V-Ray Benchmark

V-Ray Benchmark is a free standalone application to help you test how fast your hardware renders. The benchmark includes two test scenes: one for the app and another for V-Ray GPU, depending on the rendering engine you’re looking to measure.

• V-Ray — CPU compatible
• V-Ray GPU CUDA — GPU and CPU compatible
• V-Ray GPU RTX — RTX GPU compatible

With V-Ray Benchmark, you can quickly and easily evaluate your machine's performance capabilities running V-Ray Next. Discover how your computer ranks alongside others and learn how different hardware can influence your rendering speed. With this tool, you can test the power and performance of your system and push components to their limits.

What's New in V-Ray 6 Benchmark:

Looping Tests: Push your hardware to its limits and measure peak system performance with new loop tests.

Compare V-Ray GPU Rendering Modes: Assess and compare the performance of RTX and CUDA GPU rendering modes.

New Benchmark Scene: Test your hardware with a new scene designed specifically for both RTX and CUDA engines.

Benchmark Apple Silicon: V-Ray 6 Benchmark now supports Apple Silicon chips.

Features and Highlights

V-Ray Next performance
Test your hardware with the performance of the app Next.
 
New test scenes
Created for the tool Next and designed to put even the most powerful hardware to the test.
 
New results system
With the new smart scoring system, hardware performance capabilities are easily comparable. The linear scoring results system makes comparisons easier; for example, a processor that is twice as good should have double the score.
 
V-Ray GPU Next hybrid rendering
Compare the results of GPUs, CPUs, or any combination of processing units available.
 
Benchmark GPU devices individually
Test one or any combination of GPUs to see how the performance scales.
 
Faster benchmarking
A smart score calculation system can benchmark hardware performance from just one-minute of rendering.
 
New user interface
Easy-to-use interface, reflecting all new functionalities.

Just launch the application and run the tests. Once your tests are complete, you can share the results online and see how your hardware compares to others at benchmark.chaosgroup.com. It’s a good idea to note any special hardware modifications you’ve made, like water cooling or overclocking. To get started, log in to your Chaos Group account and download the app Next Benchmark application. V Ray Next Benchmark does not require a VRay license to run.
