Hey Teddy,

Any way you could do something similar to cbscores.com with the results?

Maybe ask the 3d Fluff guys for a template of their page with the submit functionality and such. It's been a great go-to when researching new processors to see how they fair in the benchmark.

New update - Here is a sample video of all the files that your machine will render in a run of the 60 MB AfterBenchCC project

https://vimeo.com/90489125

Again, the file is available at www.teddygage.com/AfterBenchCC/

It's not really recommended for systems older than 2 years, it may take a long time to run, especially with older GPUs. However it is broken into several 3-5 minute tests, so you can pick and choose which test you want to run without demanding too much time or resources. I highly recommend the fractal noise CPU test to get a clear idea of system performance in a single run. 

Here are my current results, the rest of our machines will be added soon.

"IRONMAN"

4.7 GHz hex core CPU, 64 GB RAM, 720 GB SSD RAID1, hyperthreading off

MP OFF: 2:28

4K KEYFRAME: 3:12

4K ENCODING H264: 0:26

Fractal Noise 4K all CPU: 3:55

4K Encoding MP4: 0:18

RT & EnvMap GPU: 5:12

Cineware: 8:51

Element 3D: 5:02

"The flash"

4.3 GHZ quad cpu, 4770k, 16gb ram, 2x gtx 580, hyperthreading on

MP OFF: 2:22

4K KEYFRAME: 3:25

4K ENCODING H264: 0:36

Fractal Noise 4K all CPU: 7:11

4K Encoding MP4: 0:22

RT & EnvMap GPU: 4:15

Cineware: 8:42

Element 3D: na

"JACKAL" 

Late 2013 Macbook pro

 2.6 GHZ boost up to 3.8 GHz, quad core cpu, 16gb ram,  gtx 720m, 1 TB on board SSD, hyperthreading on

MP OFF: 2:34

4K KEYFRAME: 3:36

4K ENCODING H264: 0:35

Fractal Noise 4K all CPU: 7:01

4K Encoding MP4: 0:25

RT & EnvMap GPU: 43:23

Cineware: 9:13

Element 3D: na 

Some really interesting numbers here, I'm going to create a spreadsheet with some nice graphs and have a link on my site. Thanks for checking it out!

Yes of course, already working up my own results for display. Will be updated frequently

 Subject: [AE] AfterBenchCC - A free total After Effects benchmarking suite for CPU/GPU/RAM

 will work on mac and pc, you need the latest AE
 updates to run I believe. 


 I put a ton of work into this and think you folks will
 find this handy. It has already been useful around the
 studio for profiling system strengths and
 deficiencies. 
 A little background:


 It will generate about 6 GB of video files
 on your system. Everything here is procedural, no video
 files or prerendered assets are needed, it is created from
 scratch on your machine. 


 This benchmark tests total systems RAM, CPU, and
 GPU performance in After Effects Creative Cloud 12.2.1,
 simulating typical rigorous production demands with 4k
 footage output, intensive render-heavy effects and encoding.
 Make sure your system is able to handle 100% load on GPU
 & CPU - I am not liable for any system crashes, loss of
 work or mechanical failures as a result of this
 test. 


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


 Make sure you have latest GPU drivers AE CC
 version and Quicktime codecs installed. There is an optional
 Element 3D benchmark left unchecked, if you have Element 1.6
 installed, you should check the render tickbox. Element 3D
 is a great plugin that works extremely fast with many common
 OpenGL GPUs. However, it will not affect the benchmark if
 you do not have Element 3D installed, simply hit
 cancel.


 You will have to select all render items and
 output the project to its own folder on your fastest drive.
 You may need to click each item in the render queue and
 output each render item to the chosen render folder
 individually. 


 INSTRUCTIONS:
 STEP 1: Purge RAM and disk cache (disk
 optional) STEP 2: Confirm output paths to
 fastest drive availableSTEP 3: Confirm roughly 6
 GB HDD space available

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


 STEP 7: Make sure your VRAM is set to maximum
 usable in GPU settings and your GPU is recognized with the
 latest CUDA drivers, if running the GPU Envmap
 Test
 STEP 8: RENDER


 I recommend having PC system resource monitor
 running and open to watch  CPU / RAM usage.
 Other good apps include TechPowerUp GPU-Z, Real
 Temp GT for live systems monitoring. On Mac I would use
 Activity Monitor or Menu Meters


 TO SUBMIT YOUR SCORES FOR OFFICIAL
 VERIFICATION:
 Increment and save the file after
 render.Delete all compositions and outputs, and
 save AE project again, with your name appended to the file
 name.

 Email file to FStopDigital@gmail.com
 for verification, along with system specs:CPU /
 GPU model, OS, & RAMEnjoy the
 benchmark.
