Ryzen Benchmark Redux

[Midge]

I was messing around with the Ryzen benchmark blender file and ended up creating my own "enthusiast" version. Figured this would be a good place to share this after lurking all these years.
There's two versions of the file, one for CPU, one for GPU. Ironically, AMD gpu's don't support everything yet in Blender Cycles, so the GPU version is meant for Nvidia cards.

I would recommend a card with 6GB of VRAM or more, not sure if 4GB is enough, but I can't test it myself.

 

DOWNLOAD (OneDrive)
EDIT: Forgot to mention, there's two png's of the final render here as well. One 1280x1280, one 4096x2160.

 

Anyway here's my render times for comparison:

- CPU: 1h 35m 04s (Linux Mint 18.1)

- CPU: 1h 59m 1s (Win10)

- GPU: 11m 50s (Linux Mint 18.1)
- GPU: 12m 35s (Win10)

 

And the relevant specs of my workstation which was built for GPU rendering:
CPU: i7 5960X @ stock
GPU: 1x Titan XP + 2x Titan X
MOBO: MSI X99A SLI Plus
RAM: 64GB DDR4

 

PS: And yes, I know... a 5960X at stock speeds is blasphemy around these parts, but I can assure you I lost the silicon lottery on this one. Badly.  And the last thing I need is an unstable workstation for an extra 10% performance.

holy crap that looks amazing. amd should use this

Looks freaking awesome. I would love to use this as my background but my GPU is broken and rendering on my R7 M265 would take years

There's a 4K version of the render in the download link.

Understandable.
You don't actually have to install Blender though, they provide a .zip version you can just unpack and run here too.

well just did some testing with the official benchmark....

ryzen (and 6900k) seems to be clock to clock only slightly faster than haswell. Just tested my xeon 1231v3 @3.6ghz and it was more or less exactly double as fast as the xeon, but it has also double the cores/threads. If i saw this correctly, ryzen needed 35.sth seconds, mine took 1min 12 s and my 970 did it in 14 s

 

sadly I can't render your file because lack of vram

Also, blender renders about 40% faster on OSX and linux  compared to windows.

It's gotten better in my experience. CPU is definitely still a little faster in Linux but GPU is almost one-to-one on my machine. (Linux & Windows)
As for macOS, I haven't used blender much on a mac so I don't know about that.
I prefer Linux as my workstation though, as it doesn't completely lock up my system (unlike Windows).
