Hello,
I spent few days trying to find out why my rendering PC is slower in comparison to similar configs.
Rendering the BMW scene takes 1m7s while PCs with a similar configuration can achieve 0m30s !!
Here is a filtered version of the Cycles benchmark Google data sheet:
My Configuration:
1- AMD FX6300
2- ASRock 970 EXTREME4
3- Kingston HX318C10FB/4 (4G RAM)
4- second Hand ASUS GTX 580 directcu II (1.5 GB only)
5- SSD SanDisk 128 GB
6- 600 W PSU
The GPU is installed on a 16x PICe slot, the Nvidia tools report a full load (100%) when rendering.
- I got the above score with the X server stopped.
- Using another cheap GPU for the console doesn’t improve my score.
- I’ve also tried different versions of the NVIDIA drivers without improvements.
- I tried both Debian (x86_64) and Ubuntu (x86_64), here also no luck.
What worries me is that the nvidia-setting tool reports a load of 100% during rendering !! which means that my bottleneck is the GPU ! if that’s the case, how can the others achieve better scores ?!
Any idea on how to improve the score or the config ?
Thanks in advance.
