Chaos Group V-RAY This is a test of Chaos Group's V-RAY benchmark. V-RAY is a commercial renderer that can integrate with various creator software products like SketchUp and 3ds Max. The V-RAY benchmark is standalone and supports CPU and NVIDIA CUDA/RTX based rendering. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Blender Blender is an open-source 3D creation and modeling software project. This test is of Blender's Cycles performance with various sample files. GPU computing via NVIDIA OptiX and NVIDIA CUDA is currently supported as well as HIP for AMD Radeon GPUs and Intel oneAPI for Intel Graphics. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
LuxMark LuxMark is a multi-platform OpenGL benchmark using LuxRender. LuxMark supports targeting different OpenCL devices and has multiple scenes available for rendering. LuxMark is a fully open-source OpenCL program with real-world rendering examples. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Unigine Superposition This test calculates the average frame-rate within the Superposition demo for the Unigine engine, released in 2017. This engine is extremely demanding on the system's graphics card. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
ParaView This test runs ParaView benchmarks: an open-source data analytics and visualization application. Paraview describes itself as "an open-source, multi-platform data analysis and visualization application. ParaView users can quickly build visualizations to analyze their data using qualitative and quantitative techniques." Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
