Blender Foundation, an independent non-profit public benefit corporation, recently announced the beta release of Blender Benchmark.
Today we present the Blender Benchmark, a new platform to collect and display the results of hardware and software performance tests. With this benchmark we aim at an optimal comparison between system hardware and installations, and to assist developers to track performance during Blender development.
The benchmark consists of two parts: a downloadable package which runs Blender and renders on several production files, and the Open Data portal on blender.org, where the results will be (optionally) uploaded.
We’ve built the Blender Benchmark platform with maximum focus on transparency and privacy. We only use free and open source software (GNU GPL), the testing content is public domain (CC0), and the test results are being shared anonymized as public domain data – free for anyone to download and to process further.
We believe this is the best way to invite the Blender community to contribute the results of their performance tests, and create a world-class Open Dataset for the entire CG industry.
The benchmark tool has 2 types of test – Quick and Complete. Quick Benchmark takes about 30 minutes while Complete Benchmark takes about 1.5 hours.
Testing the Blender Benchmark on the PC shown below, the Quick Benchmark took 33 minutes and 9 seconds to finish. During the Quick Benchmark, CPU usage is 100% and RAM usage peaked at 2.3 GB. A brief run of the Complete Benchmark had a peak RAM usage of 6.5 GB.
Intel Core i7 7700 3.6 GHz (Turbo disabled)
AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB
8GBx2 DDR4 2133
Ubuntu MATE 18.04 LTS
The first official release will be in September 2018.
