=A0Subject: [AE] AfterBenchCC - A free total After Effects benchmarking sui= te for CPU/GPU/RAM
=A0To: "After Effects Mail List" <AE-Li= st@media-motion.tv>
=A0Date: Sunday, March 30, 2014, 3:29 PM

=A0Available for download
=A0at = www.teddygage.com/AfterBenchCC/
=A0will work on mac and pc, you need the latest AE
=A0updates to run I believe.=A0


=A0I put a ton of work into this and think you folks will
=A0find this handy. It has already been useful around the
=A0studio for profiling system strengths and
=A0deficiencies.=A0
=A0A little background:


=A0It will generate about 6 GB of video files
=A0on your system. Everything here is procedural, no video
=A0files or prerendered assets are needed, it is created from
=A0scratch on your machine.=A0


=A0This benchmark tests total systems RAM, CPU, and
=A0GPU performance in After Effects Creative Cloud 12.2.1,
=A0simulating typical rigorous production demands with 4k
=A0footage output, intensive render-heavy effects and encoding.
=A0Make sure your system is able to handle 100% load on GPU
=A0& CPU - I am not liable for any system crashes, loss of
=A0work or mechanical failures as a result of this
=A0test.=A0


=A0It is recommended that, if you have any GPU
=A0released prior to the Nvidia GTX 480, you disable the
=A0"Raytrace & Environment Map" benchmark test in
=A0the render queue, as render times may exceed 1 hour and
=A0beyond. This may also be true for many modern mobile GPUs,
=A0or GPUs with less than 1 GB VRAM. This does not mean your
=A0computer is slow, it simply means your GPU is not able to
=A0run the highly specialized AfterEffects CUDA raytrace engine
=A0with reasonable speed. =A0


=A0Make sure you have latest GPU drivers AE CC
=A0version and Quicktime codecs installed. There is an optional
=A0Element 3D benchmark left unchecked, if you have Element 1.6
=A0installed, you should check the render tickbox. Element 3D
=A0is a great plugin that works extremely fast with many common
=A0OpenGL GPUs. However, it will not affect the benchmark if
=A0you do not have Element 3D installed, simply hit
=A0cancel.


=A0You will have to select all render items and
=A0output the project to its own folder on your fastest drive.
=A0You may need to click each item in the render queue and
=A0output each render item to the chosen render folder
=A0individually.=A0


=A0INSTRUCTIONS:
=A0STEP 1: Purge RAM and disk cache (disk
=A0optional)=A0STEP 2: Confirm output paths to
=A0fastest drive availableSTEP 3: Confirm roughly 6
=A0GB HDD space available

=A0STEP 4: Confirm system airflow is good and CPU / GPU
=A0are stable under loadSTEP 5: Confirm MP is ON, at
=A0least 2 GB allocated per CPU
=A0STEP 6: Recommend you render each item separately
=A0- cannot guarantee full run in sequence. May need to purge
=A0RAM between each render to avoid memory warnings. If render
=A0crashes, simply delete render files and re-add that comp to
=A0render queue.


=A0STEP 7: Make sure your VRAM is set to maximum
=A0usable in GPU settings and your GPU is recognized with the
=A0latest CUDA drivers, if running the GPU Envmap
=A0Test
=A0STEP 8: RENDER


=A0I recommend having PC system resource monitor
=A0running and open to watch =A0CPU / RAM usage.
=A0Other good apps include TechPowerUp GPU-Z, Real
=A0Temp GT for live systems monitoring. On Mac I would use
=A0Activity Monitor or Menu Meters


=A0TO SUBMIT YOUR SCORES FOR OFFICIAL
=A0VERIFICATION:
=A0Increment and save the file after
=A0render.Delete all compositions and outputs, and
=A0save AE project again, with your name appended to the file
=A0name.

=A0Email file to FStopDigital@gmail.com
=A0for verification, along with system specs:CPU /
=A0GPU model, OS, & RAMEnjoy the
=A0benchmark.=A0
