second try 18 sec…
Just to say that there are a lot of things that makes a render faster.
If you run a ram preview for ex it takes on my machine 4 minutes and the rendering takes 18 seconds after the ram preview.
If you lock the preview with the Caps the rendering is made in 5 minutes the first time. If i disable the Nod32 the rendering is done in 4 minutes too…
Funny esxperiments 🙂
