Continued from the now locked “Benchmarking” thread ...

Moderator's Note August 2021:

Project sample for this benchmarking project can be downloaded here:

Thank you user @RogerS for continuing mantaining this benchmark system.

Please message him if you have questions or problems regarding the render benchmark.

----------------------

Note that the render time results are for the full project duration, the average FPS value is for the “Region 1” duration only. Please enter only the same "Average FPS" value for all of your different encoder and frame size entries.

Don't change the Project properties. Whether checking your FPS/rendering UHD or FHD, leave as is.

Templates and user data input with examples … Use similar for Nvenc, QSV, VCE, and CPU encoders.

The data rates of the 2 templates below is 24/12 for FHD and 50/28 for UHD. So irrespective of which encoder you're using, just use those data rates..

Set the Intel QSV quality slider to 4, default. If this range of 1 to 7 changes in the future leave it at whatever the default is.

My rendered out file sizes on disc. You should get somewhat similar, but not necessarily the exact same results.

FHD size = 48.9 mb ..... Data rate = 9,583 kbps ... Nvenc encoding

FHD size = 50.8 mb ..... Data rate = 9,971 kbps ... Cpu encoding

UHD size = 114 mb ..... Data rate = 22,611 kbps ... Nvenc encoding

UHD size = 117 mb ...... Data rate = 23,308 kbps ... Cpu encoding

If your output file sizes and data rates are not similar, then check that you are using the correct render template settings.

Sample User Data Input with example, text file is in the ZIP file …

Use the instructions in the screenshots below to get the Average FPS value …

If possible set the Dynamic ram Preview to zero while doing so.

Note that the region 1 section above is only used to get the average FPS value, do render out the full length project to get the various render times.

@jetdv Thanks for this!

To reduce bottlenecks and improve data consistency, all results are now collected online.

Since you're doing multiple ones, if you want to bypass the collection form and just give me the fields in this format (Excel sheet or Google Sheets) I can incorporate it into this spreadsheet for you. You can PM me a file.

@Yelandkeil Please upload the results using the form on the first page of this thread. The results won't be part of the comparison if you just paste them in here.

Alternatively, if you send me (message me a file) results formatted exactly the same as the results spreadsheet I can also enter them that way.

@jetdv @Yelandkeil Please check the results sheet- I tried to add your other results. They should be together at the bottom. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1b3ggVifKsuT-cp2kQHjum_KnQ4-2jBmUIvzmu7BQZ34/edit?usp=sharing

@RogerS, Thanks. Just one small update. I believe all of my column "N" should be NVidia. That's what the Preferences is set to (I got it wrong on the first entry). But the File I/O tab indicates Intel.

RogerS wrote on 8/13/2022, 9:47 AM

N column is for preferences/video. That looks like it is NVIDIA for you so if you didn't change it between renders it should be NVIDIA for all and I can update it.

For File i/o, this benchmark predates selectable decoding, though now I think I'll add such a field going forward. Some users made comments about decoding in comments but it's not a great way to compare anything.

😁😁😁

@RogerS, thank you thank you!

I did one, sent it, but saw the formular back to blanco and lost all my confidence.
I must go mad if jobbing in a statistic office.

So, I see the rendering drops from 01m40s to 00m56s and enjoy the other benefit day after day.
That's the power of 969Euro. 😎😎
Profit from VEGAS, too! 🏅🏆

Just posted the numbers for an Intel Arc a770. I benchmarked it as a solo gpu with monitor plugged into it. Selected it in both video and i/o prefs, and over-volted it at +125mv for optimal performance. Overclocking had no effect on performance so I left that alone. Seems to do pretty well for a moderately priced solo card. As a 2nd gpu (the way I'll be using it), the performance encoding and decoding qsv is about the same as the Arc a380 which goes for less than half the price.

Thx for posting your results with the A770. Intel has released new drivers that supposedly netted massive performance gains, albeit focused on DX9. However, I'm not sure if there were any other changes that may potentially impact Vegas Pro. If it's not too much trouble (and provided you still have the A770), is there any chance you can rerun the test with the updated drivers to see if there are any improvements?

Howard-Vigorita wrote on 2/11/2023, 12:41 PM

Sorry, away from home till Spring. I think Vegas accesses the gpu directly via the gpu-maker drivers... I list the driver versions in my signature. The one with the a770 is the 11900k machine.
