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.
OctaneBench is a test of the OctaneRender on the GPU and requires the use of NVIDIA CUDA. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
This is a test of Indigo Renderer's IndigoBench benchmark. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
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 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.
This test runs SPECViewPerf 2020 if available on your system. SPECViewPerf is made up of real-world OpenGL workstation tests such as CATIA and SolidWorks. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
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.
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.
