Byron, definitely let me know. This is exactly why I created this project by the way - to catch and eliminate systems bottlenecks and maximize performance on people's machines. For example, I discovered that, at least according to these tests, that unless you are running Cineware or Element 3D, you should turn OFF hyper-threading for a huge performance boost in AE. This is done in the BIOS on PC machines, usually under CPU performance settings. Unfortunately Apple has disabled this functionality in OS versions past 10.6, which is just insane to me. However you can set "reserved cores" in the AE prefs to be half your logical cores, equal to your physical cores, and it should help. This way the maximum amount of RAM is available to each core and should improve render performance.

Yeah, something seems fishy. I got 88fps with the 680 on a PC. I may try to put the Titan in the PC next and see how it fairs.

Yeah, I'm getting 45fps in Cinebench. 1288cb for the CPU. I'll test my PC with a 680 next and see how it compares.

Hmmm interesting... Have you run any other tests on the titan? My guess is that there is some kind of bottleneck on the motherboard, maybe the pci bandwidth of the older mac pro doesnt support all the titan throughput? Or could be that the pc drivers are simply much more optimized?

What kind of numbers do you get from this test

Should be around 4-6 minutes i think

Or from cinebench r15 in the openGL portion? I get around 110 - 120 FPS in the openGL test on that with the titan, depending on overclock

I just ran the test on a MacPro(5,1) 12 core with 16GB RAM and a Titan GPU. I only got 12min on the GPU test. I wonder why it's so much slower than your PC with the Titan? Do you think the CPU speed or RAM is affecting the performance in that GPU heavy comp?

Greg, here are the results so far, will make it prettier once I get more info. Please send me your scores to fstopdigital@gmail.com or on twitter @teddyrocksteady

Would love to see this run on a new mac pro, any takers? Should only take about 20 minutes

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

"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

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!
