Altough this is an old post I wanted to add sth:
Asus Laptop, Apache G-71 or sth, well the new ones (hard to say that sth is new when you buy laptop with new gfx cards after so many years yet the benchmarks are still the same – conclusion: software coding needs to be upgraded, not the hardware ;).
Specs:
i7-6700, 2.6Ghz (4cores, 8 threads, GTX 970M 3GB version,
16Gigs of Ram DDR4, mx ssd drive blah blah (and win 8.1, r.i.p). Now:

I have done the benchmark (add enabling the 970 card in AE and PR with optix library) and got the result: 5:31. So it’s nothing new, the hardware is good, fast, blah blah.
Now HERE’S THE THING that made me register and ask you guys:
In preferences I have ticked the Multiprocessing (so all CPU allocated, 3GB per core) and rendered the same project: IN 5 seconds. The quality of the output was the same (well, bitrate slightly lower – no problem as it was loseless anyway), instead of mov I got avi. Can someone tell me what is that all about then? 5 SECONDS?!
Sory if this is some trivial difference in image processing that I didn’t grasp but I just had time and no more will to write the darn application for a client and website for myself, almost 24:00 in here :).
Cheers!
